GRIN Influencer Marketing

A Master Class in Deception and Underperformance

Grin deceived us throughout the sales process, hiding critical information, overselling the platform, and getting us to sign a 12-month contract with auto-payments that are impossible to stop, even when scammed. We're left with a tool that fails to meet our needs and doesn't deliver what was promised.

Their "Curated lists" feature, touted as a white-glove service for creator search, is laughable. The team puts in minimal effort, delivering irrelevant or duplicate influencers. The promised robust discovery tool doesn't exist; they recently added a few search filters that are ineffective.

Grin is a resource drain, creating problems instead of solving them. They excel at cold selling and misleading demos, coercing small businesses into a 12 month contract. The reality is far from what's promised.

Avoid Grin and save yourself the frustration and wasted money. You'll likely end up trapped in a long-term contract for a product that fails to deliver.

Don't waste your money, what the sales person says the software does and what it actually does are 2 different things.

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!

great to create, fulfill, and track influencer orders to scale. It's been more time efficient for our team as well. The only downside is wish there was the ability in the Grin platform to choose shipment options for fulfillment so if we needed to create the shopify order on the creator's behalf, we can select which shipment method is needed instead of the connection settings!

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!
