What comes up for Instagram influencers

Campaigns with several formats

Two reels, five stories, a post, plus usage rights: every campaign is its own package, and the invoice should show it.

An agency in between

Often an agency books for the brand and pays on long terms. You need an invoice recipient, a payment term and reminders.

Free packages and discount codes

PR packages, vouchers and affiliate commissions come on top of fees. What counts as consideration belongs in the billing.
