Sweet Southern Savings Media Kit

Welcome to the
Sweet Southern $avings Media Kit Page

Hello,
We are Marcus and Paula; GiGi and Poppa to our grandchildren. We would like to thank you for taking the time to consider working with us. Who are we? It is just the three of us now – the two of us plus our spoiled kitten, Taz. The children are all grown and have started giving us grandchildren that we can dote on. Marcus is a proud Marine Veteran and all-around handyman. Although Paula has a degree in Accounting, she is first a mother and grandmother. Our blogging journey began in July 2013 using a free domain. Our first domain was purchased in November 2014. In June 2017, Marcus joined in the fun full-time and we rebranded as Sweet Southern Savings so that we could better provide our readers with the best experience possible when visiting our site.

It’s hard to believe that it has been more than five years since Paula was looking for freebies and sweeps to do and decided to start blogging about the great ones she found. When the opportunity presented itself shortly after, we began writing reviews. We found we both truly enjoyed writing these posts and have dedicated a large amount of time to them.

Paula started a Yahoo group, ABEKAFORSALE, in 2001 when she taught our children at home. We are still amazed at how successful it has been. Through hard work, PaulaMS’ Reviews Giveaways Freebies, became very popular. Now that Marcus has joined full-time and we have become a blogging team. Plus, with the added benefits that a self-hosted WordPress blog offers, we are confident that Sweet Southern Savings will do the same.

 
We would love to work with you!

Let us help you with your advertising, review, and giveaway needs.

A hyperlink with your anchor text in the right sidebar is $15 per month. A dofollow link with your anchor text can be inserted into one of our existing posts for a one-time fee of $30.
Guest Posts
Pre-written guest posts are published for a fee of $60 and include sharing with our email list and on our social media accounts: Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Sponsored Posts
These posts are written by one or both of us to present your product or service in the best way possible. Sponsored Posts are published for a fee of $100 and include sharing with our email list and on our social media accounts Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Social Media Postings
Social Media Shares are $75 per share on Instagram, $40 per share on Twitter, and $25 per share on Facebook or Pinterest. Each post is written to maximize the visibility of your product, website, or social media account that you would like promoted.
​
Product Reviews:
Product Reviews are a great way to promote your website and products. The cost to do a review starts at $150. You or your company must provide the product you wish to be reviewed which we will keep in exchange for the review plus the cost we agree upon. (full-size products only – no samples please) You will be responsible for the shipping of the product. We will give you and our readers an honest and thoughtful review of your product and share it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and other social media sites. We will post pictures and a link to the product in the review. Please allow at least 2 to 3 weeks after we receive the product for the review to be completed. (This time is optional depending on the product and can be discussed for a different time frame).
 
Giveaways:
Giveaways provide a great way to draw a lot of attention to your company and products. If you would like to do a giveaway along with your product review we can arrange to do this for you. When you do a giveaway we will add your social media accounts on the giveaway form to help you gain followers, help you with adding people to your email list, getting website visits, and having people make comments on your social media, website, or blog. Usually, a giveaway lasts about 4 weeks to provide the most exposure possible for you and your company.
However, we can also do a flash giveaway for a 1 to 2 week period. When the giveaway is over and you will be notified of the verified winner(s). You are then responsible for sending the randomly chosen winner the product. The product, shipping costs and any fees associated with the prize are your responsibility. All giveaway posts include pictures and links back to your chosen website. The average cost is $300 for giveaways with reviews. This cost varies depending on the complexity of the review and the cost of the product to be given away. 
 
If you would like a giveaway promoted without a review that option is also available. The same rules apply as above but without a product being sent for review. The fee for giveaways without a review is $200.
 
We look forward to working with you on a successful promotion,
Marcus and Paula
