Skills Needed to Gain Influencer Marketing Benefits
BeeSmart relied on several strategies for the influencer marketing benefits Crayola PlaySand experienced during this campaign. We relied on strategy, Instagram expertise, and content strategy. From the start, we worked towards finding influencers who could authentically represent our client’s brand while also raising brand awareness. The end-goal was to increase in-store sales, and that’s exactly what happened. Even in the Spring and Summer of 2020, our client experienced revenue growth because of the influencer marketing benefits drove consumers into stores to buy the product.

BeeSmart’s Perspective
Working with Crayola PlaySand has been a great experience for the BeeSmart team. While we know influencer marketing benefits ecommerce companies, we saw a similar benefit to this consumer-product brand. We focused on driving in-store traffic to increase sales for our client, and they were happy to report a 7% increase in revenue. The results were so good that we won a w3 Award for our work on the 2020 campaign. In a year where we faced challenges never faced before, we helped our client’s consumer-product brand not only survive, but thrive. We were able to help our client find that perfect blend of ideal influencers, great photography, on-brand messaging, and timing. We look forward to working with Crayola PlaySand in the future.
