Our product sells well in Tier 2 cities — Indore, Surat, Jaipur, Lucknow. How do we find and work with creators from these markets? Is the strategy different?

Tier 2/3 influencer marketing strategy — how it differs: Finding creators: Instagram hashtag searches in local languages (#IndoreFood, #JaipurFashion, #SuratShopping). Most Tier 2 creators aren't on influencer platforms — direct Instagram DM works best. Rates: 30–50% lower than metro creators at similar follower counts. A Tier 2 creator with 50k followers might charge ₹4,000–₹6,000 vs ₹8,000–₹12,000 in Mumbai/Delhi. Language: regional language or Hindi content converts significantly better than English for Tier 2 audiences. Content style: more direct, less aspirational, community-oriented. What works: local store visits, regional food integration, family-focused content. Trust factor: Tier 2 audiences have very high trust in local creators they feel know their city and lifestyle.
