Everyone loves some figgy pudding, but how about this Fig? 🌰 Give the gift of poetry to soothe the soul ☺️ and commentary to enlighten the mind🧐. A subscription to Fig is the perfect gift this year. πŸŽ€

Love this prompt! I just sent out a press release last week hoping to land our drink on a holiday gift guide. 🀞🏽

Thanks for your guidance and encouragement, Lucy!

Amazing - definitely have a look at the linked article at the top for help with pitching as we include a sample pitch email in that too. A press release is great but a tailored pitch is the magic!

Hi this is fab! So here's mine 😊

Tired of the same old Christmas cards? Wanna ditch the boring and bring on the bling (or at least some festive cheer)? ✨

Well, buckle up, buttercup, because I've got the perfect solution! Forget those generic greetings - these ain't your grandma's Christmas cards! ‍♀️

Here's the lowdown:

* Unique & Original: Ditch the predictable and embrace a quirky collage postcard featuring a sassy 1950s woman rocking my signature floral crown - with a festive Christmas twist, of course!

* Personal Flair: Add a touch of sass to your season's greetings and stand out from the crowd. These postcards are guaranteed to make your loved ones laugh (or at least raise an eyebrow ).

I love this for a direct to consumer pitch and for socials, for press I think you can get straight to the lowdown and don't forget to include a RRP.

Thanks Lucy! I'm not sure about who to contact press wise! I've never quite got Christmas pr right even when I owned my other business!

I think when I say 'press' I am not always talking about magazines and newspapers. Perhaps you are a member of network or group and they have a newsletter, or a post from members or a suitable destination like that?

Perfect topic for my book! It's called The Festive Belgian Bakery - Holiday Edition and can be found here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Festive-Belgian-Bakery-Chocolate-biscuits/dp/B0CP5YSWFZ/ . Categories including baking, 'gifts for her' even though I don't really like those gendered categories, slow and seasonal living, themed party planning, people who emigrated to another country...

The Festive Belgian Bakery - Holiday Edition is the perfect book for anyone who wants to recreate the magic of a Belgian bakery during the holiday season at home, no matter where they live.
