Cowgirl Dust and Diamonds (CDD/www.CDDcustomTack.com) is a very small, one woman shop owned and operated by Erica Smith. As a one woman show (who also works full time at a day job), it is quite difficult to do all that is required to run the shop and advertise on a regular basis. You will need to put forth some work for this ambassadorship. If you cannot commit to this for 12 months, please do not apply. You do NOT just get a bunch of free stuff/discounts, you are rewarded for what you put into this program :)
What we are looking for/Requirements to apply:
* People who LOVE Cowgirl Dust and Diamond Brand Tack. The perfect candidate will already have CDD tack and will be able to testify through their own personal use and experience what they love about CDD. After all, how can you promote a brand you have no experience with? If you do not currently own CDD Brand tack, you must commit to getting something (even a small something like a noseband) in the first 90 days probationary period.
*Minimum of Facebook and instragram social media accounts. TikTok/pinterest/others are all a plus. Social media is where it’s at. I need people who are fluent in different platforms to help spread the word.
*There is no age requirement, however I expect you to tag CDD in all of your equestrian events/posts/photos etc. These tags need to be public or they cannot be viewed by the social media community. If you are a minor you must have your parents permission to do this.
*This must be your only Leather Tack maker ambassadorship for the year.
What you will receive:
* After 30-90 days (subject to change with availability of supplies) you will revieve welcome package that will include window decals, business cards, and other CDD items (subject to availability) for you to use & display.
*you will have the option to buy additional CDD merchandise such as branded jackets, shirts, tumblers, etc.
*special consideration when asking for donation for benefits.
Throughout the year I may reward particular individuals who went above and beyond with items, and / or store credits as I deem worthy. This will be subject to what is on hand and the current budget at my discretion.
* You will be given a Promotional Code to give away (CDDNAME): 10% off for all family, friends, and any other person you advertise to. Each time it is used you will receive 10% of the order as store credit to be used towards a custom purchase. How much money you rack up, depends on how much you help sell. We would love everyone to earn a fully sponsored tack set from CDD. This will be tracked as store credit on your website account.
* AFTER 6 MONTHS PROBATION, A 20% discount on your own custom orders. This is in addition to any store credit you have earned.
* You will be shown as an ambassador on our website/social media with the photo you choose and bio you provide.
What is expected of you as an ambassador?
* Present yourself in good manor. Rude, bad, disrespectful behavior, or poor sportsmanship will result in immediate termination. Remember if you wear our name, you not only represent yourself, but CDD as well. If you are always in the middle of drama or like to air out drama on Socials, you need not apply.
Support your fellow riders, be courteous and kind to people and animals alike. Be someone others can look up to. Be someone that makes CDD proud to sponsor.
* Share any posts, photos, blogs, etc made by CDD on as many social media platforms as you can, as often as you can. These posts must be public so they can be viewed by everyone. This year I am going to require at least 4 posts/shares/etc per month.
* Be familiar with the website and what is offered. Be especially familiar with the “ready to ship” products so you can advertise them as being available now.
*Join the private ambassadors FB group and check in regularly for any news or updates.
* Respond to as many ISO ads as possible with an example picture of what they are looking for. I will track this. You will receive more information regarding this if you are selected.
* When you post about your rides, shows you attend, accomplishments, etc tag www.cddcustomtack.com for the website, @cowgirldustanddiamonds for the facebook page, or #cddbrand for instagram. Make these public.
* While representing CDD, you may NOT accept sponsorships from other custom LEATHER tack makers that make similar items. This would be a conflict of interests for you as a promoter, and make me feel like you are more interested in discounts that supporting one brand. Sponsorships from companies of different products are fine.
* You may share anything I post and add your code, but you may NOT put your code on my posts in the comments. That defeats the purpose of your mission. I already did that work, I need you to take it a step further. Or 2, or 3. :)
Always be tasteful and respectful, ask questions if you need help, etc.
***NOTE: THE PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNT CODES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE PERCENTAGE AS WE SEE HOW WELL THIS DOES OR DOESN’T WORK***
If you are inactive for 3 months without communication with me, your ambassadorship will be cancelled and given to someone else. I realize life happens, so if you can't do something for a time period, just reach out to me and let me know.
If you are selected you will receive an email and/or FB message. I am always overwhelmed with applicants, so I cannot respond to everyone.
Thank you for your interest!
