Through photo and video content posted to Facebook, Instagram, and her blog, she was able to generate buzz and inspire shoppers.
Erin introduced her partnership with Home Centric and shared the benefits of joining the virtual line by entering your email; Shoppers could earn up to $25 to spend in-store and were entered to win a $500 shopping spree!
