We continue to see an uptick in influencer video during key retail merchandising periods as a way for marketers to break through the clutter with safe, trusted peer-to-peer content recommendations that their target consumers are actively looking for.
An example, right now, is Amazon’s Dads & Grads Electronics Gift Guide, including some well-known YouTubers – helping guide their audience and Amazon’s shoppers on the right picks for the upcoming events.
Among the influencers, include:
- UrAvgConsumer: Nearly 1.5 million followers across social media and one of his videos was featured on the mobile homepage of Amazon recently
- Dom Esposito: Nearly 600K followers across social media
- and Krystal Key: More than 350K followers across social media
Check out their content live on Amazon below:

We want to congratulate UrAvgConsumer, Dom and Krystal Key for their features on Amazon. These influencers have established credibility and trust in their area of expertise and they are starting to be leveraged the same way ‘good housekeeping’ or ‘consumer reports’ might have pre-influencer, this is the millennial’s ‘seal of approval’.
