Already I am thinking about this years event, although considering I bought my ticket as soon as they were released last year, this is not a surprise!
Last year I was sponsored by the online baby boutique The Essential One and I was thrilled to be part of their brand. Thanks to them I was able to attend the event and learn so much which I could then report back to them with and hopefully help them pick up a few things too. I also wrote several posts about their brand and worked alongside them with several campaigns. Unfortunately Baby J is now too old for their clothes so I am on the look out for a new company to work with.
I have now been blogging three years, although and I can barely believe it, and whilst I would not regard myself as I pro, I feel I know my way around pretty well. I have a significant following on twitter and over the last year have familiarised myself with Instagram and Pinterest as well as building my Facebook fan page. I am now trying to start vlogging and have set up a YouTube channel and tentatively dipped my toe in the waters. Over and over again I read that YouTube is set to be huge in 2014 and with it already having 1 billion subscribers, second only to Facebook, I feel it is the place to be and am excited to learn and share more.
So down to the nitty gritty. For any brands who aren't sure what Britmums Live is all about, it is the UK’s biggest, two-day social media conference and blogger event taking place on 20th & 21st June 2014, devoted entirely to a parenting audience and run by the UK’s largest parent blogging network of more than 4k influential and engaged bloggers. That's some pretty big numbers! For my sponsorship I am looking for my ticket price to be covered (£65), my train fare (around £90) and my hotel (£60), which is a grand total of £215.
And what would you get in return?
