1. The Power of Exclusivity and Influencer Hype
Victoria’s Secret is known for inviting top-tier influencers and celebrities to their shows, turning the event into an exclusive spectacle. These influencers, with millions of followers, create an immediate buzz by sharing live content, making their followers feel as though they’re part of something special and luxurious.
How can you replicate this for your brand?
At InMaar, we recommend creating a sense of exclusivity around your product or event by partnering with high-profile influencers and content creators. But it doesn’t stop there. Instead of spreading out mentions over months, consider hosting a focused influencer campaign within a single week.
Here’s how we do it:
- Invite hundreds of influencers to review your product during a short, highly targeted timeframe. This creates a concentrated burst of content, boosting visibility. This is similar to how Victoria’s Secret generates intense interest leading up to, during, and after their show.
- Want to see how we can set this up for you? Check out our case study on influencer reviews and their impact on brand reach.
2. Creating a Viral Moment Through Mass Mentions
The key to viral success, as demonstrated by Victoria’s Secret, is sheer volume. When hundreds of influencers talk about your brand simultaneously, it creates an overwhelming wave of mentions. As a result, even influencers who aren’t directly part of your campaign may start mentioning your product, increasing organic reach. This is what we at InMaar call the snowball effect.
This tactic also plays on FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). When potential customers repeatedly see your brand mentioned by multiple influencers, they’re driven to seek it out and make a purchase. Based on our analysis, 37% of consumers decide to buy a product after seeing it multiple times, even if they didn’t use a discount code.
Here’s how we can replicate this for you:
- Launch a time-sensitive campaign where influencers share discount codes or product reviews. As more people see the product being endorsed by various influencers, interest and curiosity will grow organically.
- Utilize hashtags and coordinated posting to ensure that your product stays top-of-mind across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
This approach is highly effective for driving both direct sales and long-term brand awareness. If you’re interested in setting up a similar campaign, InMaar can help you execute it with precision.
3. Diverse Influencer Partnerships: The Secret to a Wide Funnel
Victoria’s Secret brilliantly incorporates a variety of influencers and fanbases to widen their appeal. From high-fashion models to body-positive advocates, the diversity in their cast and influencers helps the brand resonate with multiple audiences.
For your brand, this means one thing: don’t limit yourself to a narrow niche if your product has broad appeal. By collaborating with influencers from various sectors (fashion, fitness, beauty, lifestyle), you can tap into multiple markets and dramatically expand your reach.
At InMaar, we strongly recommend adopting a multi-niche influencer strategy. Here’s how we approach it:
- Identify influencers from different communities and demographics that align with your brand’s vision.
- Create specific campaigns for each segment, allowing you to appeal to diverse groups without diluting your core message.
This multi-audience approach ensures a larger funnel of potential customers. The wider the funnel, the more conversions you’ll see. Contact us at InMaar to create a campaign that integrates influencers from diverse backgrounds and unlocks your brand’s potential.
4. Stand Out with Creative Themes and Collections
One of the most exciting elements of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024 was the creative themes, such as “Twinkle” and “Atelier Victoria’s Secret.” These visually stunning themes turned the runway into a story-telling experience, making each collection memorable and giving fans something to talk about.
For your brand, think beyond just promoting a product—create a thematic story around it. This could be a seasonal collection, a limited-edition release, or a collaboration with influencers that ties into current trends.
At InMaar, we encourage brands to focus on narrative marketing:
- Develop unique product themes or narratives that can captivate your audience. Just as Victoria’s Secret crafted collections that embodied glamour, fun, and femininity, your brand can create experiences that leave a lasting impression.
- Use influencers to tell the story of your brand, building emotional connections with their followers through creative campaigns.
Our team can help you build a marketing narrative that stands out from the crowd and makes your product a must-have.
5. Collaborate with Trending Artists and Celebrities
The musical performances at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024, featuring legends like Cher and rising stars like Tyla, played a crucial role in elevating the show’s appeal. Music and celebrity endorsements add a layer of emotional engagement that resonates deeply with audiences.
For your brand, collaborating with trending artists, musicians, or celebrity influencers can significantly boost visibility. Whether through special appearances, product launches, or social media takeovers, celebrity endorsements create cultural relevance and boost your brand’s credibility.
Here at InMaar, we specialize in:
- Identifying the right celebrity partnerships for your brand. Whether you’re targeting the Gen Z demographic or luxury shoppers, we can find the perfect match to elevate your brand’s profile.
- Managing collaborations that feel authentic and resonate with your audience. These partnerships can create lasting impressions, much like the celebrity performances at Victoria’s Secret.

6. Maximize Impact with Promo Codes and Affiliate Links
While brand visibility is critical, promo codes and affiliate links offer a direct way to track conversions and boost sales. Many buyers are enticed to purchase when they see a discount or exclusive deal from their favorite influencer. Victoria’s Secret utilizes this tactic by providing unique discount codes during their campaigns, driving sales while measuring the effectiveness of each influencer.
For your brand, we recommend:
- Creating personalized promo codes for each influencer to track which ones are driving the most traffic and conversions.
- Using affiliate links to further incentivize influencers to promote your products.
At InMaar, we help brands craft effective influencer marketing campaigns that balance visibility with sales. Our detailed tracking and reporting allow you to see exactly how well each influencer performs, ensuring maximum ROI.
