Let’s talk about something every marketer struggles with:

Today, I’ll show you how to get 80–90% replies — with one simple system we’ve tested across hundreds of campaigns.

💡 How to boost creator replies by 200%

Most marketers struggle to get replies from creators… and it’s not just you.

Across the industry, average reply rates sit between 5–10%. That means if you contact 100 creators, you’ll be lucky to get 10 responses.

When I started running influencer campaigns years ago, I hit the same wall.

Hundreds of emails, almost no answers  

But after testing dozens of campaigns across beauty, fashion, and CPG brands, I learned something simple that changed everything 🔥 

And boosted our reply rate by 200%!!

Here’s what worked 👇


Treat every creator outreach like a sales funnel.


Automate personalized email generation to scale faster.


Reach 2x more creators than you actually need (volume creates leverage).


Follow up 3–4 times with urgency and personality (“we’re finalizing spots for the campaign”).

Remember: creators get hundreds of emails per week from brands.

Most brands fail not because creators say “no,” but because they never see the message twice.

If you want to fix that, let’s build your sequence — we’ll:

  • Review your current outreach workflow

  • Identify where messages get lost

  • Build a simple 3–4 step email sequence together

  • And show you how to track replies directly inside Click Analytic

You’ll leave with a ready-to-send creator sequence built to 2x your response rate, no guesswork.
