From the recent survey of our influencers, a current theme appeared in regard to campaign availability on the app.
The influencers felt like there were no live campaigns available which may have discouraged them from using the app. We have listened to our influencers feedback and have been working hard on the app to create a new function to solve this issue.
Apply First is a new process for campaigns. Influencers are now able to apply for campaigns instead of receiving offers, they can request to participate in a campaign. This process will eliminate ‘first come first served’ and reinforce a fairer system for influencers. This new process will mean more campaign activity in the app for influencers and greater transparency.
How does it work?
- Influencers will see campaigns that are live on the app which have the Apply First function
- Campaign managers will set a duration for influencers to request their participation into a campaign, minimum open for 24 hours
- Campaign managers will receive the list of applied influencers and select those they wish to have for the campaign which fit the client and brief requirements
- Influencers will receive a push notification informing them that their Apply First request has been approved to take part in the campaign. Influencers who are not accepted on the campaign will also receive a notification letting them know they have not been successful for the campaign
- The influencers will then follow the normal procedure for campaigns
