Influencer Advisory™What should influencer reporting show each week?

What goes in an influencer analytics report?
Report sales for each creator, every week.
80% of the creators you onboard don't perform, and you only find out after paying them.
Once you know what goes in the sheet, the next question is what fills it.
Which influencer campaign reporting tools should I use?
Pick a tool that shows return per creator, and ask about reports before you sign.

The smaller the budget, the fewer reports you get back, so ask every partner about reporting up front.
Even a good tool can show you the wrong picture if it only counts the last click.
Why don't influencer numbers match your sales?
Test the real lift, then report one number across channels.
