🪧 Buy every billboard in town for pennies on the dollar

It’s the 1950’s. You just bought every billboard in the city. Your sales are going through the roof.

Why? Because you created a halo effect to make your brand seem larger than life - you’re everywhere!

As a brand in 2024, you almost have to “be everywhere” to be relevant. Or you risk getting lost in the noise.

This is what brands on Saral are doing with their high-volume ambassador programs. When you’re a niche brand, all you need is a couple dozen influencers to post about you to make customers say, "They’re everywhere, I don’t want to miss their products!”

With automated discovery and bulk-personalized outreach, Saral helps you eliminate the boring work and allows you to scale.
