Skete is like a one trick pony. Has she not flogged this narrative to death?! This is just going to produce thousands of answers saying people won’t buy products endorsed by Simone or LFYD etc. Her polls and feedback forums are just an echo chamber.
I find the whole “I won’t buy it if an influencer is pushing it!” narrative really interesting. Are people really just saying that? Or are they following through?
For example, I’m not a Simone fan (even less of a fan since she had #2 and is pretending it’s a breeze
I have two children and I know it’s not!) but I’m currently wearing Lorna Jane tights. I think she’s a
head but it doesn’t stop me buying that brand if they sell something I need or want
I didn’t use her discount code btw.
But surely if having that influencer as a brand rep really truly was causing damage to the brand they’d backtrack and un-align themselves the same way brands have been doing with Simone.
It makes me wonder if maybe people are just all talk and want to make it sound like they’re disgusted with influencer marketing but in reality they love the cheeky discount codes.
For what it’s worth I click through all ads but I definitely go looking for discount codes when I’m shopping and try to use one belonging to a less problematic influencer where possible. I’m also only human and want to get things as cheaply as possible so ..
