Newsletter 40

Dear ambassador,

Welcome to another edition of our ambassador newsletter! Whether you're a seasoned ambassador or a newcomer, we're thrilled to have you here for our bi-weekly catch-up session. This is our chance to celebrate your achievements, share updates, and inject a bit of fun into our day.

As we inch closer to March, it's hard not to reflect on the whirlwind that the first two months of the year have been. If you've been feeling the weight of the season or just the general chaos of life, know that you're not alone. But hey, with spring on the horizon, there's a sense of renewal in the air. And speaking of spring, don't forget to adjust your clocks for daylight savings on March 10th – unless you're lucky enough to be in Arizona or Hawaii, of course!

With longer days ahead, it's the perfect time to show off those tattoos. But remember, while SPF is a year-round necessity, spring underscores its importance. Let's make slathering on that 100% mineral, moisturizing, and reef-friendly formula a daily ritual to ensure our ink stays fresh.

Exciting changes are on the horizon for our ambassador program, and I couldn't be more thrilled. While I can't spill all the beans just yet, I promise you it's going to make your ambassador experience smoother and more rewarding than ever. Keep an eye out for new incentives, rewards, and ways to engage with Team MR. And speaking of rewards, our top March performers will have a special opportunity to collaborate with me on designing the next ambassador reward – something many of you have been eagerly anticipating!

We have a delightful mishmash of updates to share, so fasten your metaphorical seatbelts and prepare to bounce around like a little bouncy ball. Personally, I've just devoured three oranges, so you can imagine the energy level. Anyway... lol.

We'll be dishing out content creation tips, resume hacks, and avenues for support beyond the ambassador program sprinkled throughout, so stick around till the end!

If I did my math correctly, this year is a leap year.
But I don't wanna jump to any conclusions.

Commission Update 💰

For some reason, tattooing tends to slow down during the winter months, which can impact sales. However, as spring starts to bloom, so does your potential to make an impact. Here are some tips for dealing with seasonality:

• Highlight the Benefits for Spring: Stress the importance of proper tattoo care as people shed layers and expose more skin in warmer weather. Emphasize how our products help maintain vibrant colors and prevent fading, particularly relevant as people spend more time outdoors.
  
  
• Educate on Seasonal Care: Offer educational content via blog posts, social media, or newsletters on adjusting tattoo aftercare routines for changing seasons. Provide tips on protecting tattoos from sun exposure, moisturizing dry winter skin, and staying hydrated as temperatures rise. Position our products as essential for year-round tattoo maintenance.
  
  
• Engage with Spring-themed Content: Infuse spring themes into your marketing materials to capture audience attention. Use vibrant colors, nature-inspired imagery, or messaging aligned with renewal and rejuvenation. Engage your audience with interactive content like polls, quizzes, giveaways, or contests related to spring activities.
  
  
• Attend Tattoo Conventions and Events: Take advantage of warmer weather and increased outdoor events by attending tattoo conventions or local festivals. Promote your products directly to tattoo enthusiasts through booths, demonstrations, and distribution of samples or promotional materials.

A big thank you to everyone for your sales efforts, whether it's completing challenges, sharing discount codes, interacting with friends, family, and strangers, or contributing to brand awareness. While I'd love to spotlight each of you, let's shine a light on our top five sellers this time:

Shoutout to our top sellers:

• Matthew Allison
• Matthew Williams
• Dakota Weik
• Autumn Stanley
• Nick Drewe

With the upcoming changes to the ambassador program, we may be adjusting our sales milestone rewards. Therefore, March could be your last chance to redeem these free milestone rewards. To assist you, we'll be launching a new commission milestone challenge on March 1st to provide even more earning opportunities.

Ambassador Post Highlights 🤳

A crucial note on product representation: how you showcase our products directly influences how they're perceived and used. When featuring items like our soothing gel or balm, ensure the focus isn't only on visuals but also on the benefits they provide. This can be achieved through various means such as on-screen text, voice narration, or by demonstrating the positive outcomes on your tattoos, moving beyond captions.

While it’s unlikely that we would ever require you to record yourself on camera, it is my hope that by completing challenges, you will find comfortability in it. If you don’t like being on camera, please use voice-overs and/or on-screen text. Not only does on-screen text make your content more accessible, especially to those who are hearing impaired, but it also allows us to feature your content more easily! Post captions are super important, as is using relevant, trending hashtags, but there’s no way for us to share the amazing educational info in your captions. All the more reason to make sure it’s on-screen!

An update from SocialLadder: For the past 10 days, there have been ongoing challenges related to the Instagram integration, specifically linked to issues with Meta's Graph API – the component crucial for executing Instagram-related challenges and fetching associated data.

Ambassadors who have previously given SocialLadder access to their Instagram or Facebook accounts may be required to reauthorize their accounts to give SocialLadder access. This will happen automatically when they attempt to complete an IG challenge.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out!
