Which eSIM brands use travel influencers

Saily, Airalo and Holafly are the eSIM brands travel creators read for most in our data. Far more of their videos carry only a link or code than a paid read.

Most of it runs on affiliate links

  1. Holafly: 1,149 videos carry its link or code, and 47 say they are sponsored. About 1 in 24.
  2. Airalo: 947 with a link or code, 85 sponsored. About 1 in 11.
  3. Saily: 761 with a link or code, 91 sponsored. About 1 in 8.

Most Holafly links in those videos are tracking links on holafly.sjv.io.

So the paid read is the small part of how these brands show up on travel channels.

How we would run an eSIM program

  1. Start with the creators already posting your link. For Holafly that is 170 creators.
  2. Pay a read to the ones whose link sells, and book them again.
  3. Hold the brief, offer and window steady so the creator is the only variable.
  4. Judge every creator on cost per sale.
