🧠 Step 1: Define Your Campaign Goal

Before setting up your campaign, clarify what success looks like. Ask yourself:

  • Are you trying to drive in-store product discovery?

  • Do you want authentic, high-quality content from real shopping trips?

  • Is your goal to increase awareness at specific retail locations?

Tip: Retail campaigns are ideal for boosting product trial and in-store visibility. Give creators a clear reason to visit and post.


👥 Step 2: Pick the Right Influencers

Use the Location and Follower Count filters to find creators who match your target retail markets. When reviewing profiles, consider:

  • Content quality and style

  • Tone and audience alignment

  • Proximity to retail locations

Pro tip: Run multiple campaigns across nano, micro, and mid-tier creators to see what works best.


🛒 Step 3: Add Retail Locations

Go to the Locations tab and input your retail partners. This lets creators easily find where your product is available and plan their visit.


💸 Step 4: Structure Your Offer

Retail visits take extra effort — think driving, shopping, and filming — so make your compensation worthwhile.

We recommend offering a total value of $100–$200 per creator, which can include:

  • Cash payment

  • Store credit or reimbursement

To simplify: Make your cash offer equal to the total value, and in the description, note that a portion reimburses the creator for their purchase.

Example: “$25 of your $100 cash offer is intended to cover the cost of the product at checkout.”


📝 Step 5: Craft a Clear Campaign Brief

Your brief should tell creators exactly what to do. Include:

  • Messaging focus (e.g., “Try our protein bar at Whole Foods”)

  • Any required tags, talking points, or calls to action

  • Visual guidelines or creative direction

  • Any dos or don’ts


✅ Step 6: Review & Submit

Before launching, double-check:

  • Retailer locations are added

  • Creators are selected

  • Compensation is clear

Once everything looks good, hit Submit. You’ll start receiving responses within 24 hours. If acceptance is low, try increasing compensation or widening your location radius.
