First claw clips campaign checklist
A first claw clips campaign at founder scale. Numbered so you can stop lying to yourself about which step you skipped.
- Confirm a live clip size in stock actually closes. Creators cannot fix packaging.
- Write the avatar in a sentence: US English, 18-30, already bounced off a claw that snaps and a cheap pack that slips by lunch, watches ‘this clip snapped in my bag’ and gym-to-shift hair videos in a car visor.
- Write the problem in their mouth: It was cute in the pack and it was two pieces in my bag.
- Write what they already quit: a clip that snapped in a bag, a cheap pack that slips, and a scrunchie they went back to.
- Write what they watch: snapped-clip, slips-by-lunch, gym-to-shift, ‘the cute one does not hold thick hair’.
- Write the reject: the 1M hair-tool GRWM who will bury a $12 clip.
- Write adjacent so the phone does not smear: gym-to-shift, thick-hair fail, not salon tutorials.
- Put that sentence into the brief
- Scroll as them on a fresh Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube account. Example to look for: someone holding two halves of a clip over a car visor. Signal: the same visor-snap face two commutes.
- Keep a 50k average-view floor. Below that, $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
- Skip #clawclip as a roster method.
- Email. The contact is usually in a small thick-hair bio. Name a real video. Ask for the phone number.
- If they won’t give a number, move on. Hair GRWM accounts quote tool-haul rates.
- On the call, Minimum View Guarantee. Example: $2000 / 4 posts / 1M views. Talent extra.
- Send the contract while the yes is still warm. Scout $1,500 / Outreach $2,500 / Dealmaker $5,000.
- The clip in thick hair on a real commute.
- Tell them what to film: put it in thick hair, go to a shift, show it still there, drop the code. Do not ask for a 10-clip haul. Ask them to wear it gym-to-shift.
- Give each creator their own code. Unique codes, not a 10-clip haul.
- Do not run a launch day on the same morning if you wanted isolation.
- Two follow-ups, then stop. If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from.
Doing the scroll by hand is kind of soul-crushing. Like a salon tutorial and you will leave the visor people. No demo. No download guarantee. You approve every creator and every rate.
Snapped-clip rants already have the audience; a live size that holds thick hair to a shift is the demo.
