supplements
Check the exact formulation and listing category before approaching creators. A gummy, a capsule and a product sold with a medical claim can face different requirements. Save the applicable policy and document request for the actual SKU rather than relying on a competitor listing.

A creator can describe a truthful routine or read a documented label without promising a physical outcome. Replace treatment language with the factual product information that is both substantiated and permitted. Never ask a creator to say a product changed their health when that is not their real experience.

Film the actual package and label at a readable size. Explain what is included, how the package says to use it and what limitations matter. An educational video must not become individualized medical advice. An ingredient fact does not prove a claimed result for the finished product.

Allocate samples by lot and expiry rather than counting units alone. A creator may take time to receive and evaluate a sample; do not send stock that is unsuitable for the agreed use window. Reconcile sample releases with warehouse lot records and approved disposal procedures.

Choose a bundle that customers can understand without implying that combining products produces a health result. Model the actual package, fulfillment and commission cost. More units per order may increase gross revenue while reducing available cash for sampling and returns.

Look for creators whose audience asks relevant routine and product questions, not people who merely post wellness slogans. Review several examples for careful language and honest demonstration. Do not assume a medical-looking profile is licensed or that credentials permit unsupported claims.

Count the full cost of a cohort, including product, shipping, replacements and agreed fees. Compare mature order windows so refunds have time to appear. Gross merchandise value per sample is useful context but cannot tell you whether the sampling program earned a positive contribution.

Review the exact asset for the intended ad placement rather than assuming an organic post is ad-compliant. Check claims, disclosure, authorization and music. Set a spend cap using SKU contribution and pause if eligibility, stock or safety becomes uncertain.
Read the playbook →supplements
Separate product-use questions from medical advice, shipping questions and value comparisons. Give creators a clear escalation path for questions the brand cannot responsibly answer in comments. Update the listing only with approved facts rather than trying to close every sale.

Use the first month as a learning window rather than a promise of scale. Compare activation, mature contribution, service issues and content compliance together. A smaller cohort with reliable approved content may be a better next step than a larger wave with unresolved risk.
Read the playbook →skincare
Classify the finished product by its actual formulation, label and claims. A moisturizer and a sunscreen should not automatically share the same approval checklist. Verify the exact local category and obtain a documented decision before writing an affiliate brief.
Read the playbook →skincare
Use an unedited close-up of the real product so viewers can inspect consistency, packaging and application. Keep lighting consistent and avoid presenting a visual texture test as proof of skin results. A phone-view review should confirm captions do not hide the demonstration.
Read the playbook →skincare
Match the product to a creator's actual routine and audience questions. Do not select someone simply because their skin looks a certain way. Ask whether they can demonstrate the approved use honestly and whether they are comfortable discussing limitations without promising a cure.
Read the playbook →skincare
Treat any results depiction as a high-scrutiny claim, not a harmless editing choice. Check current platform and advertising rules and the evidence behind the comparison. When permission or substantiation is absent, use a factual routine or texture demonstration instead.
Read the playbook →skincare
Release samples to a small, reviewed cohort with realistic support capacity. Match the package and directions to the product used by customers. Keep sample timing and any posting obligation grounded in the accepted terms, not a made-up standard schedule.
Read the playbook →skincare
Do not treat fragrance-free, hypoallergenic or suitable-for-sensitive-skin wording as interchangeable. Use the exact supported label language and explain limitations where necessary. Direct personal medical suitability questions to qualified advice rather than asking affiliates to reassure every viewer.
Read the playbook →skincare
A bundle should simplify a documented use routine rather than imply extra benefits from combining products. Check instructions, packaging, pick complexity and individual item availability. Calculate contribution after discount, commissions and plausible returns before offering a larger basket.
Read the playbook →skincare
Sort real questions into usage, ingredients, texture, packaging and logistics. Prioritize answers supported by documentation. If viewers need repeated clarification about a claim, fix the claim before writing more persuasive replies or adding more traffic.
Read the playbook →skincare
Inspect the exact exported video, not just the creator's original post. Check results language, comparisons, rights, music and the allowed placement. Editing a caption or adding a hook can change the claim, so repeat approval when material changes are made.
Read the playbook →skincare
Compare the cohort's real contribution with sample and content costs using a consistent reporting window. Review whether returns reflect texture expectations, packaging damage or unsupported claims. Expand only after the team has fixed repeat issues and confirmed stock cover.

