I'll put in next week's eNews, and if I see it on FB I'll share!

YAY Dami! Congrats! I just queued them up to post to social media!

Launching a new product… especially if it's different from what you carry but works with it…

You should be proud CC! That's completely awesome 🙂 She obviously takes after you 🙂

How about tips for approaching others to talk about your work on their blog or social media accounts – getting help to spread the word on something new.
