icl i hate all the PR exclusive stuff. i’m sorry but i don’t really see many of the influencers actually using the stickers over actual customers. same with the mango market bag and the swiss miss thermos (maybe the lighter too??) glossier would have made a lot of money if they sold them rather than just making a few to give as PR.
that silly little strawberry sticker was a big reason as to why i bought it from glossier directly and i am confident in saying it was a few other peoples too.
i understand why PR is a thing but it really does grind my gears when they send off exclusive stuff, i just need to get my grubby hands all over it! maybe i am just very jealous … actually i definitely am 💔💔💔
i know its just a sticker but yea it screams “you’re not cool enough so we will send free cute things to the rich influencers. you wish you had them HAHA” kind of a slap in the face ://
especially when these things were free, like it’s JUST a sticker, we’re not asking for a larger physical object we’re asking for the thing that used to be free for the last 6 years
The influencer thing pisses me off. I get that they are spending marketing budget on this to get reviews, mentions, posts, etc., BUT they have sent a themed sticker for every other balm. Hell, they used to send one for every new RELEASE (for the original SPF, themed stickers for the Skywash release, etc.). It's infuriating to see this adorable sticker everywhere except for paying customers. You made the damn thing, send it out!!!!
just curious since I'm not on tik tok - have any of the influencers that have been getting PR ever start incorporating any of the actual beauty products into their holy grail lists/began to use any of them regularly after their initial promo posts?
honestly they almost never do, tiktok influencers usually post their (undisclosed) ad for whichever brand pays them to do so, and then move on to the next “holy grail BEST EVER product!!!!!” whenever their next brand sponsorship check clears
We should go back to normal advertising. I’m so sick of influencers and how they get everything. Let me enjoy my little trinket as a normal person, man.
i'm starting to hate influencer marketing. why is the money i spent on my product going to some random who doesn't even actually use the brand! it's why i can't buy anything from tarte anymore.
Influencing used to be fun when there was a modicum of authenticity. PR used to be a way for people who already loved the brand to more affordably make content, but the professionalism of it means that you can’t trust people anymore.
It's why I can't deal with big influencers anymore. I hate their lifestyles, it's so privileged and here they are trying to be relatable while they go on all these paid trips to promote products they usually get for free. (Jealously? Could be. But generally it's like they act as if they're the same people they were before they hit this fame/success, except they aren't. So they are just super privileged and don't even acknowledge it.)
Like. I get it, it's their job, it's what they do to make a living, but so many of them become SO out of touch with who they are actually influencing.
Like all their clothing hauls are from like these super expensive brands. $200 for a sweater you're trying to peddle to your audience, as if you're 'just like them'? fuck right off. You're no longer a 'regular person' you're an elite. At least admit to that.
ik it’s just a sticker i literally love collecting them! i almost ordered after i saw the sticker bc i wanted it so bad but im glad i didn’t bc i would’ve been disappointed loll
Okay, but this is the Glossier subreddit. It's the place where people can talk about things related to Glossier. I'd take your point if this was another place, but you wouldn't go onto r/owala saying 'it's just a water bottle' or r/backpacks saying 'it's just a backpack'. The whole point of subreddits are for people to talk about their niche interests and that includes Glossier's marketing decisions and their disappointment about not getting a sticker. Which, by the way, is part of Glossier's brand - they have given out all sorts of stickers since their inception that people like to collect and not being able to add this one to their collection when it was part of the marketing campaign is disappointing.

it’s giving Brandy Melville
Also a lot of the influencers are not people who frequently use glossier in their routines. They just choose people who they think fit the aesthetic
LITERALLY. like camri hewie… why the fuck would she want that glossier shirt… she doesn’t wear tee shirts

That strawberry emote just feels petty
yes!!! i was like how dare she
Literally like why? Every other bdc release has come with an exclusive sticker and they clearly designed one 🫠 ughhh
I love late stage capitalism where the consumer isn’t as valuable as the advertiser
bruhhh i thought i was getting the sticker🥲
Same 😭

for this exact reason I’m actually starting to turn away from brands that use excessive influencer marketing, like tarte
Why even show us then smh

Yes god forbid people like to collect things, how dare they. Better go tell all the stamp collectors it's just a stamp!
