Honestly, just hit the brands where it hurts. Don’t purchase from the brands who keep gifting influencers and they’ll eventually get the message if enough people do the same.
I used to spend so much on jo Malone products, like eye watering amounts. Then they begun gifting to so many people that I decided I’m no longer going to pay top dollar for these things to fund the company giving them away to people who usually don’t appreciate them.
I wouldn’t actively contact the companies as they really won’t give a hoot, but I have provided feedback when asked. For example hello fresh were trying to promote their services in Australia shopping malls a few years ago, when they cornered me trying to get me to sign up, I used to say no and when pressed for why, I just told them. Whether they passed on that feedback or not, who knows but it felt good having a legitimate reason.
Same if I’ve ever been to baby shows etc. influencers just seem to cheapen most brands so I do believe a time will come in the not too distant future where there’ll be a shift and consumers will wake up.
