Our Goal:

To share Kona West Beachwear in a positive light, and with enthusiasm on social media and in public. While posting to social media, make sure to emphasize your style with our products, and / or your desire to keep our shores and oceans clean. Doing both in a genuine fashion and not a self-centered or egotistical way is strongly recommended. We firmly believe that a love for our planet comes from the heart.  An overall “Beach” theme is suggested but not required.

Some Guidelines:

  • Always include “www.konawest.com” and your personal promo code in your posts.
  • Always include the appropriate link for each social media post (#KonaWestCo, @kona.west etc).
  • Always include the fact that Kona West pledges “up to 30% of profits to ocean cleanup.”
  • Make sure to post a picture or video featuring Kona West at least once every 14 days.
  • Make sure any photos or videos are clear and well-lit. Try to make sure they’re as high-quality as possible.
  • You can post photos or videos of you / your friends at the beach. Make sure your Kona West merchandise is clearly visible.
  • Posting pictures or video of aquatic life is a big plus. Zoos or aquariums are great for this.
  • Posting pictures or video of you or a group cleaning up beach / ocean debris is a big plus. Emphasize your passion and encourage others to do the same.
  • Make sure to always depict some kind of activity in your posts. Be doing something fun or going somewhere interesting, ideally outside. 
  • Please be appropriately dressed when posting. Bikinis and swimwear are acceptable, so long as all appropriate areas are covered.
  • We’re all about positive vibes. Display genuine happiness, a sense of adventure, and a feeling of inspiration when sharing Kona West.

Things NOT To Do

  •  NEVER scorn, berate, talk badly about, or confront people who leave trash or litter. Many times, litter is cause by mistake or by accident. It is definitely not our job to talk down to anyone. Instead, be kind, and keep our environment clean with an open heart and understanding.
