Has Ron been gifted a beanie from teeeny turbans then? This small business is not happy being used by influencers and rightly so. On one hand I agree that it’s wrong for an influencer to accept something for free, clearly liking the product and wearing it and not having the courtesy to say thank you to that small business. But then again. these small businesses also need to understand that influencers are a business that only care about themselves most of the time. Sending them items for free in return for free press is NOT a guarantee. Paying customers and their positive reviews are also worth their weight in gold! Influencers are only interested in what makes THEM money and what provides THEM with positive PR. Hinch pretends she supports small businesses, yet here we have a small business who is stating she doesn’t - love ittttt!!

We all know that she USES small businesses for her free stuff. She much prefers working with the big corporations- that’s how she has made her millions - Tescos, P&G etc..
Hinch also heavily relies on being sent freebies - it helps her to get richer and richer. No need for her to pay for clothes for her kids, nappies for her babies, toys, jus rol pastry etc etc. Maybe these small businesses need to rethink their marketing strategy.
Mind you, I have always thought Hinch is a rude, self obsessed, grabby and totally unprofessional diva. It’s good to hear a small business someone sort of semi-slating & shaming Hinch (but trying to be very careful how they play it because they are worried about the backlash from Hinch’s team, her mum and her army).
I only wish the Hinchers could see this nasty side to Soph, instead of the Disney Princess character she tries to portray all the time.
It’s all about her though - surely it should be ‘we’?
