Their last attempt at settling the awkwardness is when Gumball pretends that he is Hot Dog Guy's new father, much to the latter's horror. Not wanting to give up, Gumball suggests that he and Hot Dog Guy try extreme measures and audition for "Elmore's Got Talent." They do so, and they progressively cringe watching it from TV at the Wattersons' house until the two pass out and end up in the hospital. This does not work as Hot Dog Guy refuses to expose his lower body, and the situation is made worse due to Banana Joe's presence. Gumball has an idea where they both expose themselves to each other in the shower room. Finally, they come to an agreement that they need to find out why the relationship between them is so coarse. As the school day goes by, Gumball and Hot Dog Guy's need to use the restroom grows greater and greater. The two try to use the restroom at separate times but keep on running into each other, trying to avoid the outcome of making things more awkward. They try to calm down in their respective stalls, but as their deep breaths progress into screams, they realize that they are unable to do so in each other's presence and leave the restroom. When he enters the restroom, he encounters a particular student that he is very awkward with, Hot Dog Guy, who also needs to use the restroom.

No one wants to be bombarded with advertisements from the celebrities they follow on social media. At some point, audiences will become disengaged, or less engaged than they once were. One of the other challenges of influencer marketing that isn’t often discussed is the fact that the influencer space on social media is becoming incredibly saturated. You can usually spot a fake influencer if they have an unusual follower-to-engagement ratio, have had a recent spike in new followers or have lots of irrelevant or generic comments on their posts. These accounts have no influence over their followers, which means your brand won’t get any results if you unknowingly partner with one. ![]() Certain accounts on social media have skyrocketed to influencer status by purchasing fake followers, rather than growing real audiences over time. ![]() If you’re tuned into the influencer marketing world, chances are you’ve heard about the growing problem of fake followers. Although I believe the positives greatly outweigh the negatives, there are a few things you should be wary of when deciding if influencer marketing is right for your business. Like with any marketing strategy, influencer marketing has its downsides and challenges - the high cost being the most obvious one. For reference, an average/good engagement rate is somewhere between 1% and 3%, whereas anything over 3.5% is considered a high engagement rate. You can also get a sense of how much you’ll be paying per engagement. You can use online tools, like Social Bluebook, to view an influencer’s engagement rate and determine how many people would actually see your product if they were to post about it. Someone who has 500,000 followers but has a very low engagement rate won’t be as impactful as someone with 200,000 followers with a very high engagement rate. Think about engagement as the percentage of the influencer’s audience that actually interacts with their content, rather than simply following them or scrolling by their content. In fact, some marketers will tell you that engagement is even more important than the number of followers an influencer has.Įngagement is a score that combines an influencer’s number of likes, shares, views and comments on their posts. Engagement is another big piece of an influencer’s overall ability to help your business get new customers. So, what makes a great influencer? You might be surprised to learn that it’s not all about their followers. Remember Engagement Is Just As Important As Followers If the person in mind is out of your budget, you can also find similar influencers with a smaller reach who might charge less for an influencer campaign. Tools like Social Bluebook give us an idea of how much we should pay an influencer, depending on their size, and it also helps us ensure we're not being overcharged. Since influencer marketing is a fairly new space, a lot of us don't know how much to pay an influencer for their work. This is a great resource a friend recommended to me a while back. To estimate how much a specific influencer might charge, check out Social Bluebook. According to a 2018 report from Linqia, 30% of marketers said they planned to spend $25,000 to $50,000 per campaign, and 24% reported that they would spend $50,000 to $100,000 per campaign for the year. It can cost you anywhere between a few hundred dollars to well into the six-figure range. The price of an influencer marketing campaign varies significantly depending on the influencer and how much they charge. But despite these impressive stats, you’re probably wondering how much influencer marketing actually costs. Over 71% of marketers believe that working with influencers positively impacts their business, and a whopping 86% of marketers have used influencer marketing in the past year. How Much Will Influencer Marketing Cost You?īrands of all sizes, in almost every industry, are cashing in on influencer marketing. According to research, 74% of consumers say they trust the opinions they see on social media - including those from influencers - when deciding whether to purchase a product. If you’re skeptical about how effective influencer marketing is, research has already proven its impact.

The van drivers were also super nice and helpful (Even when I lost my phone and had to track it down- They drove everywhere for me). The van drivers were always prompt and we never had to wait hardly at all. But, really it was nothing to be nervous about. When we first got to the resort my Husband and I were nervous about all of the hills and riding the van everywhere. She made sure my Husband and I were having a great time and loved chatting with us! I even joined in on some of the games, dances, and exercises she lead. Also, Raquel was very sweet and wonderful as well. ![]() We also went snorkeling with "M" and had a blast!

My husband and I had a fantastic time at this resort! The staff really made our stay that much more enjoyable.
