Creators are creative — and there's nothing that catches their attention better than a campaign brief that has a snazzy title and an interesting concept. When creating your Open Applications campaign, don't be afraid to have some fun with your campaign title! Be sure to also include high-quality images that showcase your brand and product from different angles. It's also best practice to propose an attractive price for the collaboration. Make full use of tiered pricing available in Open Applications campaigns, where clients can set different starting prices by creator tiers. When creators of different follower tiers see the Open Applications campaign invite, they will only see the starting rate listed, depending on their tier.
Leverage automatic hard filter 'Creator Location' to ensure only creators from the countries you want to run your campaigns in can apply. You can enter as many countries as you want to include. There is also an optional hard filter, 'Miminum Follower Count' – check this only if you want to filter out creators who have less than a certain number of followers. Using the filters available on Open Applications helps narrow down the applicant pool, making it easier for you to surface and review
Screening questions are optional, but filling in this step allows you to set questions to learn more about a creator's location or experience doing paid partnerships. This is an effective way to find creators who match your campaign needs. For example, if you wish to narrow down to creators who have used your product before, you can do so by indicating this in the screening question.
