What should the value of the product package be?

By Tom Bogaert · Reviewed on

High enough to feel like a real reward. There's no fixed amount on it — we agree that per collab — but the logic is clear.

The difference is in how it lands. A 10% discount code feels like work, disguised as opportunity. A full product, an experience, an event ticket or an exclusive drop feels like recognition. The second is something an athlete is glad to show; the first isn't.

The model runs on that recognition: athletes deliver content because the return is worth it, not because they're paid. The more the package feels like something you'd buy yourself or be proud of, the stronger the content that comes out of it.

Does creator marketing work without cash payments?

#
Yes — and not as a compromise, by design. A product-based model attracts creators who already use the brand or want to, not people monetising their account commercially. The selection filters on intent.

What if a sportfluencer doesn't post (on time)?

#
We carry that risk. Curation up front, agreements in the briefing, follow-up during the posting window and back-ups from the same pool — plus an honest completion rate afterwards: how many of the 25 actually delivered.

How long does it take from briefing to a live collab?

#
Count on four to six weeks from signed briefing to first posts: application window (1-3 weeks) → curation + squad review (5-7 working days) → shipping (a few days to a week) → posting window (2-3 weeks). Working toward a fixed date, we count back.

What if there are fewer than 25 applications?

#
Then we don't just pad it out. An honest squad of 20 that genuinely fits is worth more than 25 with five dragged-in profiles. Two levers: parallel scouting to top up the pool, and honest course-correction (smaller, wider region, different timing) if it really can't be filled.

Is Sunday Squad right for my brand?

#
Yes, if an athlete genuinely uses, tests or experiences your product — nutrition, apparel, gear, recovery, tech, safety, events. Less of a fit if there's no use experience attached. The test: can someone take it into their training for a week and say something meaningful about it?
