Should I use local influencers for different markets?

I'm exploring strategies to expand my e-commerce brand's reach and wondering about the effectiveness of local influencers in different markets. With rising customer acquisition costs and the need for authentic marketing, I want to understand how leveraging local influencers could help me connect more deeply with regional audiences, increase brand credibility, and potentially drive more targeted traffic to my online store. What are the key considerations and potential benefits of working with local influencers across different geographic markets?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Seasonal campaigns should start 4-6 weeks before the holiday for email and content, 2-3 weeks for paid ads. Black Friday prep should begin in September. Planning campaigns this far ahead gives you time to build creative assets, segment lists, and set up automations without rushing.

Most Shopify stores start seasonal campaigns too late - scrambling to set up email flows the week before a holiday. Early preparation produces better creative, more tested campaigns, and significantly higher revenue.
