my first brand trip?

i was SO honored and excited to go on my first brand trip last weekend! it was a bit of a staycation for me in NYC, but they still picked me up with a private driver and put me up in a hotel, and i met friends from all over the country.

this trip was put together by harpercollins, and on night 1 we toured their office and packed a box full of merch and books to send back home!

i got a bit of swag (plus a personalized tote, water bottle, annotation kit, and hat that i didn’t pack in this box), some signed books, and even some manuscripts!

... Read moreBrand trips are a fantastic opportunity to engage with companies and connect with fellow influencers. My recent experience in New York City included not only delightful swag but also insightful interactions with like-minded individuals from across the nation. The trip organized by HarperCollins introduced me to their headquarters where we engaged in a tour that showcased their vibrant office culture and the world behind publishing. Receiving merchandise such as a personalized tote, water bottle, and signed books made our time even more special. It’s a memorable way to promote literary works while also providing influencers with valuable content to share with their audiences. Special items like early manuscripts and unique annotation kits are often included during such brand trips, elevating the overall experience for attendees. For those interested in bookish pursuits, these trips often form a significant part of promotional efforts. They not only help foster relationships with authors, publishers, and fellow readers, but also encourage discussions around trending literature topics and upcoming releases. Engaging with brands like HarperCollins allows influencers to promote authentic experiences through curated content, making the brand trip a crucial element in modern book marketing. So, whether you’re a seasoned influencer or a budding book lover, participating in brand trips could enhance your community engagement and offer unique opportunities to share your passion for reading.
