In a bold move to transform digital marketing, ShopMy has launched ‘ShopMy Opportunities,’ a feature poised to revolutionize the way brands and creators collaborate. This innovative tool offers a direct alternative to traditional paid social and search advertising by enabling brands to secure guaranteed social mentions from creators for fixed payments. At the same time, creators retain full creative control and are assured a steady income. This feature complements ShopMy’s existing suite of brand-creator collaboration tools, which include paid campaigns, affiliate marketing, and gifting, all powered by robust data analytics and scalability.
A New Era of Creator Marketing
ShopMy Opportunities introduces a streamlined process for both brands and creators. Brands can create and share Opportunities in minutes, with automated tracking and performance monitoring via a real-time leaderboard. This feature was beta tested with brands such as Chan Luu, Dr. Diamond Metacine, and SIMKHAI, yielding an impressive average 5x return on investment and boosting brand engagement and trust.
Empowering Creators with Autonomy
For creators, ShopMy Opportunities provides the freedom to produce content without the rigid constraints of traditional campaign structures. There are no complicated requirements or approval periods, allowing creators to integrate products naturally into their content. This flexibility not only enhances authenticity but also allows creators to earn meaningful commissions alongside guaranteed payments for completing Opportunities.
Elizabeth Cook, a content creator with 24k followers, shared her enthusiasm: “Having worked on the marketing side for years, I believe this new feature is a game changer for both the creator and the brand. It is a seamless process, and I especially love how all mentions and data are sent to the brand in real time. I also appreciated the flexibility to share authentically, seamlessly weaving it into my everyday content. Working with a brand that honors and supports my creative journey has been truly rejuvenating.”

For brands, ShopMy Opportunities offers a significant shift in digital marketing strategy, providing a direct alternative to paid social and search advertising.
