Feb 27,2020 | Kim Horton

Equestrian Brand Ambassador

 

EQUUS is delighted to announce the launch of its exclusive Equestrian Brand Ambassador program. We'd love to hear from you if you've been looking for an opportunity to combine your passion for horses with a role that rewards you with commission.Read on to find out more about this rare opportunity...

Want to be an EQUUS Brand Ambassador?

Most of us have noticed a change in the way the equestrian community helps to  market brands and products to prospective customers. Once upon a time this was just via Sponsored Riders, but now there are Brand Ambassadors and Influencers as well. If you’re considering one of these roles, knowing more about each one is probably a good idea.

What’s the difference between a Sponsored Rider, an Influencer and a Brand Ambassador?

A Sponsored Rider receives products and donations to help fund their sport. They’re usually riders that are out competing so that their sponsor’s brand gets exposure to other equestrians, i.e. via branding on saddle pads, jackets etc.

An Influencer is as its name suggests, i.e able to “influence” their network of friends, family and fellow equestrians to buy certain products. This is usually because their opinion is valued and respected. Quite often instructors are people of influence as they're trusted.

A Brand Ambassador is an advocate for the brand they represent. They don’t get “paid” as such for what they do, but they do get a “package” of benefits.

Why are we looking for Brand Ambassadors?

The reason why we’re looking for Brand Ambassadors is because we’re trying to connect with passionate riders or horse owners who are at the heart of their local equestrian community, so they can tell other equestrians what we do, i.e. we provide great blogs about problems they’re struggling with, as well as great range of products, all with free and fast UK delivery on all orders over £20.

What does being an EQUUS Brand Ambassador involve?

Being at the heart of your local equestrian community means that:

  • You’ll be expected to promote EQUUS in your local equestrian community, i.e. at the stables where you ride or keep your horse, at your riding club, at local shows etc, as well as online via social media.
  • Use your initiative and be able to work without supervision to engage with potential customers without being asked to do so, follow up with them to check if they need help with products that they are considering buying, monitor customer satisfaction and obtain reviews.

What characteristics are EQUUS looking for in their Brand Ambassadors?

Getting the word out about EQUUS in your local equestrian community will be challenging and hard work in this massively competitive market. So, to be successful, you’ll need to demonstrate the following characteristics:

#1 Reflect EQUUS’s personality

You personally need to reflect the values and personality of our brand. For prospective customers to understand what the purpose of EQUUS is, you need to be able to articulate these yourself to be convincing and authentic.

#2 Demonstrate the marketing objective of this role

You need to have a sociable personality with an approachable demeanour and be able to market EQUUS – the real objective of this role. This doesn’t mean you need a degree in marketing before you can apply! In fact, it’s not necessary at all for this position. What is necessary, however, is a basic understanding of our core messages. Full training will be given on this.

#3 Be passionate

Your passion for all things equestrian will be genuine, infectious and energetic.

Is there anything else that is required?

To be considered for this exciting opportunity, you need to:
