Nano or Mega Influencers, Which one is Trending Most in 2022 Influencers Marketing World?

2022 is the year that is set for a new change and drastic changes in the digital landscape. If trends are a telling on what that future is going to look like, then it is saying bye-bye to celebrities and mega-influencers and hello to the dawn of micro and nano creators. The reason is, creators with smaller followings on their social media platform are a great asset in the strategic play of the influencer marketing world in 2022.

The trend forecast is that smaller influencers, who are just starting out and are very niche in nature, are able to help and give brands the most returns on their investment. Now is when we turn the conversation over to the consumers, who view nano- and micro-influencers as “people like me,” which makes them more likely to trust and take action based on their recommendations.

Mega: 1 million + followers. Macro: 100,000 – 1 million followers. Micro: 10,000 – 100,000 followers. Nano: 10,000 followers or less. Similarly to a nano influencer, many social media users view micro-influencers as friends and therefore, take their advice, suggestions, and recommendations rather seriously.

Why Micro-influencers are better than macro-influencers?

Potential for higher ROI: Micro-influencers cost a lot less because they have smaller followings. Because of that, you’re more likely to see a better return on your money. Micro-influencers get 47% more engagement on their posts compared to macro-influencers, putting your brand in front of more interested shoppers.
