Female-Founded Personal Care Disruptors SOS and Rael Partner to Give Away 200,000 Free Tampons...
BOSTON - October 25, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
SOS, the Boston-based company that is redefining wellness on the go through a fast-growing network of smart vending machines, is announcing its exclusive product partnership with Rael, the 360 holistic feminine and beauty company focused on clean period care, intimate care, and skincare.
Together, the female-founded and -led brands are committing to give away 200,000 tampons and pads at all of SOS' 100+ machines throughout the next year in an effort to increase access to essential personal care products in high-traffic public locations where people need them most. The partnership is backed by a six-figure investment from Rael and is the largest direct brand investment to date for SOS.
"Every woman has experienced a moment when she needed a tampon and one was nowhere to be found, a frustrating feeling only exacerbated when in a public space like a sporting arena or office building," said Susanna Twarog, co-founder and co-CEO of SOS. "We believe that all people deserve access to period care products wherever, whenever, and our partnership with Rael helps us bring that mission to fruition as we make their organic, effective pads and tampons available for free in all of our machines."
Easily recognizable by their curvy shape and sleek video touch screen, SOS machines offer a range of exceptional just-in-time personal care and wellness products to meet a variety of needs. Completely cardless and contactless for consumers, SOS machines also deliver targeted, interactive advertising and educational content when not in use. This digital component is a unique aspect of SOS machines and enables highly targeted brand-building and customer acquisition programs that help brands stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. As part of the partnership, Rael will have access to personalized marketing campaigns and valuable data capture information at all SOS locations.
"In today's competitive marketing landscape, it has become harder than ever for brands to cut through the noise and capture consumer attention," said Robina Verbeek, co-founder and co-CEO of SOS. "SOS machines provide a unique opportunity for brands to meet consumers exactly where they are in their moment of need and offer an immediate solution with a top-quality product. That is the type of impact that resonates with consumers and generates brand loyalty. Pair that with our first-party data capture capabilities, and brands have valuable insight to build a loyal customer base."
"We are excited to launch this initiative with SOS to promote equitable access to feminine care products. Our mission has never been clearer, and through this partnership, we look forward to giving more people access to healthy, organic options in women's wellness and hygiene," said Sorah Park, Chief Marketing Officer of Rael. "We know there can be a real financial burden when accessing feminine hygiene products, especially organic, and Rael is committed to providing greater ease for those in need of clean, safe, and effective solutions through the high-traffic access points in urban cities where SOS machines featuring Rael can be found."
Launched in 2020 by Susanna Twarog and Robina Verbeek, SOS has grown its footprint to include prominent placement at high-traffic areas including New York City's iconic Rockefeller Center, top sporting venues like Fenway Park, FLA Live Arena and TIAA Bank Field, in addition to a variety of public spaces around Boston, including Boston Children's Hospital, District Hall, Prudential Center, South Station, and more.

Can I Qualify for a Poor-Credit Cash Advance if I’m Self-Employed?
iQuanti: Cash advances are easy to get when you have a regular W2 job and can produce copies of your latest pay stubs. It may be a little more complicated for self-employed individuals, but that doesn't mean you won't qualify for a cash advance for poor credit. There are just more steps involved to get approved for one. In this article, we'll walk you through how to apply for a cash advance if you're self-employed.
Step #1: Search for a cash advance lender
First, do some research online to choose the right cash advance lender for your needs. There are thousands of lenders across the U.S. Some lenders advertise to the self-employed, while others offer cash advances for these individuals but don't openly promote them.
Take your time shopping around and make sure you know something about the lender you're about to work with. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has listings on legitimate lenders with reports on any questionable activity, and The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires lenders to register in all states they do business in. Check both sources before applying for a cash advance.
Step #2: Prepare proof of income documentation
Once you've chosen a lender to work with, you'll need to have proof of income ready. Employees can usually get by with a few paystubs and recent W2 form. Self-employed individuals can't provide either of those, so they need to find another way to prove their income. Before applying with a cash advance lender, gather the documentation listed below. You may need digital copies (PDFs) if you're using an online lender.
- Tax returns/transcripts: Self-employed people operating as sole proprietors or LLCs file a 1040 tax return just like everyone else. Find your most recent return or download a transcript of the return from IRS.gov. This is proof of what you made last year.
- Last year's Schedule C: The Schedule C is part of your tax return, but you should make a separate copy of it just in case. Lenders want to see what your expenses and costs were, not just your gross revenue.
- 1099 Forms: Independent contractors receive a 1099 or 1099-MISC from their clients each year to report what they've been paid. Lenders use these forms to ensure that your income on your tax return came from legitimate sources.
- Schedule SE: Self-employment tax is not reported on the Schedule C, but it is a significant expense that lenders will consider when doing their due diligence on your creditworthiness. Make a digital copy of your SE for their review.
- Bank statements: The previous documents show what you made last year. Bank statements show your current income. If you have a separate business account where you receive your income, bring that statement.
Step #3: Choose a cash advance lender and apply
With the documents listed above, you're ready to apply for a cash advance. Decide whether you want to apply online or at the lender's physical store location, and start the application process. Make sure you have your ID, along with a bank routing number and account number for them to deposit your funds.
Applying for a cash advance is easy, and may only take a few minutes. Better yet, approvals are typically fast, so you could get the funds you need as soon as the same day you apply. Then, you can cover the expenses you need to get back on track before your next payday.
