Influencer Collaboration Inquiry Form

Streamline Your Influencer Partnerships with Paperform

In today's creator economy, influencer marketing has become one of the most effective ways for brands to connect with their target audiences authentically. But managing influencer collaboration inquiries can be chaotic—scattered email threads, lost details about campaign objectives, and unclear deliverables can derail even the most promising partnerships before they begin.

This Influencer Collaboration Inquiry Form template helps brands of all sizes create a professional first impression while capturing all the essential details needed to evaluate and kickstart influencer partnerships. Whether you're an in-house marketing team, an agency managing multiple clients, or a small business exploring creator collaborations for the first time, this form ensures every inquiry is clear, comprehensive, and actionable.

Why This Template Works for Modern Marketing Teams

Traditional email outreach to influencers often lacks structure, leading to endless back-and-forth clarification. This template flips the script by presenting your brand professionally while gathering critical information upfront: your campaign objectives, target audience, product or service details, content deliverables, timeline, and budget parameters.

The form's design strikes the perfect balance between being thorough and respecting the influencer's time. Clear sections guide them through sharing their social media metrics, content style, past collaborations, and rate expectations—giving your team everything needed to make informed decisions quickly.

Perfect for Agencies, Brands, and Social Media Managers

This template is specifically designed for:

• Marketing agencies managing influencer campaigns for multiple clients who need a scalable, professional intake process
• E-commerce brands looking to expand their reach through creator partnerships and user-generated content
• Social media managers building influencer rosters and vetting potential collaborators across platforms
• Startup founders and small business owners exploring cost-effective influencer marketing for the first time
• PR and communications professionals coordinating brand ambassador programs and sponsored content

Automate Your Influencer Outreach Workflow with Stepper

Once an influencer submits their collaboration inquiry, the real work begins—but it doesn't have to be manual. With Stepper, Paperform's AI-native workflow builder, you can automatically:

• Send personalized follow-up emails based on the influencer's tier and audience size
• Create tasks in your project management tool (Asana, Monday, ClickUp) for your team to review the submission
• Log inquiries into your CRM or Airtable base with proper tagging by campaign type, influencer tier, and platform
• Trigger Slack notifications to your social media team when high-priority influencers respond
• Schedule calendar invites for discovery calls with qualified candidates

These automations eliminate repetitive admin work, ensuring no promising partnership falls through the cracks while your team focuses on building authentic relationships.

Flexible and Customizable for Your Brand

The beauty of Paperform is how easy it is to make this template your own. Adjust the deliverables checklist to match your specific campaign needs—whether that's Instagram Stories, TikTok videos, blog posts, or podcast appearances. Add conditional logic to show budget questions only to influencers within certain follower ranges, or create custom follow-up pages based on their content niche.

You can embed this form directly on your website's partnerships page, share it as a custom-branded link in your Instagram bio, or include it in cold outreach emails to creators you're actively pursuing. The form's clean, modern design ensures it reflects well on your brand and feels professional to influencers considering working with you.

Data-Driven Partnership Decisions

Every submission flows into Paperform's powerful results dashboard, where you can filter, sort, and analyze inquiries by platform, follower count, content type, or budget fit. Export data to share with stakeholders, or use Paperform's AI Insights to identify trends across submissions—like which content formats are most popular among applicants or what average rates look like by influencer tier.

For agencies managing multiple brand clients, the Agency+ plan allows you to create separate workspaces for each client, maintaining clear boundaries while using the same proven template structure.
