We have compiled a few tips for you.
Tip No.1 — Consumers are interested in content of good quality even if it has product placements. The key is how to creatively and smoothly embed the endorsement. A hard placement of ad will not only look awkward, it will hurt the performance of the video and your return on investment.
Tip No.2 — Keep in mind that the purpose of working with an influencer is to create some original content TOGETHER. Do give the influencers some autonomy during the production process.
Tip No.3 — Bilibili influencers are known for their tribal appeal, not mass appeal. Understand the niche market and his/her target audience before making a choice on which Bilibili influencer to collaborate with.
