Partner with micro-influencers who embody specific aesthetic movements like cozy gaming
Why It Works
Aesthetic-focused communities trust influencers who genuinely live the lifestyle, creating authentic product integration rather than obvious advertising.
Prerequisites
How to Execute
Identify micro-influencers (1K-50K followers) in the aesthetic niche
Send products for authentic use and feedback
Create content guidelines that maintain authenticity
Track engagement and conversion metrics
Scale with successful partnerships
When It Fails
When the partnership feels forced or inauthentic, when the product doesn't actually match the aesthetic, or when influencers don't genuinely use the product.
Real Example
“A cozy gaming keyboard company partners with Twitch streamers who focus on indie games and have plant-filled, warm-lighting setups, providing keyboards that genuinely enhance their streaming aesthetic.”
