Review Policy / Affiliates

 Would You Like To Be Reviewed?

We would absolutely love the opportunity to introduce your company’s product and/or services to our readers. When we write a review, we take the time to get to know the product as well as the company behind it. We ensure that each company gets the time in the spotlight it deserves, with the intentions of soliciting new interest from possible consumers.

What does this cost to you?
A well-written review from a member of our review board costs you one full-sized product or service, as the case may be.  You are welcome to send more than one product for a more in-depth write up or to showcase particular product lines.  It is your responsibility to ship to the reviewer we set you up with, and is ultimately theirs to keep after the review is over.

Those with reoccurring subscription style companies may send one box, but are more than welcome to participate in a multi-part review by providing more than one over time. This allows our reviewers and readers to get a real sense of timeliness/consistency/diversity. You can opt for one long review at the runs end, or a single review (keeping you fresh in our readers minds) after each installment.

What can you expect from the reviewer?
You may either select a reviewer from our author's page, or we will select one for you, matching their interests with your offerings.  That reviewer will then contact you, provide shipping information and work out what will be reviewed.  While you are welcome to point out key features of your product, they do NOT take instruction on the content of the review itself, and all opinions will be honest and detailed.

Once your product has arrived, you can expect an honest and detailed review within 4-8 weeks unless otherwise discussed with the reviewer.  In some situations, a review will take longer (for example, a product or service meant to be used over a period of time). Our reviewers make sure to take the time to really get to know the product and research the company as needed.  Please make yourself available throughout the review process for questions or comments concerning information needed for completion.

Each review will include pictures, starting with your logo if applicable. We will include links to all your important websites (website, facebook, etsy, etc), facts about the business, and personal opinions of the reviewers.  It is helpful to provide the reviewer with links to the various ways in which you would like a potential customer to locate you and your product.

Where will the review be posted?
We make sure the review gets the best exposure we can offer. The review is originally posted on Reviews, Chews & How-Tos (http://rchreviews.blogspot.com) but then we link from it on all of our social media platforms, and take time to spread the word though multiple channels. We encourage you to take full advantage of the review and share it wherever possible - you are welcome to use the review and pictures for your own promotions as desired in exchange for a link back to the original post.

GIVEAWAYS!
Here at RCH Review we love giveaways! It is a great way to introduce your review, or to bring it to new light after it has already been published. We run our giveaways through RaffleCopter and do them for a 2 week stretch for optimal exposure. It is the responsibility of the company or service provider to mail out the product to the winner, at no charge, at the completion of the giveaway. Members on our board may enter as well, except the person doing the review. Our giveaway requirements will include several opportunities for those entering to visit your site, 'like' you on various social media and otherwise get to know you.

If you have any questions or comments, 
or would like to set up a review, please email us at

Affiliate Policy

In addition to our reviewers receiving a complimentary item for review purposes, we may enter into Affiliate relationships with carefully selected businesses.  Should you choose to go through our affiliate link and/or use our codes when you check out, there may be a small monetary compensation for us.  This allows us to offset some of the costs associated with maintaining our site, and gives us the ability to plan for growth.

We will always note when an entry contains affiliate links or other form of compensation, and such relationships in no way impact the content of our reviews - we do not work with affiliate programs that require specific content be included, or those that limit our freedom to review or discuss their competitors.

If you have an affiliate or ambassador program that you believe meets this criteria, we'd love to discuss it with you!  Please contact Jackie at rchreview33@gmail.com.

For our readers, when you purchase through these affiliates, you are helping us improve and grow our website, and you have our thanks and appreciation!

Feedback!

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your review on the Reviews, Chews & How-Tos blog. I was expecting the type of review I've received in the past: text copied from my site, a few quick comments, and a link to my site.

What I received, however, was far more amazing than anything I had imagined! You truly put a great deal of thought into your review and I really enjoyed all the photos you took as well. It meant a lot that you took the time that you did. I really do appreciate it!!!
Much love, Anjali Patel"

"I noticed a big jump in visits to my website, likes on my facebook page, and an increase in internet sales when RCH Reviews reviewed my chocolate bars. I know I received new customers and they helped spread the word about my growing company."


"That was a great review from start to finish.  I read a lot of these and I appreciate the time you spent taking your followers through the entire process."

"It was a great pleasure working with RCH reviews! We loved the well-written,  honest feedback and detailed description of their experience with our products. After their review was posted we noticed an incline in social media engagement as well as retail sales from our website. Thanks again!"

"We love Reviews, Chews, and How-Tos. They did a wonderful review of our DoodleBug Busy Bags. I have worked with a lot of reviewers/bloggers. Some of them have just been horrible to deal with. Some have taken products and not posted reviews. Some have taken products and posted poorly done reviews. BUT, Reviews, Chews, and How-Tos did an amazing job. The review was extremely thorough and was accompanied by amazing pictures. The best part is that we received dozens of new Facebook fans, and some of those fans have already signed up as subscribers! Thanks Reviews, Chews, and How-Tos!!!"

"Thank you so much for the opportunity to collaborate with you and your staff at Reviews, Chews and How-To's. It has most definitely been a wonderful experience! Chelsea was a "Joy" to work with and I could not be happier with the social media response that was received during the give-away. I look forward to working together again in the future! Wishing you many blessings and much success."

"...your review is amazing. Honestly, it's one of the best written and well-thought out posts we have had on our box. I appreciate that you spoke of your experience rather than just copying info from our website! It's actually your opinion. Thank you!"
