gifting at the Organization (thank you!!). I carefully made sure that these products were first aligned and that there was no conflict of interest among them. Then I provided very specific shipping instructions. <strong>Very specific.</strong> <br><strong>MY NAME<br>FEDEX OFFICE ADDRESS<br>MISS USA ORGANIZATION <br>BOX # _ of _</strong></p><p><em><strong>And to share the tracking number with me PRONTO.</strong></em><strong> </strong></p><p>I received boxes from brands that DID NOT follow shipping guidelines, tracking numbers not shared on deadline, some brands didn&#8217;t even put a person&#8217;s name and other simply choose not to following labeling instructions. This made it extremely difficult and very time consuming when picking up packages from FedEx and could have actually resulted in the products NOT being picked up altogether. </p><p><strong>Why is this important?</strong></p><p>When products are shipped to FedEx or other mail service holding outlets, the person picking up has to not only have the tracking numbers, but their IDs, and ready for it - <strong>has to pay to retrieve EACH package.</strong> We paid nearly $5K to get all of our packages. If the shipment is NOT labeled correctly, it can easily be missed but also, the person retrieving CANNOT take from the office.  Many of these products came from fulfillment warehouses which made it even harder since the brand's name was not on the boxes to help us verify. </p><p><em><strong>I know that this isn&#8217;t the publicists fault but I do feel it is important for us publicists to really help our clients, these brands navigate the best way to participate in future gifting opportunities and to see the best ROI. </strong></em></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Gifting Do&#8217;s &amp; Don&#8217;ts</h2><p>DO - Physical Full-Sized Products ONLY<br>DON&#8217;T - Literature, gift cards - these tend to get overlooked and even if the offer is to redeem a complimentary item, it doesn&#8217;t perform well. <br>DO - Consult with your client on the best items that are IG worthy &amp; giftable. <br>DON&#8217;T - Keep price tags or store inventory stickers on products - this looks very tacky.<br>DO - Communicate the importance of following shipping instructions &amp; deadlines. <br>DO - Encourage your clients to include QR codes, social media tagging options ON the product. </p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Want to partner with Miss USA &amp; Miss Teen USA for the upcoming season  <a href="https://forms.gle/YS5ZvaJSM1b4msuF6">Complete form here</a>. </strong></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>WTF Moment of the Week</strong></h3><blockquote><p style="text-align: center;">Surprisingly, we had a good month! </p></blockquote><h2>I am currently sourcing for the following: </h2><ol><li><p><strong>For Sass Magazine:</strong></p><ol><li><p>What is Habit Stacking? </p><ol><li><p>Looking to speak to reliable sources &amp; product recommendations</p></li></ol></li><li><p>Benefits of Red Light Therapy </p><ol><li><p>Looking to speak to reliable sources &amp; product recommendations</p></li></ol></li><li><p>Best Ways to Grow Your Own Herbs, Fruits, &amp; Vegetables Indoors</p><ol><li><p>Looking for the best products to grow your own produce</p></li></ol></li><li><p>Best Products to Maximize Your Work Day &amp; Productivity</p><ol><li><p>Looking for office/tech productivity gear </p></li></ol></li><li><p>What&#8217;s Your Zen? </p><ol><li><p>Looking for products for BOTH bathrooms and bedrooms to elevate your space, and </p></li><li><p>Interior Designers to explain why certain items work as well as incorporating Feng Shui concepts. </p></li></ol></li></ol></li></ol><p style="text-align: center;"><em>I do accept pitches for Sass Magazine but PLEASE do your due diligence and familiarize yourself with their content first. </em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://www.muckrack.com/ashley-victoria-smith&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;MuckRack Portfolio Here&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="http://www.muckrack.com/ashley-victoria-smith"><span>MuckRack Portfolio Here</span></a></p><p>I am also accepting Holiday Gift Guide options this year; both for Sass Magazine &amp; Home Business Magazine.

True story &#8212; I was quoted $6,000 for ONE (1), uno, eins, Instagram story from a creator - what the actual f**k - the fact that they can and indeed do this just makes me question my life decisions&#8230; nonetheless, Social Cat. I personally use this for my swimwear brand and for my clients. Why? It starts at $99/month which allows you to create a campaign to gift up to five creators&#8230; did you see the keyword - GIFT. Influencers / Creators that apply to collaborate already know this is a gifting campaign in exchange to the deliverables you set. The best part is, all communications &amp; agreements are done through the platform holding the influencer accountable and lets you rate them after. <strong>Use my code: GLJLHXFX to get 25% OFF your first month.</strong> Oh yeah, it&#8217;s month-to-month too - you can pause whenever you like. </p><p>I strongly recommend you adding at least $300 to your client&#8217;s retainer if they are interested in podcasting. Why? <strong><a href="https://podpitch.cello.so/2g6VOfRsI3D">PodPitch</a></strong> - I really do love this service - it helps (again, HELPS) draft pitches, set automation follow ups, and pulls relevant podcasts for you based on your client. Is it perfect, no - you still have to manually review/screen the pitches and double check the outlets but good Lord, it saves SOOOOO much time and honestly, the results in securing podcast for my clients, is worth it. Click <strong><a href="https://podpitch.cello.so/2g6VOfRsI3D">here</a></strong> to get $100 OFF your first month. And again, if you need to pause, they have that option too! </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ashleyvictoria.substack.com/p/pitch-calls-upcoming-events-and-opps?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/ashleyvictoria.substack.com/p/pitch-calls-upcoming-events-and-opps?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>How Can I Be of Service</h2><p>Use me, but not like my ex-boyfriends or previous employer.

clients&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8221;how do I price my retainers&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;what should I be pitching this month&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8221;how do I respond to these demanding request from low-paying clients&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8221;who do I contact at this outlet for this pitch&#8221;</p></li></ul><p>OK, I think you get my gist. So this is why I am sharing some of the tools &amp; resources that I have helped me AND continue to do so. But first, long story short time.  </p><p>Before I took on PR full-time and freelance writing, not to mention launching my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/vogliaswimwear">swimwear brand</a>, I actually use to produce fashion shows for New York Fashion Week and Miami Swim Week, along with smaller local productions in Miami Beach, FL and Charlotte, NC - I did this for ten, long years and what I found myself doing the most within the production is PR. Reaching out to designers, partners, sponsors, HMUAs, models, etc&#8230; to put together amazing shows and believe it or not, I didn&#8217;t realize I was doing PR! </p><p>Fast forward, in 2020 when the World was locked down, I found myself *ahem* doing PR for emerging brands and practically winging it, throwing myself to the wolves. Knowing I needed guidance and coaching, I turned to the  <a href="https://www.jenerationacademy.com/a/29926/jCK3nmGi">Pitch Lab</a>.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a
