It offers services like truck rentals, bike deliveries, and courier pickups through a mobile app. Currently operating in 20+ cities across India, Porter has become a go-to solution for affordable, on-demand logistics in Indian cities.
Porter planned to expand its services to Nashik, Maharashtra in 2024. The company aimed to raise awareness about its on-demand logistics solutions, offering convenient options like truck rentals and courier deliveries to businesses and individuals in the city.They wanted to take the help of social media based influencers to increase the visibility of their brand and services.
The Porter team was sure about running an influencer marketing campaign to create awareness and tried running one but faced multiple challenges in coordinating and executing the campaign on their own.
Challenges
1. Fragmented Influencer Market
India is a geographically and socio-culturally diverse country.This diversity gets reflected in every sector of economy and Influencer market is no different. The diverse and fragmented nature of the influencer market meant lots of time spent identifying the right influencer for the campaign. Influencers have varying degrees of influence, reach, and audience engagement, as well as niches. This complexity makes it difficult to ensure the effectiveness of the campaign. As the Porter’s marketing manager explained, “We found ourselves buried under the sheer volume of influencers, each requiring careful evaluation for authenticity and engagement levels.The process was exhausting and demanded significant time and resources to manage effectively.”
2.Infeasibility of One fit all approach : Creators of different regions have different genres to connect with their local organic audience.This gets more complex in a Tier 3 city like Nashik where per capita income of people has huge variance and you need tailor made strategies to cater different set of audiences.It proved difficult for Porter to find and connect with local influencers.Thus one fit all approach proved to be challenge for Porter.
3.Target Audience Mismatch: Influencers popular in Nashik may not align with the logistics and business-focused audience Porter aims to reach. Identifying influencers who appeal to both businesses and individual users could be tricky for Brand which doesn’t have any experience in this. 4. Inefficiency of Campaign Management Running a large-scale influencer marketing campaign can be complex and time consuming. As the portfolio of influencers grew, the complexity of coordination and communication increased exponentially. This resulted in delays, oversights and burgeoning costs, ultimately making the campaign inefficient and hindered its effectiveness. 5. Difficulty of Measuring ROI Porter’s marketing team lacked analytical insights and practical experience of running dynamic influencer campaigns. Therefore,accurately measuring the return on investment (ROI) for influencer marketing campaigns was another major challenge. Determining the direct impact of influencer activities on sales, brand awareness, and customer engagement required sophisticated tracking and analytics tools to provide clear and actionable insights. As Porter’s growth manager shared with us, " Due to lack of insight about ROI,we were not confident about the impact we had earlier,before collaborating with Mezink.
