Ask an Influencer: Product vs. Payment -T

Paid campaigns have higher acceptance rates
AspirelQ found that creators are more likely to accept collaboration proposals from brands who offer monetary compensations, in addition to free product. Those with an average engagement of over 5000 per post, usually don’t accept unpaid collaborations. That’s because of high quality content and access to an influencers large, dedicated audience comes at a price.

For example, here is an example of influencer had to say:
“Offering [no payment] and wanting a huge amount of work, shows that they don’t respect you or value your work in my opinion,” says lifestyle influencer @sweetnewyork (286k followers).
But there are some exceptions, that doesn’t mean that the unpaid campaigns are unheard in the industry. In general, brands that are able to run free product only campaigns have one or more of the following:
• A valuable product: gifting influencers a high-value product in exchange for posting.
• Existing relationships with influencers, an ongoing relationship that has the potential to turn into formal affiliation can make your campaign more appealing to influencers.
• So, even if your brand can’t pay influencers now, it’s okay to send them free product in order to build a relationship with them.
• A popular or viral product. Even if your products may not come at a high price, influencers are interested in working with brands that are on trend because their audience has a genuine interest in getting their review.
• A household brand name; If your brand is something influencers can be proud to put on their portfolio, you may be a great candidate to run an unpaid campaign.
• Nonprofit; Appealing to the emotional side of influencers can get you a long way.
