{"id":1130,"title":"How to get featured on Teemill's social media","description":"Learn about what we look for and what to do if you want us to get behind your brand and help you with some free publicity via Teemill.","content":"

Teemill is built in a way that gives you total freedom to be your own brand, and most people run their stores without mentioning the fact that Teemill is involved behind the scenes.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Sometimes though people might ask us to help promote their store with a shoutout on our blog, website, newsletter or social media channels - and even with paid ads. To do that we look for stores that are inspiring, or a really good example of how to make the best use of Teemill, and this blog explains what we look for - and what to do - if you want us to get behind your brand and help you with loads of free publicity from us.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

If you want to be featured, make sure your photography<\/a>, store and social media all look amazing.<\/strong><\/p>

First we\u2019ll start with why we share stuff in the first place. It\u2019s because lots of people out there follow Teemill, both store owners and people who\u2019ve bought from store owners. In either case, they expect us to share really cool stuff. Like the coolest, most amazing and totally awesome stuff. They expect the best, so for you to get a shout out your store needs to be really high quality. So, what does high quality mean to us?<\/p>

The first thing is the quality of the photography on your store and on your social media. We need really high quality photos to show off your brand - and for our recommendation to stick when they go to your socials, they\u2019ll have to look great too.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Using our mock ups is doing the minimum, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. But everyone can do it. We\u2019re looking for people who are ambitious, serious, and building something inspiring. That means you\u2019ll have lots of great original photography or original design and brand identity (or both).<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

It\u2019s not just great photos that matter. We also look for stores that are the complete package. A clean, neat homepage, with simple and easy navigation, and original creative writing. We want to share stores that look unique and professional.<\/p>

\"\"\"\"<\/p>

Tell us your story.<\/strong><\/p>

It helps if you have a story to tell. It might be that you are raising funds for a cause, or your brand is speaking up about an issue, or you might just be an incredibly talented artist or illustrator with thumb-stopping designs. Whatever you are doing, we want to hear about your brand, values and why you're different.<\/p>

\"We share stories, not products\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

It might be that your brand has a clever strategy too, like using Place.it to create nifty social media videos, or you might have launched a podcast, got some press or have a clever marketing strategy.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Make it easy for us to find your content.<\/strong><\/p>

Lastly, make us aware that your brand is out there and make it easy for our social teams to help you. If you DM us and ask, our teams need to go figure out and build a post from scratch which doesn\u2019t work for us. It\u2019s much more effective for us to share, repost or link back to your original content, so post your best photo and your story then tag us at the bottom or share the public post with us so that we can repost, retweet or include in our mail campaigns.<\/p>

In your post, make sure you include great photos, and link to your store, so that when we send traffic to the post, people can click through to your store and shop your collection. And although we can't share everything that we get tagged in, we love seeing what great brands like you are getting up to anyway.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

If you feel like your store is really well set up, you have bags of great designs and high quality images, and want us to help you out, tag us or send us a post that we can share. If it\u2019s awesome, we\u2019d be happy to help send you a whole load of traffic.<\/p>
