Your college career is the perfect time to become a representative for one of your favorite brands! Many businesses and organizations are hopping on board to get the word out about their company. Your 20’s are the perfect time to discover what you’re passionate about and what causes you want to represent. So check out some of the tips below if you’re interested in free merch, and making a little extra cash here and there!

 

 

 

If you’re a fashionista…

Why not rep Victoria’s Secret Pink?! You can stay up to date on the latest trends, be the first to know about new products and add it to your résumé. For Pink, being a rep includes frequently posting on social media, attending local events in stores, and hosting your own events. It’s a great opportunity if you’re studying business, marketing or advertising.  

 

 

If you are into protecting marine life (and care about our oceans)…

Sand Cloud is an organization that sells everything from beach blankets to water bottles. They donate 10% of their proceeds to preserving marine life, and partner with organizations such as: Surfrider Foundation, Pacific (Marine Mammal Center), and San Diego Coastkeeper.

 

As a rep for Sand Cloud, you’ll post to social media regularly, and be able to share your rep code with friends and family and receive discounts on purchases. There is also a point/rewards system where you can earn free goodies by completing different tasks (such as “liking” Sand Cloud on Facebook or “following” Sand Cloud on Instagram).

 

 

 

If you like helping third-world countries…

Pura Vida sells bracelets made by local artisans in Costa Rica (along with other merchandise, such as apparel). With every bracelet purchased, Pura Vida helps employ artisans full-time.

 

As a rep, you’ll post to social media, give out your rep code for discounts, and host events and fundraisers. Being a rep for Pura Vida is so versatile; you can do as much or as little with it as you would like. Plus, every time someone makes a purchase with your code, you’ll receive a part of commission for that purchase.

 

 

If you have any questions, I am a rep for both Pura Vida and an ambassador for Sand Cloud. They are incredible organizations that I am so happy to be a part of!
