How to Successfully Collaborate With Brands and maintain a long term relationship


Are you wondering how lots of bloggers including myself collaborate with different brands and maintain a long-lasting relationship with them?.
Keep reading to get the key facts of having a long-lasting relationship with brands and positive collaboration.

1. Early reply.
Most bloggers fail to reply to emails really fast, some take more than a week to reply to emails, this makes the brand agent lose interest and this can harm your collaboration with the brand causing it to be brief or canceled. Remember there are lots of influencers out there.

2. Spell check.
Spell check can be a complete turn off to a brand agent, this is because most brands re-share articles written about their products and this is something you should look out for when collaborating and replying a brand about a collaboration. Read-through before sending your emails or replies.




5. Flexibility.
As a blogger or lifestyle influencer, flexibility is needed. Every action counts. Everyone likes to be treated in a special way and this also includes the brand we collaborate with. Gives ideas that will thrill the brand and make them even more engaged. Let them know how far you can go to make sure the collaboration is successful and reaches the right audience.
Be open to changing your posting style, let the articles be delightful to read and engaging.

6. Photography and content.
For instance, you are collaborating with a clothing brand, it is your duty to ensure that the photos are well taken, in a good location and every detail is clear. Photography is one tool that plays a great role in every collaboration. Let your content be original and well out together. Written to promote the brand, increase traffic, and generate clicks.

3. Be engaging, act professional, and qualified.
This plays a very important role as to how a brand responds after accepting to collaborate with you. How you reply to brand matters, constructive replies, and using the right words. Acting professional in any business you are into is very important, this brings about that trust and relationship that you are capable of handling the project.

4. Ask a question and clarify every information.
Communication is very important. Be specific about how you are going to carry out the collaboration and posting dates. Make sure you read the instructions sent to you before accepting or signing any document. If you are not clear about any word or instruction ask questions.

5. Flexibility.
As a blogger or lifestyle influencer, flexibility is needed. Every action counts. Everyone likes to be treated in a special way and this also includes the brand we collaborate with. Implement ideas that will thrill the brand and make them even more engaged. Let them know how far you can go to make sure the collaboration is successful and reaches the right audience.
Always try to be flexible with your posting style, let the articles be delightful to read and engaging.




Photography and content.
Let's take for instance you are collaborating with a clothing brand, it is your duty to ensure that the photos are well taken, in a good location and every detail is clearly seen. Photography is one tool that plays a great role in every collaboration. Let your content be original and well put together. written to promote the brand, increase traffic, and generate clicks.


7 Authenticity and Genuity.
To be authentic means to be genuine and to be genuine means to be real and original. Be transparent with the brand you are working with. Do not take products or accept offers you can not carry out a proper review for/about. Always aim to keep your integrity and reliability.




5. Share truly constructive feedback.
This should be done at the end of every collaboration. Share feedback to be aware of your performance. Be open to corrections and changes which the brand might need. This helps you to improve.

    I think sometimes bloggers but also agencies forget to "act professionally" and that its still a business... but in general, I only made good experiences.

    Loving your dress by the way ♥
