If Amazon were the Google for products, Influenster is the Facebook for products. In plain speak; Influenster is a website that sends you really good and high end product.. for free. And there’s no catch – we just got our first box, and it was amazing! We are sure you’ve seen your favorite instagrammer posting about it, but couldn’t quite understand what it was. Well, here’s your 101! More formally; it’s the leading product discovery and influencer marketing platform that helps brands foster connections, drive engagement, and create brand advocates.

Influenster loves getting to know its members really well so that each and every one of them gets a personalized product discovery experience. By being active members of the Influenster community – writing quality and helpful reviews, answering survey questions etc. – and connecting as many of your social networks to Influenster as possible, members get to qualify to receive complimentary, full-sized products from the hottest brands, based on their lifestyle preferences and shopping habits, in mailers called VoxBoxes to test and review as part of Influenster’s social sampling programs.
Upon receiving your VoxBoxes, it’s time for members to share what they think about the product samples! Members are engaged in fun activities such as writing honest reviews on the products, making social posts about the product, participating in Facebook Live, Instagram and Twitter parties and more. At the end of the VoxBox journey, you take a post-survey where your thoughts and feedback on the product experience are shared directly with brands. Brands pay attention to every word that members say and members are empowered to get their voices heard by brands; everyone’s opinion matters. Members also feel special that they are the firsts to receive these products to test even before they hit the shelves and have fun bragging about their new finds to their friends and followers.
Can you be a part of Influenster if you’re vegan? TOTALLY. The products we got in our Darling Vox Box were almost all natural and organic, save a few that didn’t fit the bill. Those simply are not applicable to us and can be handed off or donated. Our box included a great hair leave-in from Eva NYC and a lovely baby wash and moisturizer from Live Clean. When you fill out your survey when you sign up, you can specify your preferences!
Can you be a part of Influenster if you’re not a high-profile person? TOTALLY! As long as you have friends and a social network or two, you qualify for an account!
It’s so easy, and it’s a win/ win situation! Sign up today, and let us know what you think by tagging us on all social media with @girliegirlarmy in your posts!
