The Problem

E-commerce brands increasingly depend on partnerships and influencer relationships for growth, but identifying and reaching potential partners at scale is extremely challenging. Finding contact information for influencers, bloggers, and potential retail partners requires hours of manual research across social platforms, websites, and databases. Generic outreach templates get ignored in crowded inboxes, while truly personalized outreach doesn't scale. Brands struggle to maintain consistent follow-up with hundreds of potential partners, letting promising relationships go cold. Without systematic processes, partnership development becomes ad-hoc and unpredictable, leaving significant growth opportunities on the table.

The Solution

Snov.io enables e-commerce brands to systematize partnership and influencer outreach through automated discovery and engagement workflows. Partnership teams use the Email Finder to identify contacts at potential retail partners, distributors, and complementary brands based on industry and company criteria. For influencer outreach, the Domain Search feature finds contact information from blog and website domains, while the LinkedIn extension captures emails for content creators with professional profiles. Verified contact lists ensure outreach reaches real inboxes rather than bouncing. Drip campaigns enable personalized sequences that introduce the brand, share collaboration opportunities, and follow up automatically. Different sequences can target different partner types—retailers, affiliates, influencers, and media—each receiving relevant messaging and offers.
