RE: You Never Know (Unless You Ask)

in #story15 days ago (edited)

20k is pretty good! At my peak (pre-Steemit) I had quite a number of followers on Facebook but my account was strictly for my writing so I wouldn't have been a candidate for any product reviews. The bag shipped this morning! It should be a fun little experiment. We're taking a road trip down to Sedona and then have another trip to Ohio that I'll be taking it on. With any luck I'll be schlepping it to Barcelona in September, that is if they haven't asked for it back. : )

Sort:  

Oh they'll never ask for it back. That's fantastic. Where will you review it? It's good marketing. We have a company here that sells laundry sheets (you know, detergent in sheet form) and even they sent us to our insta - no obligation, they just want people to talk about them word of mouth and/or become loyal customers. That's happened to us heaps - we got a rear wheel carrier bag worth a few hundred bucks just to drive around in as they knew people would see it. We didn't have to create content or anything. Still, others have been more difficult - a dash cam for example, freebie, wanted all this content and we were like, no, the deal was we create one reel, we did that, job done. They were really persistant and I had to block them. The bigger companies know better and their rules are SUPER clear and demanding EVEN if they listen to your pitch at all. We got good at picking companies that were young in the wheel rather than the big ones. ENjoy your bab - that's awesome.

I'm not sure if they'll ask for it back to resell in their outlet or something, they didn't specify. This is a pretty high-priced item ($396). Your dash cam incident makes me a little nervous about what this company might expect from me. : ) I'll review it across all my socials and here on Hive. Honestly, I suspect my following here probably sealed the deal—even though a lot of the accounts following me are inactive now. That's incredible that you got so much merch to try out. I'm sure it's fun to get free stuff and test it out. Thanks! Hopefully this will lead to other opportunities.

If they haven't put in writing you'll be find.

Nothing so far! : )

Thank you! I've followed you. That tiny home conversion is one of the best I've ever seen. I want one!
