Great Father’s Day gifts are hard to find

We’re calling it like it is - finding the right gift for Dad is much harder than finding one for Mom

Father’s Day is just around the corner and so the search begins for the right gift for Dad - made even more difficult in the time of COVID-19. There are only so many BBQ tools you can buy, and with social distancing and stay-at-home orders in place golfing, baseball and many other dad-activities aren’t available. So what are you going to do?

Answer - look no further than what Stars are offering on Starsona, a platform where they provide personalized experiences for their fans. And what Dad isn’t a fan of someone or something? From interesting Stars to a unique product category called “Fun Stuff”, there’s plenty of awesome finds for Dad this year.

Personalized video shoutouts from well-known athletes are exciting and at your fingertips.  From football legends like 49er and Hall of Famer Steve Young, Bronco legend Champ Bailey,  Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and Giants great Leonard Marshall to basketball superstars Raptors Kyle Lowry, Clippers Kawhi Leonard and Paul George or even NBA All Star Dominique Wilkins. If you’re looking for that professional announcer feel, there’s Randy Hahn, voice of the San Jose Sharks, or Jerome Jurenovich from FOX Sports.

If you’re not sure whom to request, maybe a unique experience will help make your decision easier. Starsona’s newest category, Fun Stuff, has some pretty cool offerings. Basically Fun Stuff is anything “fun” a Star wants to offer that can be delivered digitally to the fan - perfect during isolation! We pulled some interesting examples to provide a quick glance of the possibilities.

Hello from a Star is just a DM away

Ever wanted to DM a Star or popular influencer and actually get a response?

We are connected now more than ever given the myriad of available social media channels. We follow people we’re interested in, look up to, or just enjoy being a fan of. However, it’s nearly impossible to hear directly from those illustrious Stars you follow, especially if they have tens of thousands of followers.

Stars are jumping on board

Stars are jumping to add DM’s to their Starsona page. Matthew Dellavedova (Delly), is an NBA Champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers and on Starsona. Delly’s from Australia and it makes sense his first DM was from a fellow Aussie and fan. The fan was interested in finding out where to buy a replica jersey worn at the 2015 Rising Star Game as well as some gear from his 2016 Finals run. Delly DM’d his response direct to the fan through Starsona.

Celebrity promotions and announcements for businesses during our Covid-19 World

There’s nothing like an endorsement from the right individual to get your business noticed or help your products sell.

Now there’s a much easier way to get your business or product promoted, and it’s offered on Starsona. Stars on the Starsona platform offer commercial requests businesses can take advantage of. As a business owner, you can request a Star do a video shoutout at a commercial rate where they’ll promote your business, announce a special event, or praise a product. The newest commercial product offering is an interesting one and something to get excited about - social media promotions. You can request a Star promote your business or product on specific social media channels. There are options to do so on your company’s social feed, or on the Star’s feed. This all comes at a price, but you might be surprised how affordable it is considering the benefits and boost for your business. The request process is super easy - go check it out!

Influencers offer “fun stuff” to their fans on Starsona

By Denise Walsh

Fans looking for a little bit of cheer during these unusual times can find it through Fun Stuff.

Have you ever wondered what playlist your favorite singer would recommend? Or wanted to ask your favorite social influencer to critique and provide suggestions on your Instagram postings? Well wish no longer! Influencers are now providing these unique and personalized offerings for their fans through Fun Stuff on Starsona.

So what exactly is Fun Stuff?

Glad you asked! Peter Karpas, Starsona’s CEO, describes it like this

"Think of fun stuff as any personalized, unique item that can be digitally delivered. For example, Stars can create a dinner menu for their fan’s party, critique or compliment a piece of work they submit, write them a short poem, provide personalized fashion or makeup tips, create a date night for them, etc. The sky’s the limit on the creativity stars can offer their fans.”

There are some pretty interesting items offered since each Influencer has their own, unique take. Here are a few examples social influencers are offering to pique your interest:

Delaney Brown is an influencer who provides inspirational words to her fans. Relationship advice, designing a date night activity, or covering a specific topic in her next post are all available for her fans to book. Delaney indicated she’s  “really excited to connect with my fans safely while supporting them in what they might be going through.”

A fan can get their workout critiqued, or a workout routine recommendation based on their fitness goals from Karin Moskalensky, a fitness trainer and influencer from San Diego, who shared: "I love that I’m able to offer workout tips for an individual fan and help them improve their fitness routine.  Especially during these unusual times with stay-at-home orders in place."

Perez Hilton, the original social influencer, is offering lifestyle tips, top tips for parents and (of course) daily doses of gossip sent directly to his fans. "Starsona is doing what no one else in the space is! Innovative interactions! I love being on the cutting-edge and I am with Starsona. I also LOVE making people happy and I now have even more ways to do that thanks to Starsona!” said Perez
