In light of the iOS 14 update, constant creative & organic channels will be key components in overall marketing strategies to combat the challenges that await e-commerce brands in this upcoming season.
INFLUENCER seeding kills these 2 birds with 1 stone (THREAD)
2/ Let's just dive right in to how you can tactically do this.
Begin by identifying and reaching out to 500 influencers with "no strings attached messaging".
See template influencer outreach message at the bottom of this thread...
3/ From these 500 reach outs, you'll see a minimum of 100 influencers (20%) to opt-in to receive your product/service.
4/ From these 100 influencers you'll see a minimum of 30 influencers (30%) end up posting on average 2-3 pieces of media each.
5/ So what do you get out of this influencer seeding strategy?
A.) An incredibly effective organic channel spearheaded by influencers.
B.) Mass amounts of IGC (Influencer Generated Content) to repurpose as FB & IG Ads.
Each of these "birds" will be key amidst the iOS14 update.
6/ Organically speaking, you'll have 30 influencers posting 60-90 unique assets on behalf of your brand across social media platforms.
7/ Creative wise, you'll be getting 60-90 UNIQUE assets produced by professional content creators to repurpose into Facebook Ads.
8/ Not to mention, you'd be able to get all of this for the cost on the COGS you have on sending out 100 products.

**This may stir the pot a little**
2/ Let me propose a second question to you:
How much do you think it would cost for organic social posts from 30-50 influencers with 10K-100K followers?
3/ I think we can ALL agree that whether you went through an influencer agency, that represented talent, or directly to 30-50 influencers asking to pay them for posts, you’d AT LEAST be forking up $15,000.

2/ Product seeded 100+ influencers before ramping up any marketing spend (I.e. FB & IG Ads).
3/ A note worth mentioning:
When product seeding, our team doesn’t contract influencers or ask them to post in exchange for product, we look to build genuine relationships with them.
