Short answer
Influencer seeding is the practice of sending free products to many creators without payment or posting requirements, hoping some share them organically. It is lower cost than paid partnerships and can generate authentic reactions. Results are unpredictable, and creators who do post about gifted products still need to disclose the relationship.
