I’ve encountered a few content creators sharing their thoughts about other creators selling their PR products.
If a brand is willing and kind enough to send you an unsolicited PR box that’s exciting. It’s also something very encouraging.
Why is selling PR frowned upon?
I think it’s frowned upon because if a brand sends you an item(s) for free they don’t expect you to profit off of it. Some brands may appreciate you sharing about the PR box and products you were sent.
Some items may be pre-launce products or new-release products. Even if the box includes best sellers it’s still
Selling PR is also a no-no because if you are going to profit off of a free product yet still try to lie about how well the product worked for you doesn’t make sense. How devious do you have to be to lie about an unopened product and how wonder it worked for you?
To me if you’re being deceptive to your followers why would anyone want to believe in what you have to say?
I’d like to add PR can also count free samples as well.
Reseller sites are flooded with PR
I’ve seen several PR items being sold on Amazon by sellers as well as free samples. I’ve also seen several content creators share about PR being sold via sites like Mecari, eBay, and others.
The PR being sold via Amazon has been full value so some boxes can be over $100.
What can you do with PR?
The thing I’ve done with duplicate or extra PR products is share them with friends and family. I think if you’d like to create a giveaway that may be great as well.
It’s a great way to share about the brand with others. It’s also another way to help someone new discover a product they may love.
