I accept both small and large businesses. However, I cannot accept all potential sponsors. I only select those that correspond with my and my readers' tastes and interests.


Ads are placed on the left-hand side bar under the blog introduction on  It's Simple Love. All ads are placed in their designated ad category by size and type in the order they are received. The three available ad size options are shown on the left.


All payments must be through PayPal, I will send you an invoice to your email address. The ad month starts once I receive payment. If you would like to continue to sponsor me and my blog, payment is due the same day each month. I will email you a few days before payment is due to remind you. I will accept store credit in substitution for monetary payments.

Please note that advertising takes time and you cannot expect instant success in just a couple months. It takes time for branding and creating an image. There are many factors effecting advertising, such as the picture ad. If the ad is not appealing to my readers, you won't receive a very high click-through rate. I highly suggest changing your picture ad every couple of months or so to keep things new and interesting for my readers. If purchasing advertising space is not enough, please look into the following other options that may aid you in your marketing endeavors.


GIVEAWAYS

Sponsors have priority for giveaways.  If you are not a sponsor you may contact me for an opportunity to hold a giveaway on itssimplelove.blogspot.com at itssimplelove(at!)live(dot)com.


This is usually the best way to market your business and get more traffic. I prefer one week long giveaways but in some cases can accommodate up to two weeks. In the giveaway post I introduce your business in a short paragraph or two that you can supply to me or that I will obtain from your website. The text will be accompanied with at least one picture that will be provided by the sponsor. All mentions of the sponsor will be directly linked to the sponsor's website.


The methods of entry are categorized as one mandatory entry and bonus entries. The mandatory entry usually directs readers to your website and requires them to explore it and report back on my blog (i.e. picking another product that they like). The bonus entries are focused on building a stronger social network through Blogger and Etsy for my blog and your business. If you would like your business' social network to be included in these bonus entries, please supply me with the associated links. Each entry is assigned a number in which random.org is used to select the winning number. I will contact the winner via email. They have 24 hours to respond to my email. Once they reply to my email, I will email you the winner's email address to settle shipment and/or exchange further contact information.


With each sponsored giveaway, these services are included:
  • facebooking about the giveaway daily to my 735+ friends and followers
  • tracking the entries
  • commenting on at least 30 independent blogs each day the giveaway is held and mentioning the giveaway

REVIEWS

Reviews are reserved only for paid sponsors.


By you sponsoring me and my blog, I am available to review your product on my blog as long as the product corresponds to my and my readers' tastes and interests. I may choose not to review a certain product if I feel it does not reflect my and my readers' tastes and interests. If you have specific requests on how the review should be posted (i.e. certain angles, detail shots, etc.), please let me know as specific as possible before the product will be reviewed. Once the review is posted, it will remain as is and I'd rather not change any wording, pictures, or the layout. I strive to maintain an honest relationship with my readers at all times and feel that changes to reviews after they are posted lead to inconsistencies that may harm the blogger-reader relationship.


PROMOS

Promos are reserved only for paid sponsors.


As a sponsor, you can provide any exclusive coupon codes you would like for me to share with my readers. These are placed under your sponsored ad. All promos are placed on itssimplelove.blogspot.com.
