Granted, that’s easier said than done. Finding the right influencer to represent your brand, setting clear expectations, and tracking results can be challenging.

On the other hand, up-and-coming influencers may feel awkward approaching businesses for collaborations if they haven’t built a massive following yet. But how do you build a following without collaborations? It’s a double-edged sword.

Now, there’s a site for that.

Piggie and you

Whether you’re a business owner or an influencer, Piggie is about to become your most valued marketing assistant. This new site, which launches on March 24, connects businesses with local influencers whose followers are also local.

Whether you’re looking to generate buzz for your seasonal menu, want to spread the word about your personal training services, or just need someone to post about your product, Piggie finds you a match that best suits your needs.

Plus, local influencers and creators who engage directly with audiences have a real impact on their community. This means that their followers are more likely to visit your store, book your services, and become loyal customers. What good is a global influencer if their followers are halfway around the world?

Getting started

Getting started on Piggie is easy for both sides. Businesses can participate by offering rewards like free meals or beauty products in exchange for content that reaches real local customers. They can review influencer profiles and select the best fit for their brand.

And, you can rest easy knowing that if influencers don’t post their review within the set time after getting a reward, they’ll be charged the full value, which gets paid back to your business.

Creators can then browse and choose deals that align with their content without the awkwardness of reaching out to businesses directly. Plus, there’s no confusion over expectations. Businesses set clear posting guidelines so that you don’t have to stress about creating content that meets expectations.

Oh, and did we mention that Piggie is completely free to use during the launch?

Take advantage of this great opportunity, whether you’re a business owner looking for effective online marketing or an influencer looking to get your content off the ground. Sign up today at Piggie.com and start collaborating effortlessly.
