In the highly competitive e-commerce landscape, brands constantly strive to stand out and establish a strong online presence, leveraging different channels: advertising, public relations, social media marketing, and more. One effective channel for brand awareness and sales that has gained significant traction over these past few years is influencer marketing.

Influencer marketing isn’t just another channel—it’s the ace hidden up the sleeve of the smartest players in the game. It flips traditional advertising on its head and turns it into a conversation between truth-tellers and their loyal followers.

HTVRont, with its acute understanding of the importance of relatability and audience targeting, joined forces with TCF for an influencer marketing endeavor that spelled out precision with every step.

Here is how we did it…

About HTVRont

Since it’s not always easy to find the right equipment and materials to create what you have on your mind, sometimes you need a place to go that will have all the materials you need to make your imagination come to life.

For that, there is HTVRont.

HTVRont is an enterprise that spans the development, production, and sales of handmade DIY materials & equipment manufacturing. With a strong emphasis on R&D investment and innovation, HTVRont has created a proprietary set of standards in HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) production, setting itself apart in the craft industry.

When HTVRont aimed to propel the Automatic Heat Press Machine into market prominence, they sought a partnership that could harness the power of targeted engagement. That’s where TCF’s expertise came into play, carving out a niche strategy to elevate HTVRont’s innovative product.

The Requirements We Had

Embarking on their influencer campaign, HTVRont and TCF set clear and measurable targets to harness the potential of social platforms. Their strategy was to engage with 20 influencers specifically chosen from the DIY and crafts niche within a timeline of two months.

We aimed to reach out to influencers with substantial followers—from 10,000 to 30.000 followers, ensuring broad reach – alongside a demonstrated ability to engage viewers with minimum view counts of 1,000 on YouTube and between 2,000 to 3,000 on Instagram and TikTok.

The task was straightforward—each influencer would create and share a review video showcasing the ease of use and creative possibilities of the HTVRont Heat Press Machine. The compensation for these influencers was set as the product itself, underlining the impact and confidence HTVRont has in its offerings and catering to the love for authentic, hands-on experiences within the DIY community.

Targeted Content Strategy Across Platforms

We employed a multi-channel approach, utilizing five key platforms:

• Instagram
• Facebook
• YouTube
• TikTok
• Pinterest

These platforms were strategically selected to leverage their unique strengths in reaching our target audience and maximizing engagement. Instagram Reels allowed for quick, visually engaging content, while Facebook Posts facilitated storytelling and community engagement. YouTube offered in-depth reviews and tutorials, TikTok brought energy and shareability, and Pinterest appealed to aspirational project seekers.

This diversified approach ensured comprehensive coverage and effectiveness across different audience segments.

The content creation was strategically segmented into pivotal moments of the customer’s product interaction journey:

Unboxing: Influencers captured the initial excitement of receiving the HTVRont Automatic Heat Press Machine, detailing the packaging, the product design, and all accompanying items. This stage was critical in building anticipation and showcasing the brand’s attention to detail.
