Ads & Sponsorships

Interested in advertising on Grit & Glamour, or sponsoring a post? If we’re a match, I’d love to partner with you to get the word out about your product or site. I’ve been featured by Grazia Australia, Independent Fashion Bloggers, Jeffrey Campbell, and Wikifashion—and have partnered with Gucci, Foley + Corinna, Shopbop and other prestigious brands to promote both fashion events and products.

I’m also a contributing writer and editor for Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB), which was the first community and advocate for fashion bloggers ever established. My contributions to IFB and participation in its fashion week conferences ensure additional exposure for Grit & Glamour. In fact, I was a panel moderator at the IFB conference in February 2011, and have additional speaking engagements planned for the remainder of 2011.

My Audience

Grit & Glamour enjoys a high level of reader engagement, something I have worked very hard to create. My readers have noted in site surveys and feedback that they not only appreciate the caliber of my content, they trust my opinion, a fact that is also reflected in my Klout score.

Posts featuring outfits, reviews, and my original content usually generate a minimum of 25 to 70 comments, and many posts have 100-200 comments or more. A high comment ratio is more valuable than clicks or views because it shows that readers are actually reading posts and spending a significant amount of time evaluating the content on my site. That means products or sites featured are more likely to be noticed—and potentially purchased or explored—by my readers.

According to Alexa, gritandglamour.com is visited more frequently by females age 25-34, who have no children, are college educated and browse from home. Visitors are primarily from the United States, Spain, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, and Slovenia. Additional site statistics are available upon request.

Product Reviews and Features

I do accept products for review or to be featured in an outfit post. Product reviews are provided at my discretion, and I make no promises regarding reviews other than to offer my honest opinion. A published review or feature is not guaranteed for products received, though I generally do not accept products that I do not like. I always strive for a mutually beneficial arrangement.

If your product or service aligns with my philosophy and style, I will:

Accept products provided at no cost. I will not purchase any items at a discounted rate for the sole purpose of review or a feature.
Provide a timely review/feature and advise you of the scheduled publication of your post.
Maintain full editorial control and copyright for all reviews or features. Copy will not be provided to you/your company for editorial review before publication.
Fully disclose that products were provided to me for review or feature.
Include one link to your site.
Send at least one tweet about the post that also references your company in the tweet, if applicable.

Giveaways

I generally do not promote giveaways or contests for third parties on Grit & Glamour. If you would like to contribute a prize and sponsor a contest, I will evaluate on a case-by-case basis.
