What If I Want to Express Interest in a Campaign and the Store Locator Says the Product Isn’t Available Near Me?

Edited

If you’d like to express interest in a campaign but the store locator shows the product is not available near you, here’s what to do:

🚫 If the Product Is in Your Market, Just Not at a Store You Want to Visit

If the store locator shows that the product is available somewhere in your metro area (even if it’s not at your preferred store), please do not express interest in the campaign.

Brands expect that if you’re selected, you’ll be able to purchase the product from one of the locations listed. If you’re not willing to do that, the campaign may not be a good fit this time.

✅ If the Product Is Truly Not Available in Your Market

If the store locator shows that the product isn’t available anywhere in your city or metro area, you can still express interest — just make sure to answer “not available in my area” in the required store locator question.

In your response, please note that the store locator isn’t showing local availability. This helps us track potential distribution gaps and raise them with the brand.

🔍 Why This Matters

This info helps us investigate! If multiple birds in your market report that the product isn’t available, we’ll work with the brand to:

  • Double-check the store locator data

  • Work with the brand to confirm distribution

  • Explore alternative options so you can still participate

💛 Bottom Line

Available but inconvenient? Please don’t apply.

Not available at all in your area? Go ahead and apply, but let us know.

This helps us keep campaigns fair, accurate, and accessible for everyone!
