Ownership, Policies, Sponsorship, and Disclosure
(Updated: 2017)
(Updated: 2017)
- Content : All text and photographs in this site are the property of Michelle Lim, a.k.a. Mom-Friday, unless otherwise specified and credited.
- Features : Published entries are solely based on my personal experiences, my varied interests, tastes and preferences, my own opinion and knowledge of a product or service.
- Featured products and services are all purchased/paid by me, unless indicated as gifts or compliments of friends or sponsors.
- To maintain honesty, transparency, and integrity on my blog, I only feature products and services that are aligned with my values and blog's direction; what I like, use, are relevant to me and my readers, those I have personally encountered and tried for myself or for my family.
- I only share what I can confidently recommend to my readers and friends
- If I have not actually seen nor experienced/tried a product or service yet, I cannot share or write about it.
- Advertising / Sponsorship:
- Sponsored/paid posts are disclosed, labeled as "sponsor", and acknowledged in the blog entry.
- I agree to feature and endorse what I like and use, what interests me, and what I can confidently share and recommend to my friends and readers. (see #2, item 2 above)
- Only sponsored posts are guaranteed and have scheduled dates for publishing. Otherwise, for brands and agencies, kindly read this note to manage your expectations.
- Seeding and Solicitations : I don't believe in soliciting/asking for products or services in exchange for a blog feature or social media promotion.
- Product samples and complimentary services are voluntarily given/sent to me by generous companies/brands, sponsors, and establishments. I don't ask for them.
- The complimentary products/services help me learn more about the (new) item/establishment before I decide to share it on social media (see #2, item 3 above).
- I also receive tokens from media events I choose to attend, and occasional gifts from readers and blog-loving friends.
- Samples and gifts may be acknowledged on any of my social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. There is no guarantee to be featured on the blog or on social media, unless it's from a sponsor.
- If products/samples garnered mostly negative or unfavorable feedback from me or my family after trying, I will refrain from writing about it as a courtesy to the sender/brand.
- I avoid ranting and posting negative features on the blog.
- Blogger / Media Events:
- I attend functions that are interesting and relevant to me and my blog.
- Since my days revolve around the schedule of my family, I only attend if the date/time and location are convenient.
- I rarely attend evening and Sunday functions.
- As a former advertising/events/PR practitioner, I understand that there is a level of expectation from media guests to write about/feature the brand presented at the event attended, though not required. To be fair with the organizers, if I know I cannot find the time to write about it, I decline the invitation.
- If I did not attend an event, post-publicity releases shall be declined (unless it's from a sponsor).
- Press Releases and Guest Posts:
- I receive quite a number of press releases and other publicity materials at any given time. Requests for guest posts also come my way. Given my weekly Friday categories and limited time to write, I cannot accommodate most(or all) of them.
- Marketing and promotional plugs, event announcements, and similar press releases shall be politely declined.
Advertising and Sponsorship Arrangements
- This blog is open to advertising, promotional tie-ins, and sponsored campaigns.
- I shall accept proposals for projects that are mutually beneficial, are aligned with my values and interests, and within my blog niche.
- I accept ads and sponsorships from brands I believe in.
- Ad Units can be in the form of:
- Box Ad - 300x300 px (on sidebar)
- Banner Ad - 728x90 px (below main header or bottom of homepage)
- Sponsored posts/campaigns can also be cross-promoted on my social media channels for added reach and publicity.
