Influencer Gifting & Seeding Campaign Planner

## CONTEXT
Product seeding, sending free products to creators in hopes of authentic, unpaid posts, is one of the most cost-efficient ways to generate organic buzz and discover future paid partners. But unstructured gifting wastes inventory on creators who never post. In 2026, smart seeding is targeted, personalized, and designed to maximize the post rate through thoughtful presentation, easy sharing, and gentle nudges, while staying compliant since gifted posts still require disclosure. The brand needs a seeding plan that converts product into content efficiently.

- Target creators likely to genuinely love and post the product.
