West Elm’s new approach to an ambassador program and influencer marketing  

Product promotion is a fundamental factor for brand growth, and West Elm’s new strategy might be one of the best ones out there.

There are unlimited ways for a brand to exercise creativity while bringing awareness to their product, and one common technique to drive revenue is through influencers.

West Elm has taken a new approach to this by creating an ambassador program where anyone can apply to be an influencer, and if approved, each individual can create their own store front. 

This approach not only personalizes the brand, but also attracts a wider audience that may have a preference for one influencer’s collection over another’s. 

Stay tuned as we dive deeper into West Elm’s innovative marketing strategy and how this technique can be used to drive traffic .
