For brands looking to sell physical products, product seeding, often referred to as influencer gifting, is one of the best ways to do so. It\u2019s an easy and budget-friendly way to improve brand awareness through collaboration with creators and putting your products in front of interested people.
In this article, we\u2019ll take a detailed look at what is product seeding, and how you can use it to grow and scale your brand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Product seeding and influencer gifting refer to the practice of brands gifting their products to a group of select influencers operating for promotional purposes. Often, these gifts are accompanied by custom discount codes they can share with their followers. The idea behind this is to give creators who work in a targeted niche a chance to experience your product. As a result, once they try and like your product, they can share it with their followers, helping you increase awareness and reach in a genuine way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Product seeding can be used in a few different ways, depending on your marketing strategy. As the name suggests, it’ll be part of your influencer marketing strategy. You can choose to add it to your existing influencer cooperations, by forming influencer brand deals, if you have an established influencer marketing strategy and budget.
Alternatively, it can become the beginning of your influencer marketing efforts. If you are just starting your business, you can use influencer gifting to work with starting creators: many nano- and micro-influencers are willing and ready to cooperate with brands in exchange for products.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
