It might only be May, but if you’re hoping to get your product into holiday gift guides, now is the time to start. Many big media outlets work months in advance, which means waiting until November is way too late.

Today’s question comes from Rachel in Philadelphia, who wants to know how to get her home goods business featured in gift guides or holiday shopping lists. Should she pitch magazines? Bloggers? Websites like BuzzFeed? Let’s go over the best ways to increase your chances of getting featured—and when you need to start preparing.

"I run a small business selling unique handcrafted home goods, and I’ve heard that getting featured in holiday gift guides can be a great way to boost sales. But I have no idea how to actually get my products included in one of those lists. Do I pitch magazines, bloggers, or big websites like BuzzFeed? And when should I start? I don’t want to miss out on the holiday rush, but I also don’t want to waste time if my chances are slim. What’s the best way to get my products featured in gift guides?"
