- 40% discount to use all year long, that will be applied to the Headsweats website for ambassador personal use only.
- Consumer Advisory Panel Inspire for a chance to be the first to test products in the design phase as well as products ready to be added to the Headsweats catalog. This will give the Brand Ambassador a chance to try or buy products before they are available to the public.
- Early Access to Summer and Fall Brand Ambassador Product and Special Pricing on these additional Brand Ambassador collections released throughout the year.
- Family: We treat our Brand Ambassadors like family because they are our family. We are here to support, help perfect content and grow our ambassadors’ audiences.
