OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE GUEST POSTS

Love to have you write guest posts

If you have reached this page, I've either been in touch with you to write for our blog, upcoming e-Zine, or you're seeking a guest post opportunity to expand the reach of your own brand. However you came to this page, I'm glad you're here! 
​
My goal is to provide my readers with high quality content that they can use to educate themselves on the important aspects related to visibility (from the customer's first experience with someone's social media platform and website, through follow up in their offices), best practices for an exceptional customer experience and more. Below you will find the guidelines Carrie+Co. uses for all Guest Experts’ content. Please look them over, and if you're still interested in contributing a guest piece, please email me at [email protected] with the subject: Let's Blog, followed by your topic (for example: Let's Blog CX – Do's and Don'ts). I'll be in touch with you as soon as I can.
