Is Refersion good for dog brands?

Refersion works well if your primary goal is running a Shopify-based affiliate program — tracking commissions, managing promo codes, and automating payouts. For dog brands wanting influencer campaigns with breed-matched creators, dog sizing data for sendouts, and post-level attribution, Refersion lacks the tools. It is affiliate infrastructure, not influencer marketing.

How does Refersion pricing compare to Dogfluence?

Refersion starts at around $99/month for their Professional plan, scaling to $299/month for Business. Dogfluence starts at $199/month. The key difference is what you get: Refersion is affiliate tracking software; Dogfluence is a dog-niche influencer platform with breed filtering, dog sizing data, and Brand Trail. They solve different problems.

What is the difference between affiliate marketing and ambassador program management?

Affiliate marketing (Refersion's model) focuses on commission-based performance — creators earn a percentage of sales via unique links or promo codes. Ambassador program management (Dogfluence's model) focuses on ongoing creator relationships — content briefing, contribution tracking, and performance-based creator rotation. Dog brands wanting authentic creator partnerships typically need the ambassador model, not just commission tracking.

Does Refersion have dog breed filtering?

No. Refersion is a general-purpose affiliate tracking platform. There is no breed, pet, or niche-level filtering for creator discovery. Dogfluence is the only platform with breed-level creator matching and dog sizing data built in.

What is Brand Trail and does Refersion have it?

Brand Trail is Dogfluence's performance-based ambassador system — brands dynamically swap creators based on contribution quality over time, automatically optimizing their creator roster. Refersion manages affiliate rosters manually. There is no equivalent to Brand Trail in Refersion.

Can I use Refersion and Dogfluence together?

Yes. They serve different purposes. Some dog brands use Refersion for affiliate commission tracking (discount codes for returning customers, referral partners) while using Dogfluence for their active influencer campaigns. Refersion handles the affiliate side; Dogfluence handles the creator ambassador side.

Who should choose Refersion over Dogfluence?

Brands whose primary marketing channel is an affiliate program built around commission payouts, promo codes, and Shopify or BigCommerce integration. If your goal is running a performance-based affiliate network rather than a dog influencer program, Refersion is the right tool. For dog brands wanting creator campaigns with niche precision, dog sizing data, and post-level attribution, Dogfluence is the better fit.

Solo su Dogfluence

Amplificazione Instagram integrata. Nessun'altra piattaforma ce l'ha.

Quando pubblichi un post Instagram come brand canino, Dogfluence lo abbina automaticamente a creator canini propensi a interagirvi. I loro veri commenti, co-autorialità e storytelling migliorano drasticamente le prestazioni del tuo post e rafforzano la salute del tuo account ad ogni boost.

Piattaforme di influencer tradizionali

Il tuo post Instagram raggiunge solo i follower esistenti — zero nuova portata
Engagement IG piatto — l'algoritmo di Instagram non vede momentum
Nessun abbinamento creator per i tuoi contenuti Instagram
La salute del tuo account Instagram ristagna tra le campagne

Con Dogfluence

Il tuo post Instagram viene abbinato a creator canini adatti
I creator commentano e co-autorizzano su Instagram — vero engagement IG da profili pertinenti
Ogni boost migliora drasticamente le prestazioni del tuo post Instagram
L'amplificazione continua migliora la salute del tuo account Instagram nel tempo

Come funziona l'amplificazione Instagram

Pubblichi come brand

Pubblica il tuo post Instagram come brand. Attiva un Boost per avviare l'amplificazione.

Abbiniamo creator adatti

Dogfluence identifica creator nella nostra rete il cui profilo canino e pubblico si adattano meglio ai tuoi contenuti.

I creator interagiscono, il post decolla

Vero engagement IG da profili canini pertinenti — aumentando la tua portata, il punteggio di rilevanza Instagram e la salute dell'account a lungo termine.

GRIN, Upfluence, CreatorIQ, Modash — nessuno ha uno strato di amplificazione Instagram integrato. Ti aiutano a trovare creator. Noi ti aiutiamo ad amplificare ogni post Instagram che pubblichi.

Il vantaggio della nicchia canina

Creato per prodotti canini. Le piattaforme generiche no.

Le piattaforme di influencer generiche hanno milioni di creator ma zero comprensione del settore degli animali. Per i brand canini, quel divario crea problemi reali.

Invio tipico su piattaforma

1Trova creator che pubblica di cani
2DM: "Che razza è il tuo cane?"
3DM: "Che taglia di pettorina ha bisogno il tuo cane?"
4DM: "Puoi misurare il giro collo e petto?"
5Aspetta giorni per una risposta. Ripeti per ogni creator.

2 passaggi, zero congetture

Ogni profilo canino include ciò di cui i brand di prodotti hanno realmente bisogno

Giro collo

Per collari e bandane

Giro petto

Per pettorine e giacche

Lunghezza del corpo

Per cappotti e abbigliamento

Dati sanitari

Allergie e condizioni

Nessun'altra piattaforma di influencer acquisisce misurazioni di idoneità al prodotto. Per i brand di animali che effettuano invii di prodotti fisici, questo elimina completamente l'indovinamento delle taglie.
