### "Great customer service + easy to learn!"

November 11, 2021

5.0

Overall I love the experience- the customer service, the seamless integration, and the analytics.

Pros

I think the customer service is A plus! The process and steps for learning the program was user friendly and straightforward. I love that Grin works so easily with our other platforms- Shopify and Slack.

Cons

I don't find the Creator Search to be very effective. I find the results to be too broad.

### "Scale Your Influencer Program Fast and Easy!"

February 22, 2019

5.0

Grin has been essential in growing our influencer program. It has allowed us to triple our content production and has allowed us to reallocate employees hours to other areas of the business. Prior to using Grin, we have 1.5 employees managing our influencers. Now we have 1 part time employee.

Pros

The integrations and ease of use. It keeps everything (emails, contracts, supporting documents, payment, conversions) all in one system.

Cons

Finding micro-influencer can be difficult but it is very easy to on-board them on the software.

### "Grin helped us scale and grow our influencer program with a one-person team!"

January 14, 2021

4.0

Pros

Grin has helped streamlining and automate our influencer communications in a way that has allowed us to grow with really limited resources. It's great having all of the communication and executing consolidated in one place.

Cons

The main roadblock is that Grin has so many features that we just haven't been able to use due to capacity. I would recommended ensuring you have the resources to be able to dedicate to the platform to use it to it's full potential.

### "Efficient and Useful"

May 20, 2021

4.0

Overall, GRIN is a huge asset to our Influencer program. The data is provides my team allows us to deep dive into the program with the click of a button. Because of this we are able to adapt and improve month over month.

Pros

Having all of my influencer work flow in once place has made my job so much easier! Having all of my response templates in one place makes communication so much faster and makes more time for other priorities.

Cons

The only thing that is not the best with GIRN is when you have 1 manager working with multiple influencers at once. Communicated can get crossed and making payments can get confusing.

### "Love Using GRIN!"

February 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

What I like most about GRIN is that it makes managing influencer partnerships easy and convenient.

Cons

What I like the least about GRIN is that I've experienced a couple of instances where an influencer's content did not track, which lead to no reporting being available for that influencer in certain Activations; however, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and the support team have been very responsive with trying to find a solution.

### "WONDERFUL HANDS ON SUPPORT FOR YOUR GROWING BUSINESS"

October 20, 2020

5.0

THE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE. IMPECCABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM MY ACCOUNT SPECIALIST TO THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT. YOU ALWAYS HAVE A LIVE PERSON TO TALK WITH AND FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE A "MOM & POPS" TEAM HELPING YOU ALONG THE WAY. IT'S QUITE SPECIAL FOR SUCH AN ESTABLISHED COMPANY.

Pros

THE EASE OF USE. THE COMPANY IS CONTINOUSLY STREAMLINING THEIR PRODUCT TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE USER FRIENDLY TO US USERS. THE ORGANIZATION OF INFLUENCERS AND THEIR CAMPAIGNS WAS A WONDERFUL HELP.

Cons

A BIT SPENDY FOR A START UP BUT WORTH IT FOR INFLUENCER BASED MARKETING. MARKETING IS ESSENTIAL FOR ANY START UP.

### "GRIN is the standard for influencer relationship management for Shopify stores"

April 1, 2019

5.0

We are solving the problem of how to scale an influencer team while maintaining deep relationships. We are using automation and personalization along with Shopify to create the best influencer program possible.

Pros

After 5 months we are seeing 10x the ROI. The Shopify integration is spot on and the pace of feature releases has been higher than expected. I can tell that the team at GRIN is committed to making this product a real asset to their clients. We couldn't be happier using GRIN.

Cons

I haven't encountered any features that are unsatisfactory 5 months into use.

### "Great all in one tool"

March 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

I enjoy that you can do everything from influencer searches to landing pages, to collecting assets and everything in between and it's kept in one platform instead of bouncing back and forth through other platforms or services to track everything.

Cons

My biggest pet peeve about it is when you set briefs the save button it at the top of the page. If you click the "next" button before scrolling to the top then your work is not saved. I've had to redo things many times. It's a simple fix that hopefully is taken care of soon. I would also like more features for customization on the landing pages that you can create.

### "Great asset for managing influencer marketing"

March 27, 2021

5.0

Overall Grin is an asset to the company's influencer marketing efforts, though with room to improve and evolve

Pros

All aspects of managing influencer marketing are visible in one portal, which is intuitive and straightforward. The report builder tool is great for summarizing our activities.

Cons

It's not particularly easy to use the influencer search functionality and it would be nice to identify which products were sold by which influencers - it would complete the feedback loop

We used Grin to find social media users based on very specific demographic information. In the beginning, we also used it for the email outreach, but later switched to ESPs.

Pros

I love the ability to search for social media users based on very specific demographic traits.

Cons

It was a bit hard to keep track of communications with each influencer within the platform.

### "Murphy Grin Review"

February 26, 2019

5.0

Very positive! The team is always willing to work with us and help in the way that will work best for us.

Pros

We manage so many influencers that it's often hard to keep track. Grin has really been a life saver, keeping us organized and giving us more insight than we've ever had on people receiving our product. Just the sheer functionality of a CRM for our influencers is huge for us.

Cons

The search function isn't the best. It's sometimes hard to discover people who are really relevant to our brand.

### "Perfect solution for headache-free influencer marketing"

September 17, 2020

5.0

Grin has actually helped us cultivate some genuine relationships with influencers to our brand. It takes the headache out of the process and keeps things organized so we can focus on even better reach and relations.

Pros

What really drew me into this one is that it works for influencers in other platforms than just instagram. We can find influencers on YouTube, TikTok, and more. It also integrates right into Shopify and other e-commerce stores, so we can keep track of what we need to send to who, and track shipping too.

Cons

There's not much to dislike here. You have a lot of options and integrations with this, so there's really nothing to not like.
