In today's digital landscape, the power of social media is undeniable. For tour and activity operators, the guests who walk through your doors are not just customers—they are your most valuable brand ambassadors.
Imagine a family on your tour, huddled together against a breathtaking backdrop. The perfect memory is captured and preserved digitally. Then, with just a few taps, that memory is shared with their social network. Their friends and followers, many of whom have similar interests, see the moment through the lens of an authentic experience from an infinitely trusted source. Where and how is your brand included in that shared memory? This is the essence of word-of-mouth in the digital age—organic and genuine. it’s incredibly effective and gut-wrenchingly overlooked.
Unlike traditional influencer marketing, where endorsements can come across as insincere or forced, guest-generated content carries the weight of authenticity. People trust the recommendations of their friends far more than a paid post from someone with a large following. But what if you could identify those guests who, without any incentives, naturally amplify your brand’s reach to an even larger audience?
Discovering Your Organic Influencers
You never know when a guest with a significant social media following will participate in your tour or activity. When they share their photos, the impact can be tremendous, introducing your brand to a wider and more engaged audience. These guests, who we might call "organic influencers," can become invaluable partners in growing your business—if you know who they are.
Influencer marketing has become a buzzword in recent years, with brands shelling out significant amounts of money to have influencers promote their products or services. But this strategy comes with risks:
Fotaflo's system is designed to automatically double down when “The Marketing Thing” is working well. Our analytics track the unique clicks on the photo memories shared by your guests, curating and ranking individuals based on their social reach. This information empowers you to engage with these high-impact guests more strategically. Instead of paying someone to promote your brand, you can naturally foster relationships with guests who are already doing so out of genuine enthusiasm.
Once organic influencers are identified, the next step is simple: reach out. Fotaflo can help automate the process by sending a personalized note, thanking them for their advocacy and asking if they’d like to be featured on your company’s social media. This small gesture can go a long way in deepening the relationship and encouraging further sharing with the added impact of growing followings within your social channels with real, engaged people who already trust you!
In the battle between traditional influencer marketing and organic guest engagement, the choice is clear. With Fotaflo, you’re not just capturing memories—you’re unlocking the potential for those memories to drive meaningful, authentic growth for your business. By leveraging the power of your guests’ social reach, you can achieve the kind of brand amplification that money simply can’t buy.
