Seeding, or product gifting, involves distributing products to influencers in exchange for organic content creation. The goal is to encourage influencers to authentically showcase the product, building trust with their followers. However, the process can be fraught with challenges such as identifying the right influencers, securing opt-ins, and managing the logistical complexity of gifting campaigns.
Manual and Time-Consuming Processes:
Brands often rely on agencies or internal teams to manually build influencer lists, send outreach emails, and track responses—taking up valuable resources and time.
Low Opt-In Rates:
Influencers often ignore outreach due to impersonal communication or irrelevant offers.
Duplicate and Inefficient Influencer Lists:
Agencies and tools often provide lists with duplicates, leading to wasted efforts.
Limited Reporting and Tracking:
Tracking who has opted in, who has received gifts, and which campaigns perform best is often fragmented across multiple tools.
At WeArisma, we’ve tailored our platform to address these pain points, enabling brands to streamline workflows and maximize ROI from their seeding campaigns.
