Stepping Into the Best Year of Your Life 💥

Well as long as you’re not a Sephora employee or a Gen Alpha using up all the tester products at Sephora, it seems we’re off to a good start to the year. We’ve officially made it past the first working Monday of the year which means that our brand contacts are back in office and ready to answer all our pitches, approve our content, and start getting us paid. 

WE’RE OFFICIALLY ON THE APPLE APP STORE 📲

Yup, big news besties! Here’s what you need to know ↓

Head to the Apple App Store and use one of the following search terms to find us: “canopy”, “under the canopy”, “canopy creator”, or “canopy creator community”

As a reminder, we'll be closing the TestFlight version of the app at the end of this month. For existing TestFlight users, once you download Canopy from the app store you'll be able to login with your usual details, and all your posts will still be there!

We’re starting 2024 by making fun of ourselves. And I say OURSELVES because we’re not trying to get canceled walking into the new year. I’ve been giggling to myself watching all the new takes on Kelly Osborne’s less than appropriate comment on The View years ago. Don’t know what I’m referencing? This is what I’m talking about. Or maybe this one?

Here’s the template you can follow, “If you kick out every _______ in the country, who is going to make your _____”.

Changes to TikTok Shop & How it Impacts You 🛍

By now, we all know about TikTok Shop. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it seems like every other post is TikTok Shop related.

TikTok recently announced that they are moving to an 8% commission on most items as opposed to the 2% they were charging in the past few months. 

With more money coming through, it’s likely that posts promoting products might be favored in the algorithm. Feels like the time to experiment with posting including products from TikTok Shop!

Until Next Time…
