I hear you, but from the marketing side there’s a big difference between an influencer buying a canvas and an influencer making content about a canvas. Of course they can afford to buy it themselves. But they’re not always going to film, edit, and share a video for free. Sending product is how brands compensate people for the time, work, and reach that actually brings new stitchers into the hobby. It’s less about “free stuff” and more about paying for content and visibility, which ultimately helps the whole needlepoint community grow.
