We all see the ads every time we take a scroll through Facebook. The small brands that support various organization, animals, or people with some, if not all, of the money from their sales on their boho, outdoorsy, hipster-esque clothes.
To be honest, I fall victim to many of these ads, but I never actually end up buying anything, because...college. I never considered that I could afford the clothing until I checked out one particular brand (and its ambassador program). That brand being Wildin' Clothing Co.
After a quick scroll through their site I knew that I wanted to support their company, and in turn, cause. Wildin' clothing believes that clothing should cause no harm and donates to various causes semi-annually. Some of these recipients of the donations are Defenders of Wildlife, Breast Cancer Patients (specifically during Breast Cancer awareness month), Individuals Experiencing Homelessness, and sponsorship of Environmental Cleanups.
So far they have sponsored 12 different environmental cleanups across the country. The sites of these cleanups range from forests and parks to beaches and highly used and littered areas. During their cleanups, they work side-by-side with those doing the manual labor, which typically includes some of their ambassadors.
One of the reasons supporting Wildin' Clothing Co. is so realistic for me as a college student is the fact that they offer an "Ambassador Program". Essentially, if you apply and agree to post some pictures or promote their company (disclaimer: I am not writing this article because I am an Ambassador for Wildin', I just truly love their company) you get a discount that ranges from 25-30%, depending on the day. And sometimes you can get even better deals (aka your birthday, and other random times). What is even better is that they allow their Ambassadors to use their discount codes on sale items! How many times do sites let you use coupon codes on sale items? The answer to that question: not often!
Because of this opportunity, that I have seized more than willingly, I have been able to purchase a few shirts from Wildin', but I currently only have one shirt. And the only reason for that is because I ordered my second one ten minutes before writing this article. Their shipping is incredibly good, so I'm sure I'll have that one in no time!
But what really solidified my love for this brand was when they offered a free shirt to any student who participated in the National Walkout on March 14 that was done in solidarity with the Parkland shooting victims. Every. Single. Person. who reached out to them and showed them they participated (be it a snap story, anecdote, or photo) got a code for a free shirt. Not many companies are willing to do that and be so vocal about their support/stance for/on controversial topics.
It makes me proud to be a Wildin' Clothing Co. Ambassador.
