11 of the Best Influencer Marketing Tools

Finding the right influencers and building relationships is hugely important for your brand. It will help you reach a wider audience, target ideal customers, and create more trust between you and your social following.

According to a McKinsey Study, marketing-inspired word-of-mouth generates more than twice the sales of paid advertising and customers have a 37 percent higher retention rate. For every dollar spent on influencer marketing, marketers see a $6.50 return.

You can understand why 84 percent of marketers expect to launch at least one campaign involving an influencer in the next 12 months.
