This article will provide an in-depth analysis of how SHEIN cleverly used overseas influencer marketing to achieve the rapid rise of the brand.
1. Overseas internet celebrity marketing model
1. Cooperation with internet celebrities
In the early stages of brand development, SHEIN began to cooperate with a large number of overseas Internet celebrities, seizing the situation at that time Instagram and Facebook were waiting for the traffic dividends of overseas social media. SHEIN cooperates with overseas mainstream fashion and the most influential fashion bloggers who have a large number of followers. Through payment, SHEIN expands the brand’s exposure and influence. The promotion effect of these top Internet celebrities is rapid and significant, bringing massive traffic and fans to SHEIN.
2. KOC channel cooperation
SHEIN not only cooperates with head and waist Internet celebrities, but also actively seeks KOC (Key Opinion Consumer) channels, which means cooperating with ordinary users who understand consumer needs and preferences. For KOCs with fewer fans, SHEIN will give away free clothes or exclusive discounts, allowing influencers to produce unboxing videos, clothing try-on reviews, lookbooks and other content. Once conversions occur, influencers can also get 10%-20%. Commission share. By holding sweepstakes and other interactive methods, SHEIN encourages users to participate and helps brands attract more users’ attention. As user interaction increases, a large number of users spontaneously share SHEIN-related content, further bringing more traffic to the brand.
3. Alliance channel plan
SHEIN also encourages users to share brand-related content through the affiliate channel program. Fans can spread the word on social media. Once a transaction is facilitated, you can receive a commission of 10%-20% as compensation. This approach motivates users to actively participate and expands the brand’s influence.
