I sent a message to the bed company saying that i thought giving free gifts to people who actually needed them than to bloggers/influencers wouid be better for marketing. This is what I got back.
"As a small Irish company, the use of influencers is the most effective way of building our little business and gives us a huge boost.
We understand your point of view but hope you see that this is a marketing campaign and we are not simply gifting a random influencer.
We try not to be as transparent as possible and only select influencers that we believe truly reflect our brand. We absolutely love Julie and believe she truly deserves this collab.
If you have any further questions, we would be more than happy to help out!"
I replied with this
Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
If your target market is people like Julie who completely ignore Covid restrictions , cannot string a sentence together without profanities, think teaching her kids to use said profanities is hilarious and think skulling pints in the kids play area of a hotel is ok then I wish you the very best.
Surprisingly, they didn't reply to that!
She doesn't need a new bed for the children but is taking it anyway. Grabby
