MINISO Creators Wanted!

Hi lovely! 💕 We’re working with MINISO on the Australian launch of Chiikawa - a hugely popular Japanese character IP that’s gone viral across social, manga and merch, and we’d love to see if you’d be keen to be involved. From 13 Feb, Chiikawa will be landing in MINISO Chatswood, and we’d invite you to pop into store, have a browse and create content featuring the Chiikawa range (it’s very cute, very kawaii🐰✨).

Wondering how gifting compares with other influencer strategies?

1. How is gifting different from affiliate marketing?

Affiliate programs reward performance-based sales, while gifting focuses on product exchange for content and awareness. Some brands use both approaches for different stages of the customer journey. At #gifted, we support your brand in building a strong content pipeline while generating social proof and advocacy.

2. Does gifting replace paid influencer campaigns?

Each method serves different objectives within a broader strategy. Many brands do both if they have the budget. #gifted is used to match with creators who are excited about partnering with new brands for contra collaborations.

3. Which strategy works best for new brands?

Many emerging brands begin with gifting to build awareness and content before expanding into paid or performance models. Brands that maximise #gifting are repurposing their creator content at all stages of the funnel

4. Can multiple strategies run together effectively?

Yes. Coordinated approaches often provide more balanced marketing outcomes.
