Tell us a little about your business ?

How long have you been doing this?  I have been making bows for about 3 years now, It started out as a hobby because I couldn't find bows that I loved for my 3 girlies that were a price I could afford as a stay at home mom! So, Chic-clips was born!

What price range do your products fall in? 
My bows range in price from 3.00 to 6.00 a piece!

What is your favorite item from your shop? Why?
I love my big Euro Bows. they are so unique and fun. I love to make these, and I love them in my kiddos hair.

What is your favorite place to shop (online or otherwise)?
I love to shop...EVERYWHERE! I love Gap, Old Navy and then I have a few boutique shops that I really like. I love Stitcheroos.com they have great personalized stuff. and then EBay!

Who are your inspirations or influences?
My inspirations have to be kids that I see around town, I am always thinking I have a bow that could match that or wow that would be a cute bow combo! I also love to match gymboree

What's the best advice anyone has given you (professionally or personally)?
Just do it, I have a hard time starting new things. Its kinda scary to put something that you have made out there for people to love or hate, It took me almost 2 years to get my stuff online, and it was scary but it has been rewarding meeting people from all over the world!

Where else can we find you ?
I also run a hair blog that shows you great hair Ideas for little girls! On http://www.chic-clipshair.blogspot.com/ you get to see alot more of who I am personaly and I love to show off my little monkeys!

Advertising

This agreement is between you (the “Sponsor”) and Smart and Trendy Moms (“STM”).

Ad Space Terms and Conditions:

Ad Rates and Positions.  Both Premium and Standard ads are seen on most pages of the website. Premium ads are positioned in the ad box higher on the page and have greater visibility.  Standard ads appear in the ad box on the lower portion of the page.

Ad size is 125px by 125px.  If you would like to discuss alternate sizes, please contact us.

Contracts and Payments.  Ad Space contracts will begin on the 1st or 15th of every month.  Should you choose to purchase an ad to go up on the 15th, we will pro-rate that month and ask that you pay for the next month also.

All ads (both monthly and 3-month contracts) must be paid in full before they are posted.  This fee is non-refundable and no portion will be returned should the Sponsor decide to discontinue the display of the ad at any time prior to the end of the contract period.

We will not hold any unpaid ad space.  Unpaid ads will be removed, and we reserve the right to offer that ad space to another advertiser. We will send one courtesy reminder via e-mail a few days before your ad expires. If you wish to renew your contract, please do so this at that time.

All payments must be sent via PayPal to jennettehansen@yahoo.com

STM offers no Guarantees.  Although STM has a loyal follower base, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of any ad, and we cannot guarantee traffic from any ad. No certain outcome is suggested or implied.

Ad Content and Responsibility. Sponsor is solely responsible for the content of the Sponsor’s ad and all advertising claims made within the ad.  Sponsor is solely responsible for any copyright infringements and any intellectual property issues that may arise. Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless STM, its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents and members for all losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from any claim for infringement of the rights of third parties based upon publication of the promotion in question, including, without limitation, those arising from claims or suits for defamation, liable, copyright or trademark infringement, misappropriation, violation of the Lanham Act or rights of privacy or publicity or from any and all similar claims now known or hereafter devised.

Right to refuse service. STM reserves the right to refuse or discontinue service at anytime without notice.

Service and down-time.  STM does its best to keep our site up.  However, some down-time is to be expected. Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless STM, its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents and members for all losses, costs,  claims, damages, or causes of action it may suffer as a result of the transactions contracted herein, including but not limited to loss resulting from service delays and incomplete or interrupted service, regardless of cause or fault.  STM’s liability is limited to extension of this contract by a period of time the promotion failed to display.  If service interruption is greater than 48 hours, please contact STM to discuss extension of this contract.

No conditions, printed or otherwise, or insertion orders or instructions which conflict with the provisions of this contract will be binding on STM.  Except as specifically agreed to by the STM and Sponsor, all promotion positioning/placement clauses and conditions will be treated as requests only and cannot be guaranteed.  In addition, the STM reserves the right to run an unlimited number of promotions at any given time on the website provided space is available.

Ad Approval/Removal.  Sponsor is responsible for providing all information and digital artwork to meet specifications and guidelines.  STM reserves the right to determine the suitability of all promotions submitted for distribution, and to reject promotions that do not meet its editorial or digital criteria.  All Ads must be pre-approved by STM.

Sponsors generally choose to host images at a third party hosting service (such as Photo Bucket) or on their own servers.  This gives the Sponsor the opportunity to change his/her own image during the month by uploading a new image with the same name supplied to STM.  STM does allow this; however, all ads must be pre-approved by STM prior to posting. At STM, our reputation is very important to us.  STM reserves the right to refuse and/or remove an ad at anytime for any reason without notice. Refunds will not be issued.

Specifications. Ads must be static images in GIF, JPEG, or png format, and sized according to the specifications.  “Animated” ads will not be accepted.  STM will make changes to ads after each one month contract unit only.  Changes to self-hosted images require STM approval before they are posted.  Please contact Jennette Anderson or Kelly Long at info@smartandtrendymoms.com for placement options before sending graphic files. Please include the URL, if any, to be linked to the image and “alt” tag content if desired.

About My reviews

  I put a LOT of energy and thought in to my posts. I take images, and I like to show the product being reviewed in action. I want to promote your product the best that I can.

When will you let me know if my item will/has been reviewed?
Once I receive your item, I will email you and let you know that I received it and when your post will go up.
How long will it be, once you receive the product, before it is highlighted?
 I make every effort to review products in a timely manner. Sometimes, however, real life (Being a mom) gets in the way.
Will you tell me when the review is posted?
I will email you when the review of your item(s) is scheduled to be posted, or is already posted, and will send you the permalink.
Can we require a positive review?
While I promise honest feedback, your submission is not guaranteed a super-positive review. If I feel that your product does not meet quality standards, I will contact you before posting any comments. I also reserve the right not to post a review if I feel in any way the product will not relate to my family nor my readers. All reviews posted here are honest and truthful.
How long will our product be highlighted?
You’ll have the top spot until the next review/giveaway/feature is posted. At times, I will post more than one in a week. Once your review moves from the top spot, it will be scrollable on the homepage for a period of time. All reviews are also permanently accessible in the archives and are searchable by category.
Can I be permanently accessible?
Yes! Your post will always be on my blogsite. I am also currently working on monthly and yearly rates for sidebar advertising. If you are interested in advertising, please contact me!
Will my product be returned?
No products will be returned. Once something is given as a review it becomes my sole property. I will fully test and use these products making returning them just impossible. Often, I will do an ongoing review and post several write ups about that item. With this, I am unable to return products.
How will you post/review about me?
Once I get your item, I will review it, test it,for strength ,detail,craftsmanship,packaging, take my own images for the review post, then I will get it written up and once the link is live, I will email that link to you. I may also use any images you already have!

Will I have to pay for your to review my item?
NO! As long as I can get an item to review from your company, I will post the review at no charge. I do currently have ad rates are for companies that would like their banner added to my front page.
Where do i send my item to be reviewed?
