We cannot negate the power of beauty influencers in the industry. The use of influencers is the most current marketing tactic for beauty brand owners. Their degree of interaction is one of the main indicators to examine when determining what influencers from Nigeria you should partner with. These group engagements is determined by taking the average likes, comments and mentions from the last 10 posts and divide that number by followers.
