When top Hollywood celebrity Tom Cruise wore a pair of 1952 Ray-Ban 'Wayfarers' in the blockbuster, Risky Business, he took annual sales of Wayfarers from 18,000 to a staggering 260,000 in 1983. Another Tom Cruise hit-film, Top Gun, had the same impact for Ray-Ban Aviators. Ray-Bans are now the best selling sunglases in the world.
From 2000, Jamie Oliver was the public face of the Sainsbury's supermarket chain in the UK, appearing on television and radio advertisements and in-store promotional material.

Klout Score is a normalized ranking based on:True Reach: The people who regularly pay attention to what you say.Amplification Probability: How far (and often) your content spreads.Network Influence: The influence of your engaged network.PeerIndex Score has a fundamentally different approach. Rather than calculating a global score first, it defines topics and then calculates an Authority Score in that topic. The rationale behind this is sound: that experts in one topic are not necessarily experts in another.The PeerIndex Score is a normalized ranking based on:Authority: Quality of the links you share and content you recommend.Activity: How active you are in a topic based on relevance.Audience: Number of people you can reach after discounting spam/gamed/inactive accountsThe key difference between the two approaches is:PeerIndex also analyzes quality of content you share, rather than just monitoring Twitter activity.
Relevance is Everything because scoring is not always the full pictureJessica and Shannon Marrero don’t even have twitter accts so by Klout & PeerIndex standards, they don’t even have a scoreAlso, to increase your score you MUST be relevant in your topicBrands also comb social networks looking for the authorities, congruent and consistent content creates authority.

Klout allows you to find influencers based on topic or hashtag. Do you know the value of your customers? Historically lifetime value has been measured based on purchases, but with Klout you can understand their network value. People trust recommendation more than advertisements; Klout allows business to tap into that power.Your Business should:Know who your most influential customers are (and communicate with them)Find out who's influential in your industry/areaDiscover who's talking about your brand and how much reach they haveMaximize your own influence and drive positive conversations about your brand
