The PR/Media Spiel

Hello there! If your company (or a company you represent) would like to be considered for ad space, text links, promotional posts, or reviews/giveaways at The Never-True Tales, here’s the Cliffnotes version of my unofficial advertising policy: I’m not one to bite the hand that feeds me, but I am a picky eater. In other words, I’m PR-friendly, but tend to hold out for just the right match before promoting any brand or item.

This site isn’t centered around reviews and giveaways (nor do I hope for it to be a promotional powerhouse when it grows up), and I’m ok with that. I select the few brand endorsements and advertisements I run very carefully (and not very often). Whether this policy is a good thing or a bad thing from the perspective of your brand or product, only you can decide.

I like to think NTT readers are here for the stories, the relationships, the writing, and the laughs. What they’re not here for: my opinion on everything from brands of juice boxes to training pants. They can make up their own mind about that (and probably do so on a daily basis). The up-side: when I do find a company I feel strongly about endorsing, you can be sure your ad, link, or promotion will be of genuine importance to me (and my readers will know it).

So there you go. If you’d like to be considered, or just want to talk numbers of the web traffic and dollar sign variety, give me a shout. This much I can promise:  I give each PR or advertising inquiry careful consideration. Products and services which are environmental, literary, or family-oriented in nature will catch my eye the most. If you have a travel-related product or service, I’d be happy to consider it for my travel site, Pit Stops for Kids.

Disclosure Policy: This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. My word is more important to me than any product or brand (what self-respecting writer would disagree?), and honesty in my prose beats out any other agenda. Whenever I am compensated for a blog post, product review, or text link, my readers will know it. Whenever I agree to promote a product or service, this agreement does not come with a guarantee of a positive review.  What I do guarantee: professionalism, enthusiasm, and of course, the truth.
