Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Influencer Marketing Platform Market

COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a temporary shutdown of several businesses as well as social distancing from the external world. Numerous measures have been implemented to control the coronavirus's spread, such as the imposition of a mandatory quarantine, closure of business setups, travel restrictions, and cancellation of events. Similarly, the marketing landscape has experienced many transformations due to social distancing as well as quarantine, changing the usual way of living. As marketing expenditure has been cut off, brands capitalize on digital marketing methods, including emails, social media, and influencer marketing.

The precautionary strategies implemented have hampered the ways of the influencer marketing industry.

For example, the travel restrictions have bound the hospitality sector to reduce their marketing expenditure, thereby impacting the social media presence of travel influencers. Also, food bloggers are finding it difficult to upgrade their social media feed. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic has urged both the influencers and the brands to assess and restructure their marketing strategies for sustaining user engagement.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in fewer brand collaborations, digital platforms have gained immense traction. This is mostly contributed to the extraordinary increase in the consumption of social media platforms during people's practice of social distancing. With the increasing use of social media, influencers have gained an opportunity to keep their active audience engaged, with their creative and positive content.
