How to launch a silk pillowcase influencer campaign
I launch a silk pillowcase influencer campaign by writing who it is for, then scrolling as that person on a fresh account, then emailing, then calling. Then I lock a Minimum View Guarantee and send a contract while the yes is still warm. Just that sequence.
The person: US English, 22-36, already bounced off a ‘silk’ polyester case and a cotton case that wrecked a blowout, watches ‘this is polyester’ and morning-frizz videos in a rumpled bed, no medical claims. The listing said silk and my blowout still died, and the fabric pills. They already tried a polyester ‘silk’, cotton that wrecked a blowout, and a cheap Amazon pair.
If you want the product that does the scrolling as a job, that lives on jumptrend.co/for/silk-pillowcases. Scout is $1,500/month. The general campaigns page is jumptrend.co/campaigns.
Write the brief before you hunt faces
Once you start scrolling without a sentence, you will save whoever looks famous. That is how you get a list you cannot use.
Write the person who would buy this SKU. The listing said silk and my blowout still died, and the fabric pills. What they watch: fake-silk, morning-frizz, wrecked-blowout, ‘the listing lied’. Adjacent: morning frizz, fake-silk, not derm claims. Reject: the 1M hair-guru whose pillowcase is a 12-product morning stack. Do not ask them to claim it grew hair or cured skin. Ask them to sleep on it and show the fabric.
Steal the shape at jumptrend.co/brief. A live mulberry case in stock, fiber named on the page. If screenshot-one does not show the mechanic, stop. Creators cannot fix packaging.
Scroll as the customer
Then I open a fresh Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube account if I’m marketing something like a live mulberry case in two colors, or a pair that is in stock in standard. I try to put myself in their shoes and linger, save, like, and comment as if I were them. Once the algorithm is trained, I take whoever keeps showing up.
The example I want: someone rubbing a ‘silk’ case that pills like polyester. Signal: the same morning-frizz face two wakeups.
Ideally over 50k average. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink.
Like a 12-product hair stack and you will leave the rumpled-bed people. Scout is $1,500/month for the list.
Email, then call
I prefer email. The contact is usually in a small morning-hair bio, not a 12-product storefront. Subject line: Paid Promo? then product x creator name. Line one names a real video. Then who I am, what a live mulberry case in two colors, or a pair that is in stock in standard does in one sentence, and that this is a paid promo. Then I ask for the phone number.
Just send that. Do not attach a PDF. Don’t start the deal over email. Hair gurus quote stack rates. On a call I can explain a better structure. Over email you just get the first number.
Once they send a number, I call immediately. If they won’t give a phone number, move on. If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from.
Minimum View Guarantee
Pay $X for N posts with a minimum view guarantee of Y. An example that is easy to hold: $2000 / 4 posts / 1M views. Balance those three so you hit your CPM.
I still measure Shop or site codes on a live size/color separately. Views are not UA. Unique codes, not a hair-growth claim.
Contract while the yes is still fresh
Once a verbal deal is made, send the contract while the topic is still in their head. The case on a slept-in pillow. Sleep on it, show the fiber, drop the code. No outcomes.
Dealmaker is $5,000/month for paperwork you approve before it goes out. You remain the party who pays talent. Creator fees extra. No demo. No download guarantee.
