US and International Shipping Announcement

[Matthew_Mayers]

Hi everybody,

My store, Prismland, is preparing to officially announce the availability of US and International shipping (previously only available in Canada). I was hoping you might be able to provide some suggestions as to how we can make the announcement successful. Here are some things we're planning on doing already:

• Email newsletter to subscribers
• Social media posts (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter)
• Reach out to influencers and bloggers that we've worked with in the past to help spread the word
• Contact new influencers and bloggers (looking for insight into finding Instagram influencers in particular)
• Press release (used free services in the past, any suggestions for paid ones? Are they worth it?)

All suggestions are appreciated!

Matthew
