This outline is used by hundreds of e-commerce brands to generate 20% of total brand revenue from measurable referral sales their brand ambassadors generate.

Finding Ambassadors

  • Smart brands are converting their biggest fans into brand ambassadors
  • Brand ambassadors have a 2-3x higher cLTV than regular customers
  • And the average brand ambassador will generate 5 – 20 referrals over the course of the year
  • Because of these two facts, you should recruit as many brand ambassadors as possible, regardless of social reach

Ambassador Application Process

  • Once you find your ambassadors you need to onboard them into your program
  • You need a contract that limits liability, grants you license to UGC & sets expectations
  • This includes your ambassador program contract, your expectations for them, and their expectations for you
  • If you want to generate a meaningful amount of revenue from brand ambassadors you need to recruit hundreds or thousands
  • It’s not viable / too time consuming / prone for mistakes managing this process manually using multiple apps and spreadsheets
  • BrandChamp’s application process automates this for you with automated intake forms, and approval or denial workflows

Rewarding Brand Ambassadors

  • Great rewards have two things in common
  • Drive brand KPIs like increased LTV, AOV, purchase frequency, and enable brands to get rid of old inventory & get new inventory into the hands of their ambassadors
  • Are valued by your ambassadors. A good rule of thumb is would you work towards the reward you’re offering?
