How much does influencer marketing cost?
Influencer marketing costs range from under 100 dollars per post for nano-influencers to tens of thousands for macro-creators, with most brands running micro-influencer campaigns at roughly 100 to 1,000 dollars per post. Total cost depends on creator tier, platform, deliverables, and usage rights. Gigde structures campaigns to maximize return at any budget.
Pricing scales with audience size and engagement. Nano-influencers (under 10,000 followers) may post for free product or under 100 dollars; micro-influencers (10,000 to 100,000) typically charge 100 to 1,000 dollars per post; macro and celebrity creators run into five and six figures. Video, exclusivity, and paid usage rights raise the price.
The smarter question is cost per outcome, not cost per post. A portfolio of micro- and nano-influencers often delivers a lower cost per acquisition than a single expensive placement, because their audiences trust and act on their recommendations. Budget should follow engagement quality and audience fit, not follower count.
Management is part of the cost too — sourcing, vetting, briefing, and measuring creators takes time and expertise. Gigde runs influencer marketing as a managed service so the spend is allocated to creators who actually convert, with clear measurement.