Set a repeatable lighting and camera process for swatches. Label the exact shade and keep filters off so viewers can evaluate the product. Check that the linked variant matches the video; an attractive clip that links a different shade can increase returns.
Read the playbook →beauty
Choose the specific question the swatch answers, such as finish, texture or comparison between actual variants. Show the product being applied rather than a digitally altered result. Explain what the demonstration cannot prove about wear or suitability for every viewer.
Read the playbook →beauty
Classify the tool by actual function, power source and claims. Review the local documentation and safety requirements rather than copying a cosmetics checklist. Hold outreach if approval or safe-use instructions for the exact model are unresolved.
Read the playbook →beauty
Review technique, explanation and audience questions across several posts. Match the product to the creator's actual format, such as beginner tutorials or detailed swatches. A broad beauty audience alone does not show that the creator can explain this specific product honestly.
Read the playbook →beauty
Confirm the creator's chosen variant through a private, consent-aware process. Track stock by shade rather than pooling every color together. A replacement sample must be recorded separately so costs and posting windows are not understated.
Read the playbook →beauty
Match each badge or phrase to current documentation that covers the finished product and intended market. Do not expand a supplier statement into a broader claim. Give creators an approved factual description and remove logos or language whose permission is unclear.
Read the playbook →beauty
Film the actual operating steps with visible settings and relevant precautions. Avoid unsafe actions designed purely for dramatic footage. Clarify whether the shown styling outcome is one person's experience rather than a guaranteed result for every hair type.
Read the playbook →beauty
Coordinate the release with real stock, approved promotion timing and creator availability. If an offer is limited, the limit must be true and documented. Do not use a fake timer or tell creators a restock is uncertain merely to pressure purchases.
Read the playbook →beauty
Specify separate rights for Meta placement, editing, duration and music. A public TikTok post is not a reusable ad asset by default. Review any creator identity permission needed for the chosen Meta workflow and keep an expiry/removal owner.
Read the playbook →beauty
Group returns by variant mismatch, expectations, damage and actual product defects. Use verified learning to improve shade references, listing details and briefs. Do not suppress honest negative feedback or pressure creators to hide limitations.
Read the playbook →pet products
Start with the actual function and claims of the product. A grooming brush, a treat and a product marketed for a medical condition need separate reviews. Save the local category decision and required documentation before sending a sample to a pet creator.
Read the playbook →pet products
Match species, size and real household use to the product rather than judging cuteness or follower count. Look for creators who prioritize animal comfort and can show a safe demonstration. Decline scenarios requiring an animal to behave unnaturally for a sales hook.
Read the playbook →pet products
Follow the real product instructions and stop if the animal is distressed. Film a suitable use context rather than staging a dramatic struggle. Do not claim the tool treats a skin condition or replaces professional care unless the claim is both valid and permitted.
Read the playbook →pet products
Use measurements and the actual size chart to choose a sample variant. Confirm the creator's selected size privately and reconcile it with the warehouse SKU. Track replacement costs when sizing is wrong instead of pretending the first shipment produced usable content.
Read the playbook →pet products
Show the intended use and documented limitations, including relevant supervision instructions. Avoid claiming a toy is indestructible or safe for every animal unless evidence and policy support that exact language. Match the demonstration to the actual item sold.
Read the playbook →pet products
Choose products that serve a coherent care routine and check the suitability of each item. Calculate shipping and packing cost for the whole set; bulky accessories can change economics. Do not imply that the bundle prevents or treats a health problem.
Read the playbook →pet products
Confirm the animal can use the sample safely before discussing filming. Respect the accepted terms and do not pressure an owner to force a reaction. Track delivered samples, usable demos and legitimate reasons content could not be made.
Read the playbook →pet products
Use verified specifications for power, dimensions, setup and limitations. Separate supported features from assumptions about compatibility or animal behavior. Escalate safety and malfunction questions to the appropriate owner rather than encouraging improvised repairs.
Read the playbook →pet products
Review animal handling, product claims and authorized usage before spend is approved. Check that the advertised variant is available and the demonstration is safe for the intended product. Viral animal footage is not permission to reuse the creator's identity or music.
Read the playbook →pet products
Connect return reasons to size, species suitability, product quality and content expectations. A cohort that creates lots of videos but ships unsuitable items is not a scalable win. Correct the fit rubric and listing before another sampling wave.
Read the playbook →fashion
Ask creators to identify the worn size and show fit honestly without body-shape edits. Use the product's real measurements and size chart. Provide context that helps shoppers compare garments, while respecting the creator's comfort with sharing personal measurements.
Read the playbook →fashion
Match the garment to the creator's real styling habits and audience questions. Review multiple outfits for explanatory detail rather than copying a trend. Different intended uses need different demonstrations; a workwear buyer and an activewear buyer may ask different questions.
Read the playbook →fashion
Request the creator's chosen size through an approved private channel and record the exact variant. Reserve sample stock without removing every sellable unit in popular sizes. Replacements need their own cost and delivery record.
Read the playbook →fashion
Use documented composition and care instructions when describing feel and function. Demonstrate what is visible, and do not convert stretch or texture footage into a durability guarantee. Avoid using third-party comparison footage without permission.
Read the playbook →fashion
Make the size chart accessible and consistent with the garment measurements. Explain relevant cut and care details without promising universal fit. Use actual return themes to decide which photos or measurements need clarification.
Read the playbook →fashion
Use specific supported facts instead of broad language such as planet-friendly. Check certificate scope, material percentage and permission to use logos. A supplier statement about one fabric is not automatically a claim about labor, shipping or the entire brand.
Read the playbook →fashion
Coordinate creators around real release availability and fulfillment capacity. Track sellable units by size and color instead of gross stock alone. If a drop is limited, state the actual conditions and do not run artificial scarcity messaging.
Read the playbook →fashion
Build a set with a coherent use or styling purpose. Model packaging, returns and picking complexity rather than only adding retail prices. Check that images and creator wording make clear which items are included.
Read the playbook →fashion
Separate the garment demonstration from rights to reuse the creator's identity, footage and music. Specify permitted edits and placements. An edit that changes appearance or makes a new fabric claim needs another review before paid distribution.
Read the playbook →fashion
Review mature contribution by variant and return reason, not only total campaign revenue. Identify whether size guidance, fabric expectations or availability caused losses. Expand creator volume after fixing the operational issue rather than discounting more heavily.
