Public Relations
Although many of the items reviewed on KellieGonzo.com are purchased, the site accepts products classified as gifts for consideration from brands and public relations representatives. Receipt of a gift does not constitute a contract for a published review of the product. While KellieGonzo.com attempts to accept only gifts of interest, the acceptance of a submission does not guarantee a review.Reviews are done based on honest assessments of gifts and content is not pre-approved by PR representatives or brands. Anyone that wishes to impose such limitations will not be accepted. Editorial timeline is generally 4-6 weeks from receipt of a product, but may be considered earlier as time allows. Beginning December 10, 2009, any product review post that is published after that date featuring a product that was received as a press sample will be identified as such in accordance to the Federal Trade Commission’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”.
