The Challenge

CLCKR had difficulties getting the user-generated content necessary for their marketing channels. Initially, they turned to influencer agencies to partner up, but the monthly costs were too high for a small brand looking to grow.

Besides the agency's monthly costs, the influencers required to work with were looking for paid collaborations in general and extra fees for content licensing.

Another solution they were looking to explore was photoshoots, but from their experience working with other brands, they know that potential customers are looking for organic, raw, and real-life content instead of studio-edited content with their products.

The Solution

CLCKR turned to Social Cat after discovering it on Instagram ad to create a pipeline micro-influencers that can create authentic content.

Working with Social Cat, CLCKR worked with a few dozens of micro-influencers interested in gifted campaigns exclusively. The Social Cat pricing was way more attractive than their previous options; plus, with Social Cat, they could use the UGC obtained on their marketing channels at no extra cost.

Besides getting the necessary UGC, CLCKR could also cut down on time to find the right influencers for their brand. The Social Cat matchmaking system delivered the right micro-influencers for their campaigns directly in their Inbox weekly.

Comparison with other platforms

It's important to notice, Social Cat is the only platform that helps brand find micro influencers that are happy to work on gifted collaborations. All other platforms are focused on paid influencers.

In comparison, if CLCKR decided to partner up with paid micro-influencers (5k - 50k), the minimum influencer fee for one single campaign would be $100 (according to Influencer Marketing Hub). To this, we add the costs of the products plus the platform used to discover the mid-tier influencers and the price for content usage rights. The minimum charge for content usage rights when working with micro-influencers is a minimum of $50.

Social Cat is by far the most affordable platforms on the market. Most other platforms use obscure pricing and it usually starts at a minimum of $300 per month. The cheapest plan at Social Cat is $49. Here's the pricing for some of the other platforms out there (for working with 57 influencers):
