Why advertise with Joy Reflected?
Joy Reflected is a daily lifestyle blog that attracts a dedicated and ever-growing international audience comprised almost entirely of married women with children whose desire is to find the joy in daily life. The majority of my readers visit at least once a day, some several times a week. I’ve seen at least a 10-20% growth each month over the last several months.
What helps drive traffic?
Besides daily facebook, twitter, and google traffic, I also contribute to Homemakers Challenge; a growing and well-known site that helps increase traffic and credibility.

CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIP
To develop and expand the online presence of Joy Reflected, Chelsey Hall would like to attend 1-3 conferences per year. To help with expenses associated with tickets, travel, accommodations, food and additional expenses, Joy Reflected partners with companies who would like to be represented at these conferences. An exclusive sponsor would receive the following:
- 300 x 250 above the fold advertising for 3 months.
- Sidebar advertising (125px by 125px) for 9 months.
- Two dedicated posts about the conference, before and after, that will include a thank you message to your company with an organic text link to your website
- Tweets, including your company’s Twitter handle, twice a week before the conference, twice a day during the conference and twice after the conference.
- A shirt or laptop bag with your company logo worn at the conference and featured in photos that will later be posted on Facebook.
- Dedicated space on the back Chelsey’s business cards that mention your company as her sponsor.
I am open to customizing a package to fit the needs of an exclusive sponsor. Partial sponsors would have a package customized for them depending on the amount given.
In 2012, Chelsey has an interest in attending the following conferences:
- Blissdom: Blogging & Social Media Conference / February 23- 25, 2012 / Nashville, TN / 500+ Attendees / $500 needed

PAID REVIEWS
If you would like to submit a product for review you are welcome to do so. If your product, book or other item is selected for publication it will be archived on Joy Reflected indefinitely and at the discretion of Joy Reflected. With the post Joy Reflected will include your contact information for purchasing. If you want a guaranteed review then there is a $20 fee that includes mentions on Twitter and Facebook.
I am always happy to review products/services that could benefit my family and readers. I am also interested in anything related to cooking, home decor, fashion, books, home schooling products and products that moms use. Contact me to set something up.
Please consider the following guidelines before submitting products for review:
- I cannot guarantee that every product will be reviewed and published unless you pay the $20 fee or we have come to an alternate agreement.
- I regret that we will not be able to return any items submitted for review. Additionally, I cannot guarantee that items used in a review will be repackaged for a reader giveaway. Should you desire to provide me with additional products for a giveaway then I will be happy to host that at our site for you when your review is published. You are responsible for mailing the products to the winner. Please do not mail giveaway items to me.
- Generally, items submitted for review are ready for publication within 4-6 weeks; however, some items may take up to months of faithful use for an accurate and helpful review. Please note that items I specifically request for review may be published sooner, as they are generally part of a special feature I am working on for upcoming articles. I do make exceptions for most blog tours but please give me ample time to read the material.
Things of note:
Though I will consider all offers, I love homemade and/or handmade products and love supporting work-at-home moms and small businesses.
