Product Reviews/Giveaways
Deals & Drivel does not charge for reviews if product samples are provided. Reviews will be honest opinions of the blog authors on the product sample. Because we can not promise that every review will be positive, whenever an agreement to review a product is accepted, we will test/try the product, write the review and then send it first to the company for approval prior to posting. If for some reason the company declines posting the review, it will be discarded.
Deals and Drivel also accepts products/samples/coupons and special discounts for reader giveaways.
There is no charge for hosting giveaways if product samples are provided for review/giveaways. It is the giveaway sponsor’s responsibility to ship the prize directly to the winner. This saves time, money, and having to ship the prize all over (which also helps save on valuable resources!)
Please let us know the following so that we can meet your giveaway expectations!
1. Number of winners requested.You can count on the following to occur for your review and giveaway:
2. Residency/Age restrictions.
3. Length of giveaway.
4. Links to your site, and any other sub site you would like to share (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc)
5. Provide information regarding any requirements or guidelines of the giveway.
• We will email you once we receive your product and work quickly to review your product/service. Please be aware that we like to be honest about our experiences, so some products/services may take longer to review than others. All product reviews are done in a timely manner. If you have an expectation of how soon you would like to have your product/service reviewed, please be sure to mention this upfront and prior to sending your product. If there will be any delay in posting your review for whatever reason, we will contact you. We will remain in contact with you so as to keep you updated on where we are at and what is going on. Feel free to email us if you have any questions or concerns. If you want a preview of the review prior to it being posted, please mention this on your initial contact. Should we have a negative experience with your product, we will hold our review, contact you, and work with you to resolve the situation.
• A complete product review ie: how long we used the product, results, pros and cons of the product, normal resale value, etc.
• The initial product review will be posted on our main page, will have a direct link to its own page, and be included in our Reviews Category.
• Choosing to host a giveaway will enable you to get a custom ad link to your site for the entire length of the giveaway, as well as an introduction post to the giveaway and reminder posts throughout the duration of the giveaway. These posts will also be shared on our Facebook page.
• Again, please note that it is your responsibility to send the giveaway prize to the selected winner. We will forward you all required contact information as requested within a timely manner following the giveaway so that the prize(s) can be sent accordingly.
