While working on Cozy Haven today, I started thinking about some posts on social media about people leaving sponsors without a word or a “thank you.” This behavior is rude to just leave without telling them that you can’t do it anymore. They don’t even need to know the full reason why, just that you can’t. I recently made the hard decision to leave several sponsors because, for one, I had taken on way too much, not just for my blog but for other areas as well.
I didn’t have time to even sit back and enjoy myself in between posts. I was doing a post and then I was setting up a new post. When you don’t have time to take a breather and just enjoy your time with a loved one or even just having some “me time” then it’s time to take stock. Having 20 or more sponsors that are all the same genre and not spread out over several different kinds can create a bottleneck on your time.
How to Leave Sponsors the Right Way
When I see a sponsor talk about a blogger who left without a word or who took items and then just leaves the group/Blogotex, I feel bad. It makes all bloggers look bad to some designers. And face it, this is partly a hobby but it’s also my SL job. It’s how I get to tell the stories that is floating around in my head. It’s how I get to express my inner feelings and thoughts.
It’s not only displaying their product the best that I can, it is telling a story. Every picture on my blog, you can see a story. You can tell what I am feeling or what thoughts are floating in my head. It’s how I express myself. And I wouldn’t be able to do that without my sponsors and friends who have items that I want to add to my story! So, here’s my little love letter to my sponsors, both past and present!
Thank you! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication! Thank you for doing what you do and for giving me the chance to tell the story that expresses what is going on in my mind. Thank you for being you. And above all, thank you for having me on your team. ♥ LA ♥
