Our House Rules
We’re sure you won’t really read this, but here it is just in case.
1.0 HOUSE RULES
1.1 CONSUMER FIRST

Here at Trendster we believe that consumers should always be put first with sponsored posts. Therefore both influencers and brands need to ensure that no campaign or post is false or misleading.

1.2 BRAND

BE RESPONSIVE: Please appreciate the energy each Influencer has invested into their submission by responding to each one quickly. This will also prevent Influencers having a negative experience with your brand.

BE BRAVE: Resist the urge to micro-manage. Everything from bad grammar to shaky footage makes up a unique dialect an Influencer has crafted with their followers over thousands of posts. If you change the language, you’ll change the response.

BE OPEN: This platform is for Influencers, not celebrities. You may not recognize them, but rest assured their followers do. We believe accessing countless pockets of influence is far more meaningful than a large celebrity endorsement.

1.3 INFLUENCER

BE GENEROUS: Post must stay on the top of your feed for minimum 5 hours and on your platform for 120 days.

BE AUTHENTIC: If you wouldn't recommend the brand for free - don't recommend it for money.

BE GENUINE: We work exclusively with Influencers who’ve organically grown their audience. If you’re misrepresenting the size of your audience, we reserve the right terminate your Trendster account.

BE MINDFUL: If you’re seen to be recommending competing brands in quick succession or over-populating your feed with sponsored posts, you’ll lose credibility with your follower base.
