Is your next goal to collaborate with a brand but you aren’t sure how?
First is to determine brands that align with your business and brand. You want to make sure that it feels natural to work with them. What brands do you love? What brands do you actually use yourself? These are the brands you should be looking to collaborate with.
I look at collaborations and partnerships as personal recommendations to your community. You want to make sure their product or service is something you stand behind and would recommend to a loved one.
Then start connecting with the brands. Show them support by liking their content. Respond to their stories or post comments to their posts. Send them a DM and share feedback or ideas you have like stores they should add to their stockist list. And use their product or service and talk about it with your community. This will warm them up to the collaboration and it will be more natural when you do collaborate.
In this episode, I am joined by the lovely Founder of Lavender & Grace who has had several collaborations with influencers. She shares her experience and her advice on what she looks for when choosing influencers to collaborate with, how size of community doesn’t quite matter as much as other things and how best to continue to nurture the relationship following the collaboration.
We also take a deep dive into her own personal journey creating her business and jewelry collection and the key learnings she has had throughout the past 5 years.
