What is product placement? Product placement is another form of marketing for your company. In exchange to have your product placed or distributed to celebrities, musicians, the media and retail buyers, you will provide product from your company. It will be sent directly to the celebrity, media or buyer for their review/use. You may or may not receive a response from the gifting recipient, but we work with the reps to ensure prompt delivery and confirmations. As with all marketing campaigns please be patient.
How will it celebrity product placement benefit my company? There are no guarantees with any marketing campaigns and you should treat this opportunity just as you would any other marketing or advertising endeavor. While some celebrities may send you a “thank you” card, picture or they may even be seen wearing your product . . . . .most probably won’t. You will have to decide what’s best for you and your company.
How many items do I have to send? It will vary depending upon the placement, please see each opporotunity for the specifics.
What is the cost to participate? It will vary depending upon the placement, please check each opporotunity to see if there is a fee. There are no long term contracts, no hidden fees and no membership fees, when working with Burt + Brewington Creative Agency.
What is needed in order for my company to participate? You decide what you’d like to send for each placement, however if there are any specific requests, it will be posted with each product placement opporotunity.
