Creating proposal templates and setting response deadlines

If you send proposals on the same terms to many influencers, saving a proposal template and loading it is far quicker than writing each one from scratch. You manage templates at /biz/proposals/templates.

Creating and saving a template

1. Tap new template on /biz/proposals/templates.
2. Enter the template name (at least 2 characters), a description, the campaign type, how the product is provided, the budget range, guidelines and things to note, the product name, the product information URL and the site URL.
3. The content submission deadline is set as a number of days (1 to 90), not a date. Because templates are reused, it is calculated as "N days after the proposal": when you load the template on the direct proposal screen, the content submission deadline is filled in as the loading date + N days. You can change the filled-in date, and it must be after the response deadline before you can send.
4. Tap save template to add it to the list.

If you have already sent proposals, the "create from a past proposal" list on the right of the template screen lets you load one and save it as a template.

Loading a template and sending

1. On the screen where you write a new direct proposal (/proposals/new), open load template.
2. Choose a saved template and the title, description, campaign type, how the product is provided, guidelines, social channels, budget, product name, content submission deadline and other fields fill in automatically. Things to note go into the additional notice field. The site URL goes into an empty field: the purchase URL field first if the proposal is a purchase type, otherwise the product/service reference URL field. If both fields are already filled, the site URL is not filled in.
3. Check and adjust what changes per proposal — the recipient, the reward and the response deadline — along with the filled-in content submission deadline, then send.
4. Each time you load a template its "used N times" count goes up, so you can see at a glance which ones you rely on.

How to set the response deadline (3 to 30 days)

• The response deadline is how long the influencer has to accept or decline. It can be 3 to 30 days, and the default is 7 days.
• The content submission deadline can only be set to a date after the response deadline.
• The response deadline is set when you actually send (on the direct or bulk proposal screen) and is not stored in the template. The template stores only "how many days until content is due", and the content submission deadline is filled in from the date you load the template.

What happens when a proposal expires unanswered

• If the influencer neither accepts nor declines by the response deadline, the proposal moves to expired automatically.
• Any reward you held when sending (the escrow) and the per-proposal sending fee you paid without a subscription (5,000P) are then returned to your points balance. The same applies when a proposal is declined or withdrawn before a response.
• You can see the returns on the payment history screen.
