Abstract
As social media platforms have matured, influencer marketing has increasingly gained favor among advertisers. This study explores the optimization strategies for influencer marketing in the beauty industry. Through case analysis and previous research experiences, it is recommended that suitable influencers for different brands and products be selected. The findings indicate that influencer marketing significantly enhances brand awareness and consumer trust. However, brands need to make precise selections based on target customer groups, brand image and story, and influencer types. The three key factors proposed in this study—target customer groups, brand value and story, and creator types—offer specific brand guidance when choosing influencers. By optimizing influencer selection strategies, beauty brands can build their brand image more effectively and improve market competitiveness. The conclusions emphasize that influencer marketing should become a necessary promotional tool for beauty products. The study also highlights future research directions, including applying these strategies in other industries and more systematic data research.
