Influencer marketing shouldn't be a one-off tactic. Building long-term relationships with relevant influencers can lead to ongoing brand advocacy and content creation that goes beyond a single campaign. Consider offering value to the influencer beyond just payment, such as early access to new features or industry insights.

I would say that effectiveness in this case depends on the product and the specific influencer. In any case, I wouldn’t rely on them as the main focus. Instead, I would trust more reliable methods like SEO, social media, and so on.
Efficiency isn't just about immediate results. Building long-term relationships with relevant influencers can be incredibly efficient. Turning influencers into brand advocates who consistently showcase the value of your SaaS leads to sustainable growth and user acquisition.
I've seen successful SaaS campaigns leverage influencers who are already passionate about the product or industry. A genuine endorsement carries more weight than a generic promotion. The key is to develop a well-defined influencer marketing strategy with clear goals and targeted partnerships.

@david_muray I agree! It’s most effective when it’s less promotional and more passionate. When someone loves using your product and talks about it they sound so much more convincing than someone who just reads out the promo script.
Just a sponsored post might not cut it. Efficient SaaS influencer marketing involves creating valuable content that resonates with the audience. Educating viewers about the product's benefits and showcasing real-world use cases builds trust and authenticity, leading to better conversions.
While big-name influencers might seem appealing, consider the power of micro-influencers. They often have highly engaged communities within your niche and can provide a more authentic endorsement of your SaaS product.

Good for awareness but not crucial. I wouldn't build the whole marketing only on influencers.
its a good initial boost to your product... at time i feel its a better bet than paid ads.
