To improve the chance of eliciting a reply, try a few of the following tips:

First, be sure to personalize your message. Why do you feel this person in particular would be a fit for your business? What background, experience or unique skills do you bring that they should know about?

Next, you may be due for a profile touch-up. Make sure you have written an informative description for your business profile and a specific “I’m Looking For”. Your skills list should use keywords customers would use to search for your skill set and make sure you’ve connected your social network accounts as well. This will help potential customers and collaborators determine if they want to connect with you.

In addition to making sure your profile is as complete as possible, be sure Fashion Mingle messages are not going into your spam folder. If you find something from Fashion Mingle in your spam folder, just mark it as “not spam”, and our website address will be white-listed.

Secondly, be proactive! Check the businesses you’ve favorited and send any potential customers a message. Consider upgrading to a Featured Membership, so your profile appears at the top of your city and categories.

We regularly promote Featured members as a part of their membership benefits. You can increase your chances of being promoted in several ways:
