  • It really easily and efficiently filters out the most relevant influencers needed by a business according to the business portfolio.

Connecting with influencers has never been easier.

Pros

  • I love the automation in this influencer connection service. TapInfluence has an automated process in which it recommends influencers who can do very good publicity for my business sector. This feature is very important to me since in this way the advertising will reach people who will really take that information into account because it is of interest to them.
  • The main panel of TapInfluence has divisions where I can see all the influencers who are working for me, in addition, in this individual panel I can know all the advertising that each of the influencers has done and see what traffic that advertising has generated, I can know the views that advertising has had and the clicks it has obtained. It is very important to be able to consult all this data from the main panel, so I can know what performance each influencer is giving me.
  • TapInfluence offers me a very stable communication service, where I can constantly converse with each of the influencers who work for me and with the influencers that appear in my "recommended" window.

Cons

  • TapInfluence does not provide me with functions to contract with the influencers. Currently, it only allows me to communicate with them and I must contract them with a third-party service, since TapInfluence does not provide me with functions to be able to carry out the contract on the same platform. TapInfluence allows me to add the influencers that work for me, in order to have a synchronization of the advertising data that each influencer does, however, the contract process I cannot do.
  • It is software with very high prices. The prices offered by TapInfluence may be lower, the functions it offers are completely basic and are not so advanced that it has such high prices. The functions of TapInfluence include the influencer advertising monitoring service and the direct contact and recommendations of influencers for each business sector, I do not understand why the prices are so high.

Return on Investment

  • Our company has managed to be more recognized nationally, we have been recognized by a totally reliable company and with very efficient real estate services, thanks to the publicity that the influencers have achieved in TapInfluence.
  • We have obtained more clients in our company. Thanks to the extensive publicity that influencers have made, more clients come to our company every day to ask questions and to access our real estate services.
  • We have improved the display of the influencers' advertising reach. This has helped us to know which influencer has been more profitable and how much audience has obtained the publicity.
