Campaign planning details
Direct-to-consumer products
Brief creators on the product use case and buying questions. Confirm stock, offer dates and the landing page before publishing. Track visits and purchases where available, without treating views or endorsements as evidence of sales.
Home and smart-home products
Demonstrate installation, compatibility and everyday use. Identify any professional installation or supplied equipment. Make product limits clear and agree whether the next step is a purchase, consultation or installation enquiry.
Subscription products
Plan content around the first purchase and the experience of later deliveries. Confirm offer terms, renewal information and product availability. Separate new subscriptions from repeat orders and retention when reporting.

CAMPAIGN FAQ.
01What makes an influencer campaign commerce-led?+
The campaign connects creator content to a defined shopping action and a working path to complete it. Awareness can still matter, but it is not the only measure.
02Why can creator traffic fail to produce sales?+
The audience, offer, product page, price, availability or checkout can break the journey. Campaign reporting should review the full path rather than content metrics alone.
03Can creator content support repeat purchase?+
It can explain routines, replenishment or continued use when that role matches the product. Repeat purchase still depends on the wider customer experience.
04How should limited offers be handled?+
State the availability window, locations, exclusions and stock limits clearly. Creator timing and the destination page must match the approved offer.
05Are discount codes required?+
No. Codes can support tracking or an offer, but links, platform shopping features, product pages and store activity may be more suitable for some briefs.
06What makes product demonstration useful?+
A useful demonstration shows how the product fits a real need, gives accurate detail and makes the next action clear without overstating the result.
