First refillable cleaning brands campaign checklist
A first refillable cleaning brands campaign at founder scale. Numbered so you can stop lying to yourself about which step you skipped.
- Confirm the client’s live refill in stock, not just the pretty bottle actually closes. Creators cannot fix packaging.
- Write the avatar in a sentence: the client’s customer is US English, 25-40, already bounced off a cute cleaner that ran out of refills and a grocery gallon they are tired of, watches ‘the cute bottle has no refill’ and under-sink-plastic videos on a Sunday clean.
- Write the problem in their mouth: I bought the pretty bottle and now I am back on the gallon because they do not sell the pouch.
- Write what they already quit: a cute bottle whose brand ghosted refills, grocery gallons, and tablets that did not dissolve.
- Write what they watch: no-refill-rage, under-sink-plastic, ‘cute bottle abandoned me’, Sunday-clean restocks.
- Write the reject: the 700k clean-with-me whose whole video is product placement.
- Write adjacent so the phone does not smear: under-sink plastic, refill ghosting, not ASMR clean-with-me hauls.
- Put that sentence into the brief
- Scroll as them on a fresh Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube account. Example to look for: someone holding a pretty bottle and a grocery gallon because the refill never restocked. Signal: the same Sunday-clean face two weeks.
- Keep a 50k average-view floor. Below that, $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
- Skip #cleantok as a roster method.
- Email. The contact is usually in a small apartment-clean bio, not a 20-brand Linktree. Name a real video. Ask for the phone number.
- If they won’t give a number, move on. Clean-with-me accounts quote household-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 pouch and the bottle on the Sunday clean.
- Tell them what to film: refill the bottle from the live pouch, drop the code. Show the under-sink after. Do not ask for a 20-product clean-with-me. Ask them to refill the bottle from the live pouch.
- Give each creator their own code. Unique codes, not an ASMR mop clip.
- 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 20-SKU clean-with-me and you will bury the client’s pouch. No demo. No download guarantee. You approve every creator and every rate.
No-refill rants already have the audience; a live pouch is the only proof that matters.
