GRIN Influencer Marketing

I have been a GRIN user for 4 years now and I love it! The features are unmatchable to other platforms. I love how I can easily manage each creator and each campaign and activation. I use the email sequences quite a bit and find that it's so much easier to track then sending mass emails and having to worry about follow ups. The content and UGC that we have from our partners lives in GRIN and is easily downloadable and we use this in other departments from email marketing, ecomm and social media! I am a big data and numbers person, so the analytics are great to pull from an hour, to a day, to a month to a specific creator. You get your own customer service rep and they are extremely knowledgable and very helpful and quick to respond!
I love the GRIN community as well, I've met so many other amazing partnership managers through the GRIN community. I continue to learn as well from their webinars, podcasts, fireside chats, and articles. They are constantly staying up to date in the influencer marketing space!
Once I signed up and started using GRIN I'll never switch to any other platform!

Having Shopify able to be integrated with Grin has helped scale our product seeding ability and save tons of time.

GRIN is great! It has helped house all of our influencer stuff under one roof. From influencer outreach and gifting, to our affiliate program and paid partnerships, GRIN has made it super easy and convenient to find and organize everything. There are so many capabilities on this platform, some that we probably haven't utilized enough, but I highly recommend GRIN. Their CSM team is also amazing and want you to thrive!

I have used GRIN for nearly 2 years and through my journey with GRIN have always been very vocal about my overall love for not only the software but every experience we've had with GRIN. When we on-boarded GRIN we had a shell of an affiliate program surviving on spreadsheets and a dream. Today (with the help of GRIN), we have scaled to a manageable and successful program. So much of our process was being done manually through spreadsheets, manual orders, and SO SO SO any tiny steps. GRIN takes all of our time-consuming steps and streamlines everything through Shopify which leaves our influencers with a more seamless experience and leaves me with more time to grow our program. If you're on the fence, jump off, and get GRIN!

I am one of those people that read reviews, but never write any :) I am writing one today because I am that impressed with Grin.

To provide some context: my company started with Grin a some time in the past. It was our first creator CRM, so we didn’t know what we didn’t know. And what we really didn’t know is we got spoiled starting with Grin. We thought that there must be other options out there. If you’re reading this, you may be thinking the same thing.

There are. And we used them. It would not be an understatement to say we came crawling back. Grin is that much better than any other Influencer CRM.

In fact, we tried to build our own with Zoho CRM. Started to onboard creators and in weeks we lost track of half our collaborations.

Everything we thought of. They did. Within 24 hours of moving back to Grin, we had found every collaboration that had fallen through the cracks. Reviews units that needed to be shipped. In other words, they saved our program.

Like I first wrote. I never write reviews. But Grin has earned a life long customer!

Grin has been such a crucial key to not only execute our large gifting efforts, but to find new creators to work with. Our Grin rep has been super helpful and responsive in the rare cases we've had any issues. My favorite part is the Shopify integration that allows the creators to place the orders on their end. Love working with it!

They are very good at cold selling, demo, etc - and coherse small businesses into signing a 12-MONTH contract (you can't get out, even if their service is off).

Since Meta changed its policies, their creator search and curated list are basically handicapped but they would keep charging you for the reminder of the contract (auto-renewal, another trick) - very smart they know how to squeeze the demand and take advantage of small businesses to maximize their profit.

Grin is also glitchy at times especially when syncing with Shopify; but you ask your account manager, they always blame something else...lol...

keep all the evidence and request a chargeback from your bank or credit card they are usually fair and help correct such injustice.

GRIN Creator Management Platform is a huge asset to our influencer marketing program. With GRIN we are able to offer our creators a seamless experience through outreach, onboarding, and consistent campaigns and activations throughout their time working with us. I am able to send product, collect content, track metrics & data, as well as pay my creators all in one place. This is just a few of the things GRIN is doing well within the platform, there's plenty more where that came from. I also am always impressed by the outstanding Support Team they have; the assistance they offer brands on a daily basis is quick and educational. I'm always appreciative of how fast they will transition my requests if they need more help. Overall I am very pleased with my experience using GRIN over the past 3 years.

GRIN is amazing for streamlined content creator marketing! We've been using GRIN for a few months and it's seamless integration with Shopify is very very useful. Connecting to Shopify is one of GRIN's best features as it makes the workflow so much easier.

Thanks GRIN team for always helping out with issues!

We have been using GRIN for a little over 3 months now and it has been a huge asset for the growth of our influencer program in both the US and UK. Not only has it made our workflow much more efficient but it comes with so many amazing features such as creating activations, email templates, and curated lists. Our customer success manager, Jackie, has been a huge help and is always there to answer our questions even on short notice. We are excited to continue using GRIN and would highly recommend it to other companies looking to grow their influencer program.
