Product Review: Design Essentials Natural

I recently tried Design Essentials Natural "Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Jojoba." I LOVE IT!! Now as some of you all don't know, I have cut my locs and am now rocking a little blonde-brown fro. I use the Daily Moisturizing Lotion after I co-wash in the morning. I get a nice bit in the palm of my hand and work into my hair. It really locks my curl into that beautiful curl it has when it's first wet. The curl definition is awesome and I get all that without a drying effect. My hair still looks hydrated. I have even been stopped to ask what do I use in my hair :) Also, not to mention: the price point is amazing, 8oz bottle for under $15!!

So I give Design Essentials 5 out of 5 stars for this one!

I need you!!

Naturalprenuer Tuesdays - 5 Tips When Sending Product Samples to Bloggers or Stylist

Happy Naturalprenuer Tuesday!!


5 Tips When Sending Product Samples to Bloggers/Hair Stylist

I recently discussed this on Nappturalite Radio:

1. Research!
Do your research before you send a product. Be sure to check their blog, website, facebook and/or twitter to better understand their influence. Maybe even visit the salon. Also make sure you understand their audience or clientele.
   
2. Start communicating with stylist or blogger.

Approach them professionally. Whether by email or in person. Make sure you are professional, you are a representation of your brand.

*With emails, make sure you send info about your brand. Especially website!

*If you use FB or twitter for the initial contact, make sure to get an email or phone number to communicate with them further.  

Once communication is in motion:
Set up date and time, to do presentation of product (if a salon/stylist)
Or inform the blogger of when you will ship the item and what they should expect in the shipment.



3. Send your BEST!
Again you are representing YOUR brand. Make sure to include marketing (business cards, literature, etc). Make sure you send bottles that are professional with appropriate, legible labels.



4. Follow Up!

Confirm the shipment has been received. Answer any questions they may have about the product. Set up date and time, to go over the review.

*And this timing will vary. Sometimes I get product that I won’t use for a few weeks after I get it because I may already have a similar product in use.



5. Final follow up!
Go over the review. Whether good or bad, use the feedback as a tool to better your business!!
