Be sure to read the “Southport Safe Pledge” and put your digital signature (type your name) on the sign-up form to confirm that you are committed to upholding these guidelines in your business.
What is the Southport Safe Pledge
The Southport Safe Pledge is based on official health safety protocol guidance from the CDC and the NC Department of Health and Human Services.
It is your official commitment to follow these guidelines in your business – and your ticket to $3,000 worth of marketing and advertising!
See the full Pledge linked below.

Here are helpful hints to help you prepare for your video shoot: Lights, Camera, Action!
