In this article, we give you seven reasons why you should consider working with an influencer agency when launching your boutique in Paris.

 

1. Increased visibility

First and foremost, an influencer agency significantly increases your store's visibility. Influencers have thousands, even millions of followers who follow their recommendations. By working with them, you can reach a large audience quickly and effectively. Our experience at 18h08 enables us to implement proven strategies to draw attention to your store and generate traffic from the very first days of opening.

Our campaigns are designed to go viral, leveraging social networks to amplify your message. This attracts curious and engaged visitors. We extend your reach to reach a diverse audience.

 

2. Credibility and trust

Influencers have a relationship of trust with their audience. When they recommend a product or service, their followers are more inclined to try it. By using an influencer agency like ours, you benefit from this credibility. Potential customers see your store as trustworthy. This is because it's recommended by someone they follow, someone they feel they know. At 18h08, we carefully select influencers whose values and audience match your brand. This builds trust.

Indeed, we know that trust is essential to converting a visitor into a customer. That's why we choose influencers who share your brand values. They can speak authentically about your products.
