This episode is a MUST listen for anyone wanting to get their products into their dream outlets organically, without pay to play or having to know the journalist or outlet! Tune in as shopping/commerce writer, Emily Cieslak, talks about all the ways a small business can get their indie brands into these outlets!Here's What We Cover In the Episode and More:Insights on writing buying guides, focusing on SEO, product selection and expert input. How to pitch products for editorial features, including preparation and timing. Common mistakes in pitching, such as irrelevant pitches. Tips on making pitches stand out:  uniqueness, inclusivity, sustainability. Effective pitching techniques, from subject lines to follow ups. The impact of strong PR strategies on small brands.  Getting into shopping, product or gift guides is all about knowing your audience – and by audience, I mean the editors.

As a child of immigrants who was taught to work hard and value money over everything else, I've spent a lifetime unlearning the narratives that lead me to live by other people's definition of success, and measuring my worth through external measures. From burnout to my healing journey with my mom, I have shared very openly my relationship to re-defining my relationship with money, success, self worth, and how I believe our marketing should be a reflection of our core values. Recently, I attended an event that was very bro marketing which not only lacked any diversity at all, but prioritized MORE IS ALWAYS BETTER and this made me want to record an episode on my reflections on this. Although we live in a world where sometimes the loudest voices get heard or valued, may this episode be an invitation to give yourself permission to define success on your own terms.Here's What We Cover In the Episode and More:Reflection on a $5000 business event experience Diversity issues and lack of representation at the event Focus of the event on selling businesses, not just growthHigh-pressure sales tactics and lack of transparencyPersonal misalignment with extreme capitalist business strategies Value in a more nuanced definition of success Importance of balancing revenue growth with personal well-being and impact Emphasis on bringing humanity back into marketing Encouragement to reflect on personal business goals and valuesAttending a high-cost business event full of aggressive upselling and lacking diversity was a wake up call— authenticity and integrity in business far outweigh any superficial revenue growth. The event's narrow focus on preparing businesses for sale, while sidelining valuable voices, only solidified my belief that success isn't about relentless hustle but about genuine connections and meaningful progress. Let's ditch the cookie-cutter capitalist paradigm and embrace a more nuanced, human-centered approach to business growth. Product Businesses!
