Tagger is a 360 Influencer Marketing solution platform from the company of the same name in Santa Monica, designed to allow brands, agencies, and media companies to maximize their influencer strategies throughout the planning, discovery, activation, and reporting phases.
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.
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.
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.
Out of the other influencer management/SaaS platforms I've used, Tagger is my favorite. I trust the numbers I see and use within Tagger, whereas other platforms I'm a bit more cautious of that are scraping data. I also have to say that Tagger's customer support is fantastic, my …
GRIN is the perfect way to manage your brand's advocates. Everything from the application process through the completion of the partnership can be handled on this platform. Additionally, our company just started utilizing the payment feature, which has streamlined our process for paying advocates.
I might want to find in Tagger a similar report where they show the after-effects of a few or other influencers when the relegated errands are done, this could help us in further developing dynamically for our publicizing efforts doubtlessly getting a considerably more exact outcome.
Creator search tool - doesn't bring up viable creator options, which means we do primarily off-platform seeding.
The landing page is clunky and not functional for reviewing creators - it adds a lot of time to my team's day looking through the creators with the way it's set up.
Email templates have funny formatting, and the typeface always seems to get messed up.
Although it relates very well with most social networks we wish they could soon include TikTok in the tool, one of the fastest growing in recent times and where we could find many more influencers with different skills that fit the needs of our consumers.
I would like to see in Tagger Media a comparative report where they show the results of some or other influencers when the assigned tasks are finished, this could help us in improving decision making for our advertising campaigns surely getting a much more accurate result.
It would be interesting to see the information of the tasks of the influencers we hire in real time, i.e., if we contact 5 influencers, we could see a real-time flowchart with the current status of their tasks and thus be able to keep a better relationship of time and performance in our projects.
I wouldn't be able to run as high of a profitable or functioning influencer program without it. GRIN seriously is the organizational tool that propels us towards success, it is not in any way going to do the work for you, but it does make the work more efficient, easier, and WAY more organized
Once you have used Grin for a while it is super fast and super easy. The initial set up was a little clunky for me, but after I was familiar it was super easy to use, especially after I was more familiar with all the features
We have been happy with the support that has been provided from Grin. They have allocated to us a dedicated customer success manager and we communicate with them consistently about different features and strategies we should be monitoring and testing. We also did a webinar in partnership with them as a visual testimonial they could use to show to prospective customers.
I don't have any key insights here. If you have someone organized and aware of how the influencer workflow operates then it will be a very easy implementation process for you. I would just ensure you have all of your products setup in Shopify before starting the implementation with Grin.
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 bi-weekly calls with your direct contact. It just doesn't feel like it's worth it to me for the "convenience."
Out of the other influencer management/SaaS platforms I've used, Tagger is my favorite. I trust the numbers I see and use within Tagger, whereas other platforms I'm a bit more cautious of that are scraping data. I also have to say that Tagger's customer support is fantastic, my representative is always friendly, patient, and responsive, providing thorough answers to any question we send her way. Additionally, there is a live chat feature within the platform that is also easy to use and someone always responds fairly quickly, whereas other services I've used have taken days to get a response to a simple question.
With the program, the executives and results estimation Tagger can send important data of potential influencers that can be of extraordinary assistance to us.
