Influencer Pricing Report – 2021

When considering diving into the world of influencer marketing, the biggest questions that plague brands often surround the payment of fees.

How much can you expect to pay? What will you get in return?

For the past two years, we’ve received hundreds of proposals from a variety of influencers around the globe to participate in tourism campaigns that involve travel. And so we’ve done what any good spreadsheet-nerds would do, we dove deep into the data to help you – the tourism professional – set your budgets and prepare for negotiations.

In this ebook, you will learn:

  • The ratio of influencers that travel for no fee, and why they do so.
  • The average rates for creators based on their platform of strength (Instagram, Blog, YouTube, or other).
  • Those same rates are also broken down by geographic region (Canada, USA, UK/Europe, and International), and by follower counts.
  • A projection of what this means going forward, when travel marketing resumes in earnest following the easing of pandemic restrictions.
