Sponsorship etc

As the old saying goes, everyone has a price… and I’m no exception. If you’re looking at this page, chances are you’re thinking of getting in touch with me to inquire about advertising on the site, perhaps writing a guest post or maybe sending me something to review. The good news is, I’m up for ALL of those and more.

The ONE thing you need to be aware of, though, is that I work in marketing. Digital marketing to be precise – and I deal with bloggers myself, all the time. Therefore, I have some very set views about how ‘influencer engagement’ (or whatever you choose to call it) should be done – and I’m not afraid to tell you.

To save us ALL some time and energy, the best thing for you to do is read this list, along with a couple of posts I have written on the subject – that way, you won’t waste your time on a rubbish pitch, I won’t have to read a rubbish pitch and we’ll all be happy. So, the list:

  • Guest posts – as you’ll often see me mentioning guest posts, you’ll know I LOVE guest posts from other parents. What I DON’T love are SEO people pretending to be parents in order to write a post and stick in an irrelevant link, in the hope I won’t notice.
  • Links – I’m happy to include links in posts, but I’m not stupid – if I do this, I expect to be recompensed for my troubles. As I say, I’ve worked in marketing (including SEO) for a LONG time…
  • Advertising – I’m always happy to consider sponsored posts, adverts or other commercial arrangements
  • Reviews – Again, always happy to consider your pitch, but you should probably know that I expect to keep the product at the end, ESPECIALLY if it was for my children. Taking a toy from a baby’s arms is NOT on my wishlist!

Anyway, there’s my list – and here’s the two blog posts you should read:

Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfold Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfolds again last night, this time at the @royalalberthall. Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
