How to get influencer-style reach for your new sauce without the fees?
As a new sauce brand, influencer fees are often out of reach. To get the same visibility, you need to become your own influencer. A managed content network allows you to distribute your own content to thousands of potential customers, giving you the reach you would normally pay an influencer to provide, at a fraction of the cost.

Sauces and condiments brand, launch stage: influencer fees keep climbing.
The influencer cost trap
Paying influencers for posts is a risky bet for a new brand. You pay upfront, and there is no guarantee it will lead to sales. Instead of spending your limited cash on one or two posts, use your own videos. When you post your own content consistently, you build your own audience. A content network lets you do this at scale, giving you the same reach as a group of influencers without the recurring fees.
Scaling with a content network
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This lets you build your brand awareness without being dependent on external personalities or the high costs that come with them.
What to send a provider
Send TIDE your best video content. This includes product shots, recipe videos, and any UGC you have. They will use this library to populate the network. You don't need a professional influencer to make your sauce look great. Just show your sauce being used in a way that makes people hungry. This builds trust and interest in your product, and it is a strategy you own and control completely.
Managing risks with automation
Understand that running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, so expect some account loss. TIDE replaces these accounts to keep your reach stable. This is a standard part of the process. Do not worry about individual accounts. Your goal is to reach potential customers at a cost you can afford. This is the most efficient way to get your new sauce brand the visibility it needs to succeed early on.
