How to Participate
Each month, APPA members receive a dedicated email announcing upcoming spotlight opportunities. These emails include information on the theme(s) and a form link to submit products and accompanying photos.
Our PR team at FWV Fetching compiles these product submissions into a press release for distribution nationwide, with each release getting picked up by more than 100 publications across the country and reaching millions of readers. Releases have appeared in national outlets like Yahoo! News, and MarketWatch, in addition to hundreds of local publications. Participating members receive a 30-day report containing a list of outlets that picked up the release.
In addition, FWV Fetching conducts targeted pitching and outreach to secure additional coverage and interest, leveraging the agency’s strong media relationships to gain additional exposure for our members.
