Hey ecom Champ,

Here are current media opportunities to help get your products in the right publications in time for Q4! Please take advantage of these opportunities as just one mention can push your store to Page 1 of Google.

Thank you to everyone who responded to our poll last week. You asked for only opportunities in Fashion and Home/Lifestyle so that’s all we’re featuring today. (If you’d like us to cover a different category, please let us know in today’s poll.

If you need a guide for responding to queries you’re interested in, copy and paste this prompt into Chat GPT or any AI tool of your choice. Then construct your response based on this (I prefer this) or ask AI to write it for you:

I'm a PR brand manager for [your online store]. I am pitching our [product name] to [journalist name] from the [publication name] for [query title].

Suggest an outline I should follow to pitch this product in response to [journalist]'s query "[copy/paste full query here]".

P.S. If this landed in your “Junk” folder, unmark as Junk so you don’t miss out on these free Wednesday media opportunities. Pls unsubscribe if it’s too much- no hard feelings!

P.S Here’s a little something to help you get ready for Q4

Your Shopify DTC Brand Can’t Afford Q4 Without Zipchat

BFCM traffic costs a fortune. If your Shopify brand isn’t converting at its possible best, you’re not just losing sales — you’re burning money and shrinking Q4 margins.

  • Closes hesitant shoppers instantly with product answers and recommendations

  • Recovers abandoned carts automatically via web + WhatsApp

  • Automates support 24/7 so you scale without extra headcount

  • Boosts profit margins in Q4, when every order counts

That’s why brands like Police, TropicFeel, and Jackery — brands with 10k visitors/month to millions — trust Zipchat to handle their busiest quarter and fully embrace Agentic Commerce.

Setup takes less than 20 minutes with our success manager. And you’re fully covered with 37 days risk-free (7-day free trial + 30-day money-back guarantee).
