Promotional Policies

• I require product for review. Because we want to be able to stand behind our recommendations, we do ask for a review unit. In return we offer well written reviews, clear, enticing photography—and promotion through social media such as twitter and Facebook.
• If you are interested in having me host a giveaway of the same type of product or a different one, I am happy to do so—but please do not send me the prize at the same time as review item. Giveaway prize must be sent directly to winner. I prefer giveaways open to US/Canada.
• I will promote your product on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. I can direct readers to newsletters or blogs if you choose.
• If you would like to have specific links added, please let me know prior to me posting the review.
• Depending on event dates or back-log, items will typically be reviewed within 2 to 4 weeks.
• Quality photos will be taken by me. I prefer to only use stock photos if I am showing other products in line/from company.
• Reviews will be posted on review page and periodically promoted after initial posting and promotion.
• I will not pay for shipping or any fees associated with shipping for a review item.
• Giveaway items must be valued at $50 or more. Gift cards/codes must be valued at $25 or more.

I am most interested in reviewing:

•  gadgets/technology
•  housewares/home décor items
• renovation products
• kitchen products/cookware
• cars/transportation
• travel destinations (as well as attractions/events and accommodation)
• organization products (office supplies included)
• I am NOT interested in items for children, alcoholic beverages, most books, clothing, or beauty products.

Brand Ambassadorship:

•  I most enjoy working with a brand or PR company for an extended period of time so that I can have a chance to really share and get to know a product and the company behind it. I would love to be included in your outreach emails.
• In the past, I have worked with Toshiba as a brand ambassador, and on recurring projects with DYSON, Casemate, Logitech, Memorex and others.

Advertorials/Sponsored Posts:

• For information that I think would be valuable to my readers, and when appropriate, I am open to posting advertorials/sponsored posts for a fee. My rates range between $50 and $250 for a post I write myself, and $30 to $100 for a post sent to me.
• I do not post press-releases.
• I include 2 links with each post. Extra links can be added for an additional charge.
• I require at least 2 good photos—with credit— for posts written by someone other than myself, for inclusion.

Sponsorship:

• I am currently seeking sponsorship for TBEX 12′, a travel bloggers conference in Colorado in June 2012.
• There are several interior design bloggers conferences later in 2012 that I am seeking sponsorship for as well.
