Because CHIC GALLERIA MAGAZINE features a unique combination of content that is presented both wholly and in segmented form, we appeal to a large segment of the online community. But there’s one thing most of our visitors have in common…they’re Chic.

Since its inception in 2007, CHIC GALLERIA MAGAZINE has continued to grow its readership with a diverse group of expert contributors focusing on our reader’s favorite content areas: STYLE, FOOD and SHOPPING with a little Arts & Entertainment, Body & Mind and Home & Family thrown into the mix.

Showcased in a fresh and cohesive web design that encourages user interaction and feedback, the visually engaging and undeniably relevant content presented here attracts a wide swath of the browsing demographic.

We then augment the content with incentives like our Giveaways in which visitors can comment to win goods and services from our sponsors, featured advertisers, or the entrepreneurs we’ve presented in any of our editorial foci.

We’ve taken great lengths to combine contributions for our distinct editorial departments. Our contributors are experts in their field and range from fashion bloggers to gourmet chefs. They write plainly and readers understand them.

We’ve worked hard to establish our brand and it’s catching on.

Product Reviews and Features
We always strive for a mutually beneficial arrangement.

We prefer not to do Product Reviews. We prefer to highlight products on the SHOP page or use them in an outfit post. However, if you would like to send a product sample, please send an email to us with all written information about the company and product you would like us to share to info@chicgalleria.com. We won’t ask for a sample unless we already think we’re interested. We accept samples for evaluating products and services that we intend to feature. We respect our readers and will not feature a product review unless we really believe it’s worth our time to write it. No products will be returned.

If your product or service aligns with our philosophy and style, We will:

Accept products provided at no cost. We will not purchase any items at a discounted rate for the sole purpose of review or a feature.

Provide a timely feature and advise you of the scheduled publication of your post.

Maintain full editorial control and copyright for all reviews or features. Copy will not be provided to you/your company for editorial review before publication.

Fully disclose that products were provided to us.

Include one link to your site.

Send at least one tweet about the post that also references your company in the tweet, if applicable.

Outfit Posts
Incorporate your item into an outfit post: As a sponsor, you may mail us an item to be incorporated into an outfit featured by our Editor in Chief, Beth Anderson (mature), model Clara Anderson (teen) or one of our interns (young adult), for product placement in photos to appear on ChicGalleria.com, Luckymag.com, MyChicThings.com, as well as LOOKBOOK.nu. We itemize everything worn for these articles and we link according to sponsorship. This will boost your advertisement significantly. Keep in mind that we will only model, write, and video blog about something that we actually love – it has to be relevant to our readership demographic. Items will not be returned.
Sponsored Posts
Interested in a sponsored post? We know we’ve mentioned this before, but your product or service must be something we really love. Chic Galleria magazine will heavily promote your business through advertorial content on ChicGalleria.com. We personally write articles focusing on your business and events sponsored/attended by you. Our articles not only review your products, we thoroughly promote your brand to our readership. We highlight current trends and educate the consumer on your brand in an elaborate and sophisticated way. We’re happy to create a post under these guidelines:

We MUST disclose that we received compensation for a sponsored post. This is an FTC-mandated requirement and is not optional or negotiable. This disclosure will appear at the end of the post:
“This post is sponsored by [COMPANY NAME]. While I received compensation for authoring this post, product selections, descriptions, and opinions are 100% that of the writer.”

Chic Galleria maintains full editorial control and copyright for all sponsored posts. Copy will not be provided to you/your company for editorial review before publication.

We will include at least one link to your site, possibly more.

We will send at least one tweet about the post that also references your company in the tweet, if applicable.

Giveaways
If you would like to contribute a prize and sponsor a contest, I will evaluate on a case-by-case basis.
