The cost of procrastination: Why booking your holiday influencers early is crucial for success! We asked our Customer Success & Strategy team when influencers typically get booked up for holiday campaigns. The consensus? Early October. Here’s what can happen if you wait too long: ⚠️ Quality may suffer: Rushed content creation can lead to lower-quality assets. ⚠️ Higher costs: Influencer rates spike as the holidays approach. ⚠️ Limited flexibility: Last-minute planning means less time for edits or reshoots. The takeaway? Plan ahead to secure top talent, lock in better rates, and ensure a successful campaign. 👇 Blog link in the comments below to learn more! #InfluencerMarketing #HolidayCampaigns #MarketingStrategy #ContentCreation #BrandSuccess
