Hey Mitch,
I’m reaching out to you for your dad expertise!
I have a client who sells the original recipe hot dog from 1867 (all natural, no nitrates-added, no fillers) and I want to know if you would be interested in receiving a free sample and reviewing it?
It’s honestly delicious and has a ton of press already. Just google Feltman’s of Coney Island and you’ll see for yourself. We’ll send you the money to purchase and all you have to do is post about it with your honest opinion.
Let me know what you think!
Best,
Marcus says
It’s nice to see this picture. Not every family get’s the opportunity to do this.

Hi there,
Jonathan here from Shinesty. I noticed some of your blog articles and would love to work with you in preparation for Father’s Day. I think our men’s underwear collection would be a great addition to your site! With Father’s Day rapidly approaching, would you and your team be interested in featuring our men’s exclusive underwear collection on your site?
What better gift for dad than getting the utmost comfort out of his cozy men’s underwear (Imagery here). Not only do we have cooling and comfortable underwear, but they come in various styles as well, boxers, briefs, trunks, and long leg boxers…and styles in matching sets. Check out our collection page and let me know what you think! If underwear doesn’t interest you we have many more options to choose from on our site.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions or inquiries for more samples. Hopefully we can work together in the near future.
Shine On,
Jonathan H.
