|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

✅ Step 2: Send Festive Greetings (Quarterly / Major Events)
For Diwali, New Year, Holi, Eid, etc.:
-
🎁 Send an e-card or gift (optional)
-
💬 WhatsApp/email message with personalization
-
✨ Use Canva festive greeting templates with brand elements
📌 Format example:
“Hey [Name], team Cashkr wishes you a sparkling Diwali! Grateful for our past collabs & looking forward to more wins together. ✨🎉”
✅ Step 3: Share Early Access to Campaigns
When launching a new campaign, offer early preview:
-
Share brief about upcoming collab before public launch
-
Ask for interest before general influencer outreach
-
Give content exclusivity window if possible (24–48 hrs)
✅ Step 4: Re-Engagement Every 3 Months
For influencers not contacted recently:
-
Sort by "Last Collaboration Date"
-
Shortlist top 20 past influencers
-
Send friendly re-engagement message:
📌 Template:
“Hey [Name], it’s been a while since our last collab! We’ve got a cool new campaign and would love to have you back. Want a quick preview?”
✅ Step 5: Track Engagement Warmth
Maintain simple scoring in the tracker:
| Influencer | Engagement Level | Last Interaction | Ready to Re-Collab? |
|---|---|---|---|
| @techsara | Warm | Eid 2025 Greet | Yes |
Engagement Levels:
-
Hot → Recently active or in campaign
-
Warm → Engaged with brand comms, festive greeted
-
Cold → No contact in last 6+ months
✅ Step 6: Archive All Chat History & Assets
-
Store all conversations (email/WhatsApp screenshots) in campaign folders
-
Save assets created by influencers for future repurposing
Folder Format:Drive → Influencer Campaigns → [InfluencerName] → [Year]
📌 Notes:
-
Don’t spam — relationship > volume
-
Always personalize messages and remember small details (pets, hobbies, etc.)
-
Respect professional boundaries; schedule calls if needed
-
Use Instagram Close Friends or WhatsApp Broadcast for selective preview
