Public Relations

This blog is PR friendly. I love doing product reviews and giveaways. I can do just reviews, just giveaways or a review/giveaway. Just read below as to the types of PR we welcome here and what it takes to get it done. Please also be sure to read our disclosure statement. If you are interested in advertising only, please contact us.

Product Reviews:

Product reviews are a great way to get your business out there. It is always helpful to have someone else review your product for the public to see. Any reviews done of your product on this blog will be linked directly to your website and have your contact information in them so as any potential clients or customers will be able to find you. I do not limit the number of reviews or reps of a company that I will do a review for, however, if your product is similar to one that is currently on review I will space them out as to not cause a conflict. If you would like a review of your business, please contact us for current pricing.

I do require a full size or as close to it as possible product to review.

I do NOT pay for the product or shipping. That is the responsibility of the company or rep.

There are no returns of the product. When you submit a product for review my compensation for reviewing your product is getting to keep the product for personal use.

Products will be reviewed in a timely manner and all reviews will be of my own personal opinion as stated in the disclosure statement.

I do just reviews alone without a giveaway, however, I have learned you get better response when you host a giveaway. You can read more about how giveaways are done below.
