up.
Then I noticed that twice a week additional emails
come for gift basket requests. These emails were
from promoters that are looking for companies to
provide either sponsorships for charity events or to
send product samples to be added to VIP gift bags.

Now this is where it gets good for physical product
companies. Sometimes these gift basket requests
are for events like the Emmy gift suites, celebrity
charity events, athlete charity events, etc. So if you
meet the requirements for the theme of the event
and the type of product, this might get your product into some important hands. Plus some of these
request even include an opportunity to get you a
picture of a celebrity holding your product. Yes
just like that! So although you might not be able to
get an exact name of a celebrity attending beforehand you might just get lucky to get someone.
SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS:
Make sure you respond to requests as quickly
as possible to make sure you are considered and
you don’t miss a deadline to submit.
Only respond to requests where you product
fits. Don’t waste someone’s time.
Send your contact information with a link to
a picture of your product as HARO emails don’t
send through pictures.
Now I can’t guarantee that getting your product
into the hands of a celebrity will make sales start
going crazy but it just might be worth a shot at
someone loving your product and maybe giving you
a shootout on social media.
send product samples to be added to VIP gift bags.
