4 factors that affect your Fashion brand deal rate
Your ER is the single biggest lever. Above 5% adds 30–40% to your base rate. Brands increasingly measure CPE (cost per engagement) over CPM, so a smaller engaged audience can outprice a large passive one.
Metro creators (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune) command a 1.3× premium over tier 2 cities and 1.5× over tier 3. This reflects the purchasing power of metro audiences, which brands target for premium product categories.
A single post vs a bundle (3 posts) vs a full campaign changes the rate significantly. Bundles apply a 20% per-post efficiency discount. Campaigns are priced as monthly retainers and typically deliver the highest total value for creators.
Not all niches pay equally. Finance, tech, and education command 2–3× more than gaming or food because brands in those categories have higher customer LTV and bigger marketing budgets. Your niche multiplier is applied to your base rate.
