Lots of nail techs have created their own product lines and if you’re one of them, then The Spa Buzz has an opportunity for you to get your brand in front of beauty decision-makers at one of its regional networking events.

For the first time, The Spa Buzz, a professional and consumer spa company that hosts networking events (happy hours, speaker series, mixers, etc.) around the country, is launching a "Is Your Brand Buzzworthy?" contest. The contest asks entrants to pitch your spa product and explain the background behind it. You can include video, pictures, testimonials, etc. in your submission. Your entry doesn’t have to be mass produced, but, if chosen, you will have to supply 100 samples of your product, which will be placed in a Buzzworthy gift bag. "The Spa Buzz has always focused on connecting spa professionals together. We are excited to branch out with this contest and make connections not only between professionals, but also with consumers. This contest is all about finding the hidden gems in the spa industry and will be a great way to introduce these emerging brands to the public," says Kristi Konieczny, The Spa Buzz founder.

The winner gets a sponsorship (valued at $2,500) at The Spa Buzz networking event of her choice. (Previous cities that have hosted The Spa Buzz events include Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Seattle, Vancouver, Miami, Chicago, and more.) At the networking event, your product will be spotlighted, you’ll meet with movers and shakers of the spa industry, and your product will be featured on The Spa Buzz website. Previous companies that have sponsored The Spa Buzz events include Sparitual, Ageless Esthetics, and Xpress Smile.
