trying to sell skymobile spacewatch ? gps trackers for kids
2 days before christmas?

these watches retail at £200 or i believe you can get them on a contract

quite a few influencers have been gifted them to try and no doubt flog to the skint parents, guilt tripping them into feeling they are a must have

is this right? surely most parents are now done for christmas and most children won't get anymore gifts until their next birthday.

Maybe they'll be reduced and then they can push that part? It would be a shot present for a child anyway!

I saw a post by one instamum (I can't remember who) saying it's because these companies look at their marketing budgets at this time of year, realise they have a bit left and throw it at the influencers, sometimes at quite short notice. I've noticed a few ads for the sky watch thingy too. The instamum also said that her and others generally accept more offers for ads at this time of year because it's quiet in January. Makes sense really.

But yeah I don't know who would see the ads and think "great I'll swap the bike for a tracker watch, DD will love that!"

so its down to budgets.....how can these influencers align this with their conscience

they all seem to say they only work with brands/goods they believe in then you never seethe itemise their blogs/stories again. its clearly for the money, sod the parents who are left feeling shit cos they can't afford it all....they are all just back from gifted trips to center parks
