1. Why "Micro"? Power of Specialized Followers Maximizing ROI

Mega-influencers with millions of followers contribute to awareness expansion, but in purchase conversion, "Psychological Distance with Followers" and "Professionalism of Information" become bottlenecks. On the other hand, micro-influencers with 10,000 to 50,000 followers have acquired extremely high trust in specific categories (beauty, gadgets, time-saving cooking, etc.).

Because their posts are received not as "ads" but as "recommendations from trusted friends", they are likely to lead to final purchasing behavior. In full-funnel marketing, this "deep vertical trust relationship" acts as hub to pull potential layer to manifest layer at once and smooth transition to lower funnel.

Especially, it is important to analyze qualitatively "what followers feel value in" from content of comments on past posts and reflect it in creative. By strategically arranging social proof, churn of first-time users is prevented.
