PR Friendly

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO REVIEW YOUR PRODUCT ON THIS BLOG?

A Year With Mom and Dad is a PR friendly blog. My husband and I co-write this blog with a focus on parenting, cloth diapering, and natural/organic living. We love to partner with businesses/brands to review products that relate to our content. To pitch us for a product review, giveaway or sponsored post, please fill out our form!

Why Blog Reviews?
Blog reviews/giveaways network your brand via word-of-mouth to a loyal audience of readers! Reviews/giveaways generate attention and raise brand awareness with your target market! Also when I talk about various products on the market, I can help educate, entertain, and expand my readership, so we both benefit!

Why Our Blog?
Most of our readership consists of moms (and a few dads) who research products before making buying decisions, so our blog zeros in on your exact target audience.

“Mom” is a professional writer with a degree in Creative Writing, and over 15 years of experience teaching writing and freelancing for magazines and newspapers. You can guarantee our review will be personable and professionally written.

Review / Giveaway Policies

Send a full-sized product for review (no sample/trial sized). For food reviews, please send a 7-14 day supply.
After trying the product in our home, I will write a thoughtful review, including links to your site (keyword links are negotiable).
The timing of the review will fit my editorial calendar. Please keep in mind, most of my postings are planned at least 2-4 weeks in advance, so there may be a delay between when we receive your product, and when the review posts, but I will give you an expected timeframe. I will send a link to you once the review is live.
I give honest opinions about how the product worked for me and my family; I will discuss both pros cons. If I am not satisfied, I will contact you to resolve the problem before posting.
If a giveaway is included (highly recommended), your company can offer a second product (or related item, gift certificate, etc.) to one or more of my readers.
- Your company is responsible for fulfillment/shipping charges.
- To be a legal contest, I cannot
- have “mandatory” entries;
- require readers to comment on a Facebook wall (this violates Facebook policies and endangers both my Facebook fan page and the sponsor’s)
- have excessive entry tasks asking the reader to complete a lot of tasks (called ”consideration”) could push my giveaway into the category of an “illegal lottery.” For this reason, I limit my giveaways to no more than 1-5 entry tasks. Please read this article “Is Your Giveaway Legal?” for details.
I will notify you of the winner’s name and shipping address when the giveaway ends.
It is your responsibility to ship a prize to the winner in a timely manner (within 2 weeks is appreciated). I reserve the right to remove a review post if the winner’s prize is not delivered within 2 months and/or 2 contact emails.

If you are interested in partnering with my blog to review a product, website, or sponsor a giveaway, please fill out the form above and/or contact me. Thank you!
