    I wish there was a place for screenshots. They sent us "influencers" with 0 followers, 0 posts, with animal pictures for a jewelry brand.

    We selected Grin because of its much larger influencer base. That being said, changes to Meta soon after we onboarded have made that pool much smaller.

    We have used both Everflow and ShareASale to manage influencer partnerships.

    We selected GRIN over the other competitors we vetted because of the advanced Shopify integration and the ease of use.

    GRIN has been the most user-friendly influencer management software I have come across benefitting both the brand and the partner we onboard. The content tracking has been more accurate, the Shopify integration has been a HUGE win as well. No other platform I've come across has …

    I was looking around at Dovetale, which connected with Shopify, and although it may be an easy connection because it's within the Shopify website, it isn't as user-friendly. It also doesn't offer the same hands-on experience from the GRIN team, 24/7 customer support, or …

    Although I have not used any other platforms that are direct competitors of Grin I have chosen to use Grin and not try other ones based almost solely on the level of customer support and overall knowledge of my customer success manager.

    It's the easiest platform to use and I've used 3 others, ultimately canceling all and going with GRIN exclusively.

    GRIN is much more advanced and has way more capabilities! With Refersion, I would have to have a CSM pull a report vs. with GRIN I can pull any report myself.

    Previously, I used an in-house platform for campaign management that my agency had created. It was honestly very good but not available for use by other brands besides the agency. GRIN is the closest platform I've found to my previous agency's platform.

    Not applicable because GRIN is the first platform I've used for Influencer Marketing. Previously, I was only using Excel sheets and emailing through Outlook for influencer marketing. I'm glad to be able to use GRIN to scale our influencer platform and it has saved a lot of time …

    The Impact didn't have a custom application form/fields which was a big deal for us. Refersion is great for a smaller affiliate program, but not for the growth that we needed

    We looked at Tribe Dynamics, which was cool but SUPER expensive. We also looked at Cohley, which had more of the influencers that wanted to play with just anyone. This is not what we want. We're seeking a more organic relationship.

    We've been very happy with the Grin experience as it lets us invest in own our influencer relationships. We can always tap outside agencies for quick support and additional amplifications within their community, but our North Star is to create the best authentic 1-1 …

    Grin has the ability to send products through the platform and links directly to Shopify - this is why I picked it. My influencers can submit requests for products directly in the platform and I can fulfill the requests through Shopify in the platform.

    I've used AspireIQ and Mavrck before - AspireIQ doesn't connect to email and has a limited number of influencers to work with. GRIN can source anyone on the internet vs. AspireIQ which influencers have to sign up to be a part of. Mavrck is most similar to Grin, but it is much …

    We looked at:
    FOHR as well as many other small and new platforms and GRIN by far was more advanced, user friendly, and easier to implement. GRIN was not just good for the short term, but I know will continue to support me and my team for the duration of our program.

    Brandbassador is the only platform our previous manager was using. I did not have the opportunity to use it but from what I have been told by my associates is that this has better functionality and easier ability to communicate with the team.
