So, let’s dive into ColourPop’s Marketing Strategy and find out what worked for them\ud83d\udd0d:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>1. Recurring influencer relationships lead to higher engagement and boost brand sales\ud83d\ude80 <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recurring influencer relationships lead to boosting brand sales like Safiya Nygaard a beauty influencer, mentioned ColourPop\u2019s range six-piece lipstick collection announcing that the products were live and showcased a high level of engagement with over 0.9M likes in 2019,  @colourpopcosmetics hit the most likes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colourpop influencer marketing has shown great results. Here are examples of Influencer videos that worked! As you can see, the engagement went almost 3 times of average!<\/p>\n\n\n

A noteworthy thing is that ColourPop has been tagging influencers on every post. This also builds a certain level of trust with influencers as they know they can grow faster by getting in front of ColourPop\u2019s massive 10M audience!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>2.<\/strong> Staying Consistent and Leveraging the power of Instagram Reels<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As reels are the most engaging content on social media and are incredibly flexible in how they can be shared among audiences, they are much more versatile than feed posts. Users can easily share Reels with friends via Stories, and discover Reels on the Explore page, as the Instagram algorithm continues to favor this content format over others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@colourpopcosmetics uses the same strategy to engage its audience and share content which will lead to higher engagement. Whereas, carousel and single posts equally play a role in Colourpop’s Instagram marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see the number of published posts on the y-axis, and a day-by-day analysis on the x-axis, with the color indicating the type of content of the posts. <\/p>\n\n\n

As you can see, most of the posts created were videos (shown in purple on the chart) and uploaded as reels on Instagram. This is a major deviation from the standard approach that the other competitors took where they were happy posting single images on a non-consistent basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They post single-image posts, carousels, and reels on a regular basis. As seen, they usually post an average of 6 posts a day<\/p>\n\n\n

As we can see, they mostly post content between 7 AM and 6 PM. This shows that they post their content only when their followers are active, which seems to be working for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This clearly states that frequent collaborations with influencers, posting around six posts a day, and staying active on social media have worked well for ColourPop cosmetics resulting in a high level of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
