Account metrics checklist before a brand collaboration

Forcletter is an Instagram insights service that organizes the account metrics influencers need before a brand proposal into six areas—reach, engagement rate, saves, shares, follower quality and audience fit—and helps present them in one report.

Follower count is not the first thing brands check

Brands and agencies care more about a genuinely active audience, fit with the brand's target and the expected performance of collaboration content than follower count alone. Being flagged by a fake-follower or audience-quality check can make rate negotiations almost impossible.

Essential checklist for a collaboration report

  • ① Reach and impression trends over the last 90 days.
  • ② Average engagement rate by post and Reel, plus save and share rates.
  • ③ Follower growth rate and follower quality, with a minimal bot share.
  • ④ Audience age, gender and location distributions.
  • ⑤ Audience fit: how closely the actual audience matches the brand's target.
  • ⑥ Results from past collaborations, if available.

How Forcletter can help

  • Provide a one-page report of metrics from the last 30 and 90 days.
  • Highlight real influence by clearly showing save and share rates.
  • AI agent Poki summarizes key figures to quote in collaboration proposals.

What Forcletter cannot resolve

  • Influencers remain responsible for writing proposals and emails and conducting negotiations.
  • Contracts with brands, taxes and other settlement matters require a separate process.

Who will find this especially useful

  • Influencers starting their first brand collaborations.
  • Established influencers who want to increase their collaboration rates.
  • Agencies managing multiple influencers.
