Public Relations

Public Relations
I welcome all PR pitches but have the right to say no to participation in any of them. I am more likely to do/post a review/giveaway/interview/press release/guest post if the product/service falls in one of these categories:

- for women
- for Canadians
- for children (especially children under 10)
- cleaning/housework
- movies/music/sets
- housewares
- food/drinks

That doesn't mean I would NOT accept an offer not in an above category. Also please note if your product is a book, please visit my book review blog SMS Book Reviews.

Reviews
If you would like to send me your product for review, you'll need to send me a detailed email with information. I do not charge for reviews but I will NOT return the product. It takes time to try out a new product and write up a good review so that is my compensation. Your product MUST be available to Canadians or I'm not interested. It doesn't have to be solely for Canadians but it must be available to Canadians.

Giveaways
I would be happy to host a giveaway here for your product or service however some restrictions apply. I generally run giveaways for 2 weeks although they may run longer if they are bigger or more ezpensive item. I list my giveaways on Twitter, Mom Giveaways, Mom Bloggers Club, Canadian Mommy, Prizey, Blog Giveaways, FreeBlogGiveaways, Big List of Giveaways and I'm looking into listing it at other places.

For products, the item MUST be shipped by you or your company. I cannot afford to ship items out myself. You must specify to where you can ship and Canada MUST be in that specification. (So you won't see any US only giveaways here anymore) Please include # of items, exact name of item, approx. retail price and photo of item. Links to product websites would be great too. I am more likely to say yes to your giveaway if you have sent me the product to review as well.

For service giveaways, the service must be useable by Canadians. I am more picky in what services I will mention on my blog so having me review your service first will make me more likely to want to offer it. I am not interested in telling my readers about any make money schemes.

Other PR Opportunities
I am open to possible interviews, guest posts, advertisements or anything else you can think of. If you have an idea of another way your product or service could be featured here, please let me know. I don't currently have a specific ad rate but if someone is interested in placing a small add here (125 X 125) contact me and we can work something out.
