Marketing - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / Presentation of blogging service
Italian term or phrase: influenzare cose molto personali
This presentation has described the benefits of a blogging service, and now, under an English title of "travel influencer", it has just described how respect and loyalty from users can gain respect and loyalty...

"Questo mix perfetto fa si che una storia sia attesa, ascoltata e condivisa. La massima espressione finale è proprio quella di riuscire a influenzare cose molto personali come possono essere un viaggio, l’acquisto di un prodotto o la scelta di un ristorante."

I have been using "persuade" where "influenzare" has occured as it looked odd, and I may also change this title to persuade. I really am having trouble with this little phrase, could it just need restructuring?

influence highly personal choices
Explanation:
I wouldn't use persuade instead of influence - influencer is the actual name of a role that bloggers nowadays perform, literally influencing their followers.
I would go for something more like, "the ultimate goal is that of being able to influence highly personal choices such as travelling, purchasing a product, or choosing a restaurant".

influencing very personal things


Explanation:
I think a literal translation works perfectly well, and I don't see how "persuade" would fit this context.
