For brands that sell physical merchandise, product seeding is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly ways to start or scale an influencer marketing program that boosts brand awareness and drives sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product seeding, or influencer gifting, is also one of the best ways to build brand love among your influencers by allowing them to learn about your brand, try your product, and become fans of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is product seeding (influencer gifting)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Product seeding and influencer gifting are when brands send free products to a carefully selected group of influencers. In return, influencers post about the item and share photos and opinions of the product with their followers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
