The amount of impersonal, copy and paste messages I receive not just asking for, but DEMANDING free cookies is genuinely wild.
I'm a one-woman small business working with small profit margins, competing against larger businesses, and trying to support myself doing something I love. I don't have a marketing budget or endless "stock" to hand out. Everything is made to order, costs me money, and HOURS of work.
I host giveaways, offer discounts and give extras when I can and honestly, I WISH I could give everyone free cookies and brownies because I know how delicious they are 😅 but if you genuinely want to support my small business, please place an order, leave a review or share a post.
I've gifted products for exposure before and received nothing in return (lesson learnt). I'm no longer giving away my time, money and hard work on the possibility of exposure. And yes, I've literally had people/businesses ghost me AFTER receiving the goods! 🫣
I LOVE genuine collaborations and supporting other businesses and content creators, but this doesn't automatically entitle you to free products.
Exposure doesn't pay my bills, orders do 🩷
And to everyone who purchases from me simply because you love what I do, THANK YOU. Your support keeps my little dream going 🫶🏻
