Influencer boxes aren’t just fun to open—they’re powerful brand tools designed to spark content, connection, and conversation. And while stunning packaging catches the eye, it’s what’s inside that keeps your brand in the spotlight.
If you’re wondering what to include in an influencer box, think beyond the product. A great influencer kit blends utility, personality, and purpose—each element working together to guide the unboxing and inspire posts.
Whether it’s a launch or a limited drop, the right content can turn a single delivery into weeks of visibility. Let’s break down what to include and why each piece matters.
Key Takeaways
- Every item in your influencer box should support a clear campaign goal and offer influencers value they’ll want to share.
- Thoughtful touches—like info cards, hashtags, or promo codes—turn products into content.
- Packaging should tell a story, not just hold products.
Why the Contents Matter More Than Ever
In an age where influencers receive dozens of PR packages weekly, yours has to do more than just look good on arrival. It has to feel intentional. The unboxing experience should not only surprise and delight—it should also inform, guide, and spark engagement.
That means everything in the box must serve a purpose. Not just aesthetically, but strategically.
From your hero product to the smallest printed insert, your box should answer three big questions for the influencer:
- What is this?
- Why should I care?
- How can I share this in a way that resonates with my audience?
Start With the Product, Build Around the Experience
Your product is the star, but it’s the supporting pieces that help tell the story.
Including a welcome card or short branded note is a simple way to connect personally. It introduces your tone, offers gratitude, and adds a human element that encourages the influencer to pause before diving in. This could be styled as a handwritten note or a bold, on-brand greeting card—either way, it sets the mood.
A product info sheet is your silent salesperson. Use it to clearly communicate the benefits, usage tips, or ingredients of what’s inside. Influencers often refer to these when filming or writing captions, so this isn’t fluff—it’s content fuel.
Think Like a Creator, Not Just a Brand
If you're wondering what to include in an influencer box to spark engagement, ask yourself: What would make this easy to post?
Elements like campaign hashtags, branded QR codes, or pre-written talking points give influencers a launchpad for their content. You’re not scripting them—you’re giving them tools to make your brand story easier to tell.
Want them to drive traffic too? Include a custom discount code they can share with followers. It creates urgency, supports tracking, and gives the influencer something valuable to offer their audience (which increases the likelihood they’ll post more than once).
Add the Extras That Make it Memorable
Now comes the fun part—those little touches that take your box from good to unforgettable.
Small branded extras like stickers, pins, or even lifestyle accessories related to the product add personality and surprise. These elements often live on well beyond the unboxing and show up in flat lays, story slides, or giveaways.
The packaging itself plays a role, too. When your influencer box is well-structured, visually appealing, and made with high-quality finishes, it becomes part of the content. Don’t be afraid to treat the box like a stage—not just a container.
Let Every Piece Serve a Purpose
When everything in the box—from the card to the tissue paper—feels intentional, the unboxing becomes a narrative. That’s when you move from “I got a package” to “You need to check this out.”
So if you’re still piecing together what to include in an influencer box, remember: it’s not about stuffing the box full. It’s about curating an experience that reflects your brand and makes sharing it a natural next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should every influencer box include?
At minimum: your product, a welcome or thank-you card, a product info insert, and something branded that adds personality—like a QR code, hashtag, or small extra.
How do I decide what to include based on the type of campaign?
Think about the goal. PR kits benefit from media sheets or campaign fact cards, while gifting boxes work well with personal notes, lifestyle imagery, or themed extras. Match the tone and contents to the audience and purpose.
Should I include a discount or promo code in the box?
Absolutely. Promo codes are a simple way to drive follower engagement and track results. Just make sure they’re easy to remember and clearly tied to the campaign.
How many items are too many?
Less is often more. Aim for 3–5 meaningful items that work together to tell a story, rather than overstuffing the box. Each piece should feel intentional and visually cohesive.
