Influencer Marketing LTK Creator

LTK invests in its Creators, Shoppers and Brands to help influencers become brands

 

LTK is getting loud by launching its first-ever brand campaign with TV commercials, advertising across social media channels and billboards featuring LTK Creators. It’s a huge investment in our Creators, Shoppers and Brands alike by catapulting this campaign across major metro markets in the US from New York City to Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and, of course, our hometown of Dallas, Texas.

So what does this mean for influencers?

LTK is investing in the value of LTK through the network effect. The network effect is very simply, a phenomenon whereby a product or service (ie. LTK) gains additional value as more people use it. As we drive brand awareness with this campaign, LTK aims to engage NEW Shoppers, Brands, and of course influencers—who want to become the next top-earning LTK Creator

For example, as LTK continues to grow and engage with influencers who want to grow their audiences and earnings by becoming an LTK Creator, they will bring value to not only LTK, but their businesses themselves. As each new influencer joins the LTK community, they bring additional value to LTK, their own personal Creator Commerce™, the LTK ecosystem of Shoppers and Brands. As the LTK ecosystem keeps growing, a positive network effect will tap into NEW shoppers who find the value of shopping the LTK App and the value of our LTK Creators. 

Why is this important? 

Our goal is not only to reinforce the value of our LTK Creators—trusted style guides who enable discovery, purchase confidence, and ease of contextual shopping. We want to make LTK a household name for Shoppers and Brands. 

So what are you waiting for? NOW is the time to grow your brand, tap into new audiences, and join a community of Creators built by a Creator.

The platform provides brands with campaign performance within our network, including clicks, sales, and orders, while also providing insights into creators and their followings. To put it simply, it connects brands directly to influencers and creators for potential collaborations. 

 

LTK Creators are not just influencers—they’re their own brands

“I have always loved shopping and I'm great at finding the diamonds in the rough! LTK helped me monetize it and they made it super easy to do so. Creating links and sharing with my friends and community couldn't be easier. I love how easy it is to share what you're loving and make money doing it! I love the relationships I have built with my favorite brands and the support I've received every step of the way.”

—Mallory, @mallykgoldman

 

“I love how LTK allows me to create a place for my community to easily find and shop all of my favorite must-haves. My community especially loves the search feature. I am so happy that the platform provides a way for people of all backgrounds to share the things they love, while making it all shop-able. I enjoy following other creators, gaining inspiration and being able to shop their favorites, all while supporting women owned businesses.”

—Anna, @annamaegroves

 

“LTK helps me monetize the content I create for my blog, social platforms and the LTK App. Being able to see what's trending on a weekly basis and my performance analytics dashboard are especially helpful, given that readers aren't always vocal about what they're looking for, what their needs are, or what might be most inspiring to them in a given month. I love having a one-stop shop for my audience to quickly and casually discover and shop all the things I'm sharing weekly. It's also been an excellent way for me to reach a new audience that is exclusive to the app.”

—Natalie, @natalie.yerger

 

“LTK has provided me with access to a team that offered me one-on-one strategic advice based on my current goals and plans for progress. The analytics tools help me plan my strategy and content that set me up for success. I love the LTK's advanced digital marketing strategies, the supportive and encouraging network whose advice helped me meet and exceed my goals.”
