EDITORIAL GUIDELINES

I am always looking for a brand with which to partner, to spread the word about a great product or company. Here at the Charlene Chronicles blog, as a luxury blogger I focus on luxury items for the discerning parent who wants style and practicality in life – from what they wear, what they drive, what they use, what they eat and where they go. As a result, I am one of the top mom bloggers focusing on high end fashion, decadent travel and posh products for Moms that want live life and raise their children in practical luxury style. It is about shopping less in order to shop luxe.

If you represent a product that you think would be a good fit for me and my readers, please contact me. I will respond if I’m interested and we can discuss your budget and my rates. However, here are some things you need to know.

EDITORIAL AND REVIEW POLICY:

  • Please note that we cannot review items based upon just photos, brochures, or websites – we actually have to use the products in order to give our readers our honest, thoughtful opinion. Therefore, we have to see a sample. All products submitted should be luxury appropriate for dad, mom or children. Product samples are not returned and submitting a sample does not guarantee placement, although we do have a great success rate due to the fact that we pre-screen the submissions.
  • I do not publish press releases for free. If you have news, please ask for the media kit with full pricing structure.
  • All reviews are completely editorial – so please don’t ask for specific anchor text.
  • If you are looking for social media support in conjunction with a review, can’t submit a sample, or have very specific review requirements, please inquire about our sponsored post rate.
  • I cannot donate my time and expertise to your paying clients. You get paid for your work as should I be paid. Please email for rates.

PRODUCT REVIEW SUBMISSION REQUESTS:

Before submitting a product, please review the editorial policy above. Then, please email to submit your product. All pitches must identify the product, as well as the offered sponsored post rate (for sponsored posts). I’ll review your submission and get back to you if it is a good fit for the site. I save all submissions, so if you don’t hear from me right away, you may hear from me later. If it is time-sensitive, please note that in your communication.

I do not accept payment in exchange for a better review. My integrity as a reviewer is important to me. I also also comply with all FTC guidelines.

ADVERTISING:

Please check out the advertising rates. I offer a 728×90 leaderboard, 300×250 large box, 125×125 buttons for advertisements on this website or in newsletters.
