From tests and beauty gizmos to soothing buckwheat tea, here’s a brief look at what the items in your bag say about working for an affiliate.
07.08, Mayachok, Sempro Fest pre-party — you come in with the thought “I’ll drop by for an hour,” and leave after a dozen acquaintances, three impromptu stand-ups near the prosecco zone, and with a cardholder full of new business cards. We decided to look at the profession from the side: not through presentations and complex professional pitches, but through… handbags. The things that people carry with them on the day of the event can say something unique about them that we would never have known otherwise. So let’s start discussing our friendly “bag raid”!
Her starter pack of a trendy cappuccino handbag seems like it couldn’t be more perfect! A phone, headphones, a merch power bank, keys – a classic, and now the fun begins for the girls! Sabrina advises Chanel concealer, which will save your life in all cases: either when you want to repeat the trendy makeup with the effect of “crying eyes” or, on the contrary, help to hide them. Next are blush, lipstick, and a few lip pencils to match the mood. And a small touch that explains a lot about the rhythm and lifestyle: buckwheat tea “for those who want to calm down without alcohol.”
To be in PR means to live it, to enjoy communication and meetings. So it’s no surprise that my bag is full of business cards! Napkins, e-mail, phone and red lipstick, which also adds to the mood in any situation, because when can red lipstick be superfluous? After filling a bag like this, you should definitely be in a good mood and have a glass of prosecco as a bonus. Natalie definitely knows how to keep the focus on networking and charm with her vibe.
Her job description sounds like “be prepared for anything in the world” – and so does her bag, which contains almost everything in case the world ends. Money for a taxi just in case, pills, a power bank, small cash, an earring… one, then another, an eraser, lipstick, a pencil. There is even a case for microphones: content can happen at any time, well! Its practicality may not be visible in the photo, but the responsible approach is definitely felt, even in the filling of the bag.
We started with meditation and ended with an inventory. A phone, IQOS, used sticks so as not to litter elsewhere, and… test results from the clinic, because 34 is not 18. In general, Oleh gives sincere advice that encompasses a sense of humor and the pains of the affiliate market at the same time: “If you feel that you are leaving morally, don’t hesitate to see a psychiatrist or other doctors.” It is important to take care of your health to be an arbitrage pro without critical burnout and problems. In fast-paced professions, self-care is not a weakness, but a top tool.
Maryna is the kind of person who will definitely wear merchandise if it’s cool: a corporate sanitizer, a gift “steamer” from her partner friends, etc. And, of course, the little things that she won’t feel comfortable without: band-aids, keys, lipstick, and a lip pencil that a colleague gave her. We were surprised to see how such a small bag could fit everything to look gorgeous all day! Although it was easy to take it all out, it was a whole quest to put it back in!
A popcorn-flavored lip gloss, a miniature of your favorite perfume, foundation, glasses, keys, a backstage makeup coupon, and a magnet from Dubai. It’s a brightly colored bag, what can I say! But the star of the bag is not this, but the gifts from girls Maya in the form of leaves, trash cans and other details that were definitely needed by her mother at the event. So the handbag from the Ukrainian designer, which has endured all this with dignity, has successfully passed the crash test. Every item here has a mix of beauty and warmth: there was a piece of home even at the conf.
First of all, autonomy. A phone + headphones + power bank is a set without which you are not in the flow. Secondly, the event means hundreds of shots, speeches, impromptu interviews, so almost every participant has her own beauty kit to be irresistible to the end! Third, social tools. Business cards, merchandise, mini-gifts from each other and from partners are the currency of small talk and interesting conversations that often turn into long-term deals.
That’s why the contents of the bags are different, but similar at the same time. They are all affiliates, so they are almost family!
