MS Do’s Holiday Gift Guide Expectations and Guidelines

With the holiday shopping season soon to be upon us, I am in hopes that you have products you would like featured in MS Do’s 2014 Holiday Gift Guide.  Holiday Gift Guides are a great way to receive exposure to your brand and product. You have the opportunity to receive:

  • Increased brand exposure
  • Bargain basement advertising
  • Another sales channel
  • Reliable and honest review of your product(s)

Based upon value of the product(s) and other agreements between the sponsor and MS Do, these are the starting points to be included in the Gift Guide.  MS Do is very flexible and hates to tell anyone no!  She can’t tell you no if you don’t ask.  😉

Holiday Gift Guide Social Promotion:

All products accepted will receive a permanent, individual post linked to the Product Review tab and category. It will also be linked under the 2014 Holiday Gift Guide which will be placed on the upper right side of the site until the end of December.

Once the post is live, it will be shared on Facebook, Twitter, and Google + approximately every five hours for three days via HootSuite. It will also be shared on Instagram and Pinterest, as appropriate.   Preferred hashtags and/or social media tags will be utilized when possible.  For more information about MS Do’s stats, please see her Media Kit and/or November  Google Analytics Screenshot.

Guidelines for 2014 Holiday Gift Guide:

  • A full-size, non-returnable product is needed to be included in the guide.
  • Products valued at $75 or more will receive a product review.
  • Products valued below $75 will have a product description posted. I will briefly include my thoughts on the product, recommendations, etc. as well.
  • Product placements are available in lieu of product, with monetary compensation.  Contact MS Do (DealsFromMsDo@gmail.com) to discuss rates.
  • Preferred high resolution product image(s) provided by sponsor.
  • Specify preferred keywords and/or product links, if any.
  • Provide preferred hashtags and/or social media tags.
  • Product must be family friendly and a good fit for my readers and I. If I wouldn’t want my elderly parents or my seventeen year old to see it, it’s not a good fit.

Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway Guidelines:

MS Do will conduct giveaways for your product, in conjunction with review or placement for the Gift Guide.

The above Gift Guide requirements are to be met with the following:

  • MS Do must receive product or prize equal to or exceeding the value of the winner’s prize.
  • Sponsor is responsible for shipping of all giveaways.
  • Giveaway prizes should be shipped to the recipient by December 12th so that they are received in time for Christmas.

Categories available for the Holiday Gift Guide:

Don’t think your product will fit into one of these categories?  Did you see the note above?  MS Do is very flexible and hates to tell anyone no!  She can’t tell you no if you don’t ask.  😉
