Quotes

  • "Usually you can get away with product seeding with Nano-influencers. You can give them free products, with a no string attached model, and they'll post." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "Nano-influencers are a very interesting approach to scale significantly because your cost is your product. The rest is just getting, managing, and onboarding these influencers at scale." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "Nano-influencers have collaborated with just a handful of brands. Micro-influencers may have collaborated with three brands in the last week. The level of trust is diminished there." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "Nano-influencers work really well for products that have a cost of $20 to $30, or $40." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "You might not want to post about a product to your followers. And you wouldnt respond to our email or our DM for that matter. But if you do, then it becomes an untapped opportunity." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "These influencer things only work if you've got the brand figured out. If you have a shady looking brand, people arent going to react well to your outreach." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "A decent amount of followers on Instagram and a website are the two things people look at when considering whether your products or services are actually legitimate." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "Oh, you have 20,000 followers. That's pretty legit and thats really the factor that's going to differentiate you. As stupid as it sounds, followers are the metric of trust on Instagram." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "On TikTok, macro-influencers work well if you look at them from a CPM basis and your product is visually pleasing in the sense that it can be displayed in video really well." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder

  • "Theres high perceived value on the influencers part because they're getting something that's worth $100, while the costs are minimal for you." -David Morneau, inBeat Agency, Co-Founder
