Greetings,
My name is Caitlyn Collins and I am the editor and a writer at the blog Milkwasted.
The Milkwasted family is looking for fabulous Etsy artisans, shops and small businesses with a local mindset to showcase in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.
We know that since it's still early Summer that Christmas may still be far from your mind however we have run our Gift Guide 2 years in a row and realize how important it is for everyone participating that we get as early a start as possible to ensure everything runs smoothly at the time of our launch come the end of October.
Should you wish to participate in this years Guide I am confident we can help to introduce new customers to your shop during the most important gift buying season of the year, through a partnership between your shops and my blog!
It is our pleasure to help spread the word about products and brands we love and believe in. As a sponsor you would have the option of having a featured post and review of 2 or more of your products or the running a giveaway, in conjunction with the product review.
To be absolutely clear about our reviewing process, you the sponsor, would send us, the reviewers/bloggers, 2 or more of your products to review in our homes. As part of compensation for our hard work, time and other services we do keep the products that are sent to us. There has been a lot of confusion over the last two years about how the process is carried out so I'm including the process here.
It is always our recommendation that you allow us to do a review as well as a fan giveaway as it gives your shop and product(s) maximum exposure while using the entry requirements to draw traffic to your shop and social media.
At Milkwasted, we believe in brands with integrity, products that last and services worth investing in.
We currently are a PR 2, have approximately 5K followers and fans on Twitter and Facebook, 1,000 followers on Pinterest, a loyal (and growing) readership on the blog, an increasing presence on Google+ and most recently Instagram, in addition to a reach of 2 million via Triberr. We also promote our reviews and giveaways daily; on our social media profiles and pages, blogging groups, sweepstakes websites, linkys and other blogs, as well.
If you would be interested in working with the Milkwasted family, we would welcome the opportunity to share your products and brand with our readers and followers.
Please let us know as soon as possible. It's still early yet but we have a limited amount of space in our gift guide and need to have everyone signed up as soon as possible to make sure we can launch on time come the end of October.
You can email me at any time at caitlyncollins89 [!at] gmail.com for more information.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing back from you!
Warmly,
Caitlyn
