We all look for health and wellness information online and influencers are at the forefront of delivering some of the most prominent lifestyle information. Credible information has the power to influence the consumer’s decision-making process and drive positive uptake when it comes to choosing a wellness product or service to opt into.
The impact of misinformation can be unthinkable, none more so than that concerning our health and wellbeing.
The current lack of industry-specific legislation has meant that consumers and other stakeholders have been active players in holding wellness brands and ambassadors accountable. While influencers operating within the wellness industry have a legitimate right to promote products, services and provide lifestyle information to consumers, there needs to be a balance between the needs of industry partners, professionals and the rights of consumers to have credible information.
That is where ROHWI comes into play.
We are the first and only independent register for the Health & Wellness Influencers worldwide, recognising the qualifications and expertise of influencers and bloggers within the wellness industry as well as setting standards for those on the register to adhere to.
