Here are the deets! 

Your participation in this campaign will include a two (2) night, three (3) day, all-expenses paid seasonal trip (Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall) to a specific destination for which that micro-influencer is selected. Itineraries will be provided to the micro-influencer with your input considered. After travel is completed, the micro-influencer will have three (3) weeks to publish the required deliverables. All costs associated with the campaign will be covered by a combination of up-front payment and reimbursement, including but not limited to airfare, lodging, rental car, food and drink, experiences, tours, and gas (NM is a big state and we know this can add up!). Campaign deliverables and compensation are negotiable.

Here's what type of micro-influencer will best fit the objectives of these campaigns:

1. We're on the lookout for regional micro-influencers from New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah, and California. If you're an influencer with a public creator or business account on Instagram or TikTok, we'd love to hear from you. Please keep in mind that we require a minimum of 5,000 followers to be considered. Regrettably, exceptions cannot be made regarding the follower benchmark.

2. We're seeking individuals who have mastered the art of storytelling, capable of painting a vivid picture of their experiences and the places they visit. While we don't need a novel (2,220 characters aren't necessary), the ability to convey an experience in a compelling manner is crucial to inspire and ignite wanderlust in others. Simply saying "✌️Desert Vibez 🌵" won't quite capture the attention we are seeking.

3. We value influencers who consistently create opportunities for engaging conversations surrounding the topics they post about. We want people to passionately discuss and celebrate the unique, diverse, and extraordinary aspects of New Mexico! Let's encourage an ongoing dialogue about the wonders of this remarkable destination.

4. Responsiveness is key! We appreciate influencers who consistently reply to comments on their posts, fostering further conversation and connection with their audience. While responding to every single comment may not always be possible (especially those pesky “DM for collab” messages that don't deserve your valuable time!), prioritizing engagement with the majority of comments is highly valued.

5. We're seeking influencers whose niche or aesthetic, if they have one, harmonizes effortlessly with the world of travel. Let your authentic style and creative approach shine through as you share the wonders of New Mexico with your audience.

6. We're setting the bar high! We're particularly interested in influencers whose engagement rate and the quality of their followers not only meet but surpass industry standard benchmarks. We want to collaborate with individuals who have a strong connection with their audience and demonstrate an exceptional level of engagement.

7. If you possess these remarkable qualities, we can't wait to hear from you! Show us why you're the perfect fit for this incredible campaign, and let's embark on an unforgettable journey together.

Here’s what will be required:

• Four (4) posts on Instagram and or TikTok and fifteen original Instagram Stories shared to a Highlight. The time period to publish content is three (3) weeks, and that timeline will be determined according to your travel dates. 

• Influencers will be required to deliver high-resolution versions of their published content with usage rights given to Simply Social Media and their Client for social channels, web usage, and campaign reporting in perpetuity. Other additional usages may be negotiated separately.

• Once we have ascertained that the micro-influencer meets the requirements, we will take the conversation to the next step! A comprehensive one-sheet will be sent, enabling us to delve deeper into the details. This one-sheet will encompass crucial aspects such as negotiating deliverables and discussing compensation.
