It’s already the fourth quarter of 2020 which means the holidays are right around the corner. Once the Halloween decor is put away, the holiday gift shopping is in full swing which means brands will be leaning in to influencer marketing to help drive awareness around the must-have products of the season.
In September Find Your Influence surveyed nearly 500 social media influencers to understand the technology trends that are top of mind this holiday shopping season. From their preferred format for gaming to their preferred gaming console, Find Your Influence helped uncover the influencers’ intent to purchase technology products before the end of 2020.
“In a year filled with ups and downs in the economy combined with various fears, frustrations and fatigue linked to COVID-19, it’s a positive sign to see social media influencers signal their interest in upgrading their various technology before the end of 2020,” shared Jamie Reardon, CEO and co-founder of Find Your Influence, a top influencer marketing platform.
Using the proprietary survey technology developed by Find Your Influence, the survey was completed online from September 23-25, 2020 reaching different types of influencers, including nano influencers, micro influencers and macro influencers. The survey reached a sample (482) of the Find Your Influence influencer database of active U.S.-based social media influencers.
