Vietnamese Influencers for Korean Cosmetics

When it comes to marketing for beauty brands, no other ways can beat Influencer marketing at its best. Influencer marketing is not only an emerging trend, for the beauty industry, it’s also a fundamental part.

Beauty brands were among the first to realize and take advantage of the capability of online influencers. Businesses in this area, markedly Korean beauty companies, generally view this form of marketing as the heart of their customer engagement and brand building.

Influencers can help brands to have many advantages, for example, the authenticity of the products when it was favored by someone who has the respect and admiration of millions of online followers.

In the Vietnam cosmetic market, Influencers also have a high position as 69% of Vietnamese consumers often search for cosmetics information through Facebook accounts. More than half of cosmetic users have ever bought cosmetics online once or twice a month. And 72% of these people have bought cosmetics through social networks. (Source: VIRAC, Q&Me).

K-beauty brands did take advantage of this insight in their conquest of the Vietnamese beauty market, not only famous brands used KOLs (Key opinion leaders) to amplify their presence but smaller, emerging businesses also made the most of Vietnamese beauty bloggers grow.

So, if you are a new player in the Vietnamese cosmetic market, which Influencer should you work with to build your brand awareness? 

Choosing Influencers is not easy work, it’s not hard to look for a Youtube star, an Instagram model or a hot Facebook account with million followers, but the question is, who worth the effort of building the relationship? The chosen Influencers must share like-minded values and tone of voice. And it takes time, dedication and research to find one.
