The Challenge
Pinwheel Crafts, known for their fun and creative crafting kits for all ages, wanted to make influencer marketing easier and more affordable. Manually finding influencers who matched their brand values was taking too much time and money. Many creators charged fees far beyond their budget, making it tough to see a real return on investment.
That’s when they found Social Cat. The platform simplified the process, connecting them with cost-effective micro-influencers who fit their audience perfectly. As the team put it:
"Social Cat made influencer marketing so much easier for us. It kept us on budget while finding creators who genuinely aligned with our brand."
The goal? Build authentic collaborations, gather user-generated content (UGC), and grow their brand without burning through resources.
The Solution
Pinwheel Crafts kicked off an ongoing campaign with Social Cat that’s been running for several months. Using the platform, they connected with micro-influencers who genuinely loved their crafting kits. These influencers created high-quality UGC, showing off the kits in action—perfect for Pinwheel's audience.
Their focus was clear: build a library of relatable, engaging content, increase brand awareness, and drive conversions—all while sticking to their budget. With Social Cat’s help, they secured authentic product reviews and impactful UGC to fuel their marketing.
The Results
Since starting their campaign, Pinwheel Crafts has worked with hundreds of influencers, building a rich collection of UGC for their marketing channels. Although formal tracking of metrics like reach or conversions hasn’t started, the brand sees immense value in the authentic content they’ve gained.
Some posts have stood out with strong engagement, and Pinwheel Crafts is planning to dive deeper into measuring results in the future.
"The UGC we’ve received through Social Cat is such a game-changer. It’s authentic, relatable, and helps us connect with our audience in a meaningful way."
