One of the highlights from Carmen and Mercedes sharing is the ideal influencer traits on serving corporate sustainability. The three most important traits of an influencer are credibility, pleasantness, and emotions. Credibility affects how trustworthy the customers will feel about the delivered marketing message. Pleasantness helps to initiate a relationship between the brand and the customers. And last but not the least, emotions will help to strengthen and prolong the relationship in the long run. Businesses can look for or develop influencers based on these three ideal traits.
