Conclusions

Engaging Singapore influencers can benefit your business and help them grow. But it is not easy to find social media influencers that align with what your brand stands for as there are tons of influencers in Singapore and the right influencer marketing strategy. With great power on the influencer, it also means great risk to your brand as well. Oftentimes, some mistakes by the influencer will have an adverse effect on the company they endorsed and promoted as well.

But no marketing should be done silo and should often use in combination depending on your business but influencer marketing should be in your consideration, especially if your business is in the beauty & lifestyle space where it often yields the best results.
