Malaysia has the fitth most active social media penetration in the world—with over 86% of the population of approximately 28 million users. Meanwhile, a recent retail study indicated as many as 22 million Malaysians as being digital customers, and online channels now play a four times greater role than conventional channels when it comes to consumer purchases. All of this has contributed to a rising eCommerce market in Malaysia that is valued at approximately RM11 billion.
On top of this, a survey by Rakuten Insight showed that 59% of Malaysian respondents stated that they had purchased an item or product because it had been endorsed by an influencer. The same survey found that the majority of Malaysian respondents followed at least one influencer on social media.
Eddie Lim, CEO at and Founder of KOLHUB, believes that these figures are promising for businesses but a key challenge still lies ahead of them. This is a challenge that he believes can be hurdled by the introduction of KOLHUB—Malaysia’s first 100% Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered influencer and affiliate marketing platform.
“These statistics make it clear that there is huge potential in the digital space for businesses to grow their revenue. Not only that but social media and more precisely influencers are a key gateway into building brand awareness and converting that awareness into sales,” said Lim. “It is thus natural that businesses want to tap into this opportunity, but the trouble is it is much easier said than done. The challenge here is how to discover and engage with the influencers that are right for your brand – this is where KOLHUB comes into play.”
KOLHUB is acutely aware that the sheer number of influencers in the market. Their diverse personalities, content styles and the demographics of their following can prove to be huge stumbling blocks for businesses.
The brand believes that finding the right influencer to match a business or product is one of the most important steps any business can take in a social media marketing campaign. “Influencers act as an amplifier of your story. Choose the right one and your story gets told in the best ways to the right audiences for maximum impact. Choose the wrong one and you could end up throwing away vital investments on an effort that falls on deaf ears,” Lim added.
