How does $1,600 in small shop prizes sound to you?  You could be one of six lucky reps to share these AMAZING prizes from a bunch of great small shops!  Keep reading to find out how to enter!

When I decided to open a small online shop in 2014, I started out like most other shop owners… with big dreams and a very small amount of cash.  I had decided to leave my full time job and try to make it as my own boss.  It was the scariest time of my life.  Although I knew we had great products and a pretty decent website, I had no idea how I could possibly get the word out about our new family business.  Advertising and marketing wasn’t something I had the money for, but I knew that without it, there would be no sales.  I was determined to make it though, no matter what.

I tried posting on Facebook, hoping that our friends and family would share with their friends and family.  But a week and maybe two sales later, I knew that it wasn’t enough and unless we were going to eat Ramen Noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we needed to grow our business faster than that.  While I love Ramen Noodles, there are only so many you can eat, you know?! I knew I needed to turn this small shop into a 2nd income for our family.  This wasn’t just something I wanted, it was something I needed.  Things felt hopeless until I stumbled across a small article talking about brand reps.  I was immediately intrigued and wasted no time.  Our first brand rep search was posted the following day.  I had no idea what I was doing, but I dove right in and it was the best decision I ever made.

Fast forward three years to today… I have worked with so many different Mamas and even a few Dads.  While I was looking for a business relationship that provided advertising and photos in exchange for free or discounted items, I wound up finding so much more in these amazing humans… I found support, friendships, laughter, shoulders to cry on and a sincere love for small shops and their owners that I never knew existed.  Without each of them, I am not sure where I would be or where my family would be.  I’m not sure how I would have paid my bills, been able to take the girls to extra curricular activities or even have enough money to buy food some weeks, I kid you not.  When things were looking dim, my brand rep team was the sunshine, lighting the way for my small business.  They kept me motivated and gave me the strength to keep going.

Life gets hectic, especially for small shop owners and we may forget to stop and appreciate the important people in our lives.   While we may not say it enough, I’m sure I can speak on behalf of most small shop owners in saying that without our brand reps, we wouldn’t have a small business!  We wouldn’t have beautiful images to share on our social media and on our website.   We wouldn’t have the new customers that they brought in through promotion, pictures and word of mouth.  We wouldn’t have a strong group of people to bounce ideas off of. We wouldn’t have the honesty and sincere concern for our well-being, like we do because of them.  We wouldn’t have the option to spend more time with our families instead of working a 9-5 (or two) every day.  Our brand reps are the backbone of our small shop.  They are the real heroes and it’s time we shouted it from the roof tops!

Let’s take a moment to celebrate each and every person that takes time of their day to take and edit pictures, share our images and images of their family in/with our products, interact on our social media feeds and talk to others about the small shops they love.  Let’s tell them how amazing and appreciated they really are!  And to my personal team, I love you all from the bottom of my heart!  (go check them out, they ROCK!).

Thank you brand reps, for your loyalty, your love and your time.  We LOVE you!

Hello There!

Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing). I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.

Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.

Welcome to The Super Mom Life — where the projects are fun, the coffee is strong, and the laughter is pretty much required for survival. Don't forget to follow us on social media!

  • Hi ??,

    @dreamingkids here! I would like to nominate 3 of my brand reps.

    1) @kaedence_marie
    I have been working with her for about a year Kaedence can model anything from a lace dress to one of our harem pants. The images her mom sends me are always so great and professional that I never have to ask her to re shoot. Her mom is the sweetest she even gives me ideas for some new styles ?.

    2) @breezystyle
    This past year I have send her so many items and I usually receive about 20-30 images per outfit I don’t know how mom does it. Super sweet and they go above and beyond to work with my time frame.

    3) @iamsirkingsley
    I had the pleasure to meet him and his whole family in our first photo shoot they are the sweetest. He can rock any outfit and his posses are just perfect ?. He’s the cutest little dancer and is always wearing our harem pants to his classes. The quickest TUT can even shoot the same day ?.

  • I’m Annie from @Vazzietees and I’m nominating Jamie & Brynna from @beingbrynna.
    I “met” Jamie & Brynna as customers when we designed a special Seven & Sassy tee for Bynnas 7th birthday. When we introduced Brand Reps, they were one of our first Reps. Jamie and Brynna are the absolute best Brand Duo to have on your team. They have been so supportive of our brand and our growth along the way. They go above and beyond providing us with amazing photos with a quick turnaround and support us through shares just because. Jamie has recently started helping us with interactions/comments/likes and has been a tremendous help! We are beyond blessed to have them on our team supporting us. I wish I could nominate them a thousand times over because this duo truly reserves this nomination.
