Not having to search for Influencers on my own.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2020

The fact that the platform is credit based, with no contract requirements was a huge selling point for us.

Would have loved to have been able to target influencers by specific categories a bit more, (ie food/wellness/nutrition as opposed to general and fashion).

We were able to generate some unique UCG for our newly launched social platform. It was helpful to have a pool of influencers to choose from as opposed to seek them out ourselves.

Maybe some more screening of influencers.

  ### 7. Easy to use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2020

**What do you like best about Trend?**

It's a great way to get content at a reasonable price

You have to be very specific with the type of content you want posted, and it's still a bit difficult to control the content

Inexpensive UGC / testimonial type video

  ### 8. Easy to use!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2020

**What do you like best about Trend?**

Great support and really easy to set up, I like their platform.

**What do you dislike about Trend?**

The influencers on the platform seem like they post a ton of prodcuts/ads so you won't really stand out but its a really affordable way to create UGC. Also, there's no deadline really so you need to be the one to follow up with all the influencers.

**What problems is Trend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating much needed video content.

  ### 9. Everything in one place-absolutely love TREND.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2020

**What do you like best about Trend?**

Trend is very easy to use.  It allows you to find content creators and influencers that match your brands personality. We have used a number of the content piece created in our social media.

**What do you dislike about Trend?**

It fails to capture all of the analytics of all the contributors posts. So the numbers are lower than what they could be.  It forces you to write a review for each contributor.  I would prefer to not write a review for bad contributors. It would be great if their pool of contributors grew larger.

**Recommendations to others considering Trend:**

It's very simple to use, and if there are issues the staff is very helpful.

**What problems is Trend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Content for social media.

**Reviewed by:** Samantha M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2020

The time and resources  saved by searching and vetting out influencers is phenomenal. I’ve cut hours of work out of this process by using Trend. Influencers come to you vs. searching for them organically.

**What do you dislike about Trend?**

Would love to have a more robust reporting document that is more visual.

**Recommendations to others considering Trend:**

Start with a small campaign that is simple. Make a goal for your campaign (x number of influencers, x total engagement, x number of great content to repurpose). Use your content for organic and paid social strategy.

**What problems is Trend solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time in searching for influencers.
