@AndreaD707 We’ve been busy focusing on other projects. We should have a new vlog out next week though! 😃

@KristenAsAMom What's happening with YouTube? Have really missed updates from you guys! Hope you are all okay Xx

I’m officially old.. all I want to do tonight is drink wine and clean house. #momlife

@WhosYourAnnie @tabbiburwell @tourismchat Definite yes for products. Nano influencers tend to have a stronger relationship with their audience!

@KristenAsAMom @tabbiburwell @tourismchat I read that nano-influencers are pretty hot, for products at least. #tourismchat nyti.ms/31KUDtv

@tourismchat @tabbiburwell Thanks for hosting! #tourismchat

@tourismchat #tourismchat Q4 - I want to share epic experiences with my audience and have unique facts to provide them. I I love getting background information before I go somewhere so I can be knowledgeable when filming.

@tabbiburwell @WhosYourAnnie @tourismchat Definitely not worth paying someone to come in. I guess I’m thinking more of local people with smaller followings. #tourismchat

@WhosYourAnnie @KristenAsAMom @tourismchat I get where you guys are going but if it doesn't come back to wanting to visit my city, it's not a good investment on our part. #tourismchat

@tabbiburwell @LtGovPinnell @tourismchat @VisitOKC 👋🏻

@LtGovPinnell @tourismchat @VisitOKC You're the best, @LtGovPinnell! Thanks for joining #tourismchat

@tabbiburwell @drugstoredivas @tourismchat In that case it’s more about awareness. Next time they’re driving through Oklahoma they might remember OKC from that post their favorite beauty person did. It’s on the influencer to make sure it’s memorable though.

@drugstoredivas @KristenAsAMom @tourismchat but if their audience isn't responding to travel, why would I invest? #tourismchat

@drugstoredivas @tabbiburwell @tourismchat #tourismchat i’m with you there. Done the right way by the influencer anything is possible.

@tabbiburwell @KristenAsAMom @tourismchat But a beauty influencer could post about local salons to get manicures at, shops to find cute outfits, where to get the best shoes for an impromptu hike. Just because the content isn't 100% travel focused don't mean it can't benefit a city and it's economy. #tourismchat

@tabbiburwell @AngieAway @tourismchat #tourismchat social blade is a great free resource!

@AngieAway @tourismchat Taking notes on social blade... #tourismchat

@tabbiburwell @tourismchat Fair point.

@KristenAsAMom @tourismchat To that, I don't want to host an beauty influencer for a trip if they've done similar campaigns and all of the comments are about their outfit and not the city. I'm reaching the wrong audience at that point. #tourismchat

@WhosYourAnnie @tourismchat A3- it definitely seems easier to track products over destination awareness!

@tourismchat #tourismchat A3 (part 1): I manage influencer programs for products, so we give them a unique URL and track orders. Easy to figure out monetization and ROI. Grin’s software will give you engagement rates and other metrics, but it’s more than $600/mo.

@tourismchat *and, not in 🤦🏻‍♀️ #voicetotextfail #tourismchat

@tourismchat A3- influencer perspective - engagement in the ratio of the following/followers can tell you a lot about an influencer. #tourismchat

@tabbiburwell @TourismCurrents @amandasOKblog @LilFamAdventure @ConsumerQueen @AnaSandee I feel like it’s a lot easier for locals to make it to events as well. (And cheaper) #tourismchat

@TourismCurrents Some of our locals are the best advocates for us! We host them once, they continue to love us forever. @amandasOKblog, @LilFamAdventure, @ConsumerQueen, @AnaSandee... I could go on and on. #tourismchat

@WhosYourAnnie @tourismchat A1- as an influencer there are SO MANY sites to sign up for. It’s great to hear which ones cities and brands are using. 👍🏻 #tourismchat

@tourismchat A1: I use Grin to find, track conversations, pay, etc. It’s a little $$$ but makes everything so easy. #tourismchat

@tabbiburwell I agree. It’s all about awareness, not getting people there next week. #tourismchat

A2: Most definitely! No matter what, they are advocates once they leave. And while we may not see the ROI immediately, it’s still awareness of our city and that’s a huge win from a PR standpoint. #tourismchat

@tourismchat Excellent! Thank you!

@AngieAway A1- As an influencer I try to add location tags to our videos/posts and have an email in the description/bio in case anyone local wants to contact me. #tourismchat

A1: I've met most of the influencers I've hired on behalf of clients at conferences; some have been from group trips but I don't do those as much. Facebook groups are great for lurking and checking potential partners out on the sly! #TourismChat

@tourismchat @tabbiburwell @VisitOKC 👋🏻 I’m a YouTube influencer (LiveEachDay) and my favorite ice cream is chocolate. Always chocolate. #tourismchat

What do they do INSIDE the Met Gala???
