An open world of brand ambassadors

In the World of Brand Ambassador

In the world of Brand Ambassadors, much happens behind the scenes, with some encountering fraudulent brands. Since launching this blog, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Instagram messages inviting me to represent brands. Initially skeptical due to my modest following, I questioned the legitimacy. However, it’s all genuine! Let me share my ambassadorial experience, offering candid insights on successes and pitfalls. Get ready for an insider’s perspective!

Valerio Brand

The first brand that I was not happy with was Valerio. They reached out to me to become one of their many brand ambassadors. They were an accessory brand company offering sunglasses and watches for both men and women. Immediately, the items looked amazing on the website – but in person, they didn’t meet expectations. Even though I did get their product at a discounted rate, my expectations were still high for quality – seeing that the regular pricing was quite expensive. I found the details and quality disappointing. Upon reaching out, I was upset by the lack of cooperation. As a result, I haven’t worn the watch purchased from Valerio yet.

Now, being an ambassador, you’re supposed to promote the business. Though unsatisfied, I decided I would not subject anybody to spend their hard-earned money on poor merchandise. The way they shipped the merchandise could have been better – packaged in bubble wrap and tape – in a yellow envelope – not even a watch box with their brand name. That would explain why most of the other brand ambassadors I’ve seen always go for sunglasses. My advice to this brand: If you’re going to charge an outrageous amount of money for your products – be willing to invest just as much into the quality of your brand. It’s worth noting that Valerio is no longer in operation, but it serves as a reminder to check with brands thoroughly before making purchases.

God the Father Apparel

The next brand I was pumped to join was God the Father Apparel Company. They’re this awesome Christian clothing brand out of Canada. Found ’em through an Instagram ad for brand ambassadors. I filled out the app and was surprised they accepted me, even though I still needed a bigger following. One thing that kinda bummed me out while repping this company is they’re all about pushing their discount code to shoppers, which kinda undercuts you as an ambassador trying to get more people to use your code. But hey, when you post their gear on your story or profile, one perk is they’ll share you on their IG page. Still waiting to see that happen though – even after I shouted them out twice as per their ambassador terms on my IG.

On the flip side, they’re a solid company with top-notch fabric and stylish clothes. Prices are fair – you get what you pay for, and I dig that. So, check out their website and spread the Gospel – oh, and when you buy something, 10% goes to World Vision. So, not only are you rocking Christian gear, but you’re also helping someone in need. And hey, they’re still going strong.

Saved By Christ Brand

Saved by Christ is another cool Christian apparel brand based in Canada – I saw their ambassador ad, applied, and got in! Had no issues with them – although there was a shipping delay that got me a bit worried, but hey, COVID-19, right? They came through on everything they promised. Honestly, I’m super happy repping for them. Their stuff’s top-notch too – you pay a bit more, but it’s worth it, supporting small businesses and all. Oh, heads up though, they might not be doing ambassador codes or discounts anymore. I’ll be hustling to snag a new code for you, but in the meantime, you can check out their website to see if they’ve got any deals going on.

Slide Jewelry Brand

I love jewelry to elevate outfits. Meet Slide Jewelry for quality and affordability. What’s even better? They choose cartons over plastic to reduce CO2 emissions – who wants their jewelry box to double as a mini greenhouse? Their pieces exude style and are suitable for any occasion.

Speaking from personal experience, I’ve had a great time with Slide Jewelry. I purchased a gold-plated padlock necklace, which still looks fabulous, and a gold-plated bracelet that’s held up beautifully. However, it’s worth noting that their sizes tend to run small, particularly for those with smaller wrists or necks. As someone on the plus side, I found that some pieces didn’t quite fit me well. However, Slide has you covered for quality bling – remember to consider sizing before purchasing!

My Journey

With all that in mind, I’ve gained some valuable insights from my experiences with these brands. First and foremost, let’s remember not to rush into the first offer that comes our way. Take a moment to savor the excitement and do some research before committing. Trust your instincts – if something feels off about a brand, it probably is. Genuine brands will slide into your DMs rather than lurking in the comment section.

And here’s the cherry on top: promote businesses you genuinely love! There’s nothing more delightful than sharing something you’re passionate about. So, endorse brands because you truly believe in them and their products. Sure, getting a paycheck is a nice bonus, but authenticity is the real sweet spot. After all, we all work hard for our money, so let’s make every purchase count. Use your common sense, stay vigilant against scams, and never hand out your card information like candy.

Finally, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your time and support in reading this blog. Your engagement means the world to me. As always, feel free to leave your comments and share your thoughts – I love hearing from you all!
