Designed to streamline gifting logistics and provide clear ROI for brands, the feature automates the selection, fulfillment, and reporting of gifts, directly linking these actions to sales. By seamlessly integrating with e-commerce platforms, it removes the manual labor involved in managing gifting, simplifies the process of influencer engagement, and immediately showcases the financial benefits of influencer partnerships.

Ahead of the highly anticipated ShopTalk Las Vegas event, Trnd is proud to announce the release of its Gifting feature. Trnd offers a unique platform where influencers can create their own social stores, enabling instant transactions without leaving their content on any channel. Unlike traditional methods such as link trees or affiliate links, which often lead to consumer frustration and poor ROI due to multiple clicks, Trnd provides a seamless and highly engaging social shopping experience. This approach maximizes conversion rates and increases revenue, aligning perfectly with ShopTalk's theme of fostering exceptional retail experiences.

The Gifting feature addresses the complex, manual processes often seen in influencer gifting programs. With e-commerce platform integration, Trnd automates ordering and shipping, freeing brands to focus on building highly effective campaigns that align with influencers and their audiences.

Key Benefits of Trnd’s Gifting Feature

  • Automated Gift Selection and Shipping. Brands can now integrate their product catalogue directly with Trnd, streamlining selection and automatic shipping of gifts to influencers. This eliminates manual efforts, enabling brands to focus on selecting meaningful gifts.
  • Gifting Program ROI. The Trnd Gifting feature offers valuable insights into how gifting programs impact content creation, social engagement, and sales. These insights empower brands to make informed decisions, optimizing the effectiveness of their gifting campaigns. 
  • Gifting visibility. Trnd enables both influencer managers and creators to know which gifts were sent and when. This visibility allows creators to plan their content and drops more efficiently, and for brands to measure the impact of their gifting efforts and refine their strategies for improved results
