Nano-Influencer Seeding for CPG
The Opportunity
A gifting and seeding workflow built for food/snack brands to drive early awareness. Find, vet, and contact nano-influencers; auto-create $0 gift orders, assign unique codes/UTMs, and track UGC and ROI.
"New snack box stores need cost-effective awareness and first sales but lack an efficient, compliant workflow to seed products to micro-creators and measure results."

Curate niche creator lists, templatize outreach, automate draft gift orders and shipping, manage deliverables/rights, and attribute sales via codes/links with dashboards for content and revenue.
Target Audience
Early-stage CPG/snack box brands and DTC merchants seeking first traction via creator seeding.
Competitive Landscape
Shopify Collabs, UpPromote, GRIN, Refersion, Afluencer
Implementation Notes
Integrate with Shopify to create $0 draft orders and discount codes per creator; sync shipping via Shippo/Easyship; track clicks and sales via UTM and coupon attribution; manage outreach via email API with templates and consent; store UGC rights/agreements; optional Collabs integration for application intake; build dashboards for content status and revenue. Start with manual creator imports, then add discovery via opt-in marketplace to avoid platform TOS issues.
