Sponsors and Advertisers


September 27, 2008 by The Amies  

Heart of the Matter offers you an audience that is fast growing, loyal and highly receptive for your advertisement. You will be able to reach your target audience vs. a scattered hit and miss approach. We offer several opportunities for partnership. Please email us at the.amies@heartofthemattermagazine.com to receive a copy of our detailed media kit and reader demographics.

Here are just some of the ways we can serve you:

  • Website Ads
  • Digital Magazine Ads
  • Newsletter Ads
  • Conference Ads
  • Reviews
  • Giveaways

Qualifications

We are particular about the ads we choose to display on our site. We keep our readers in mind while deciding whether or not to accept an ad. For this reason we suggest that all sponsors’ products or services be child related in nature or a family business. Direct sales, work-from-home, and multi-level marketing ads will not be accepted regardless of products or services offered. We reserve the right to refuse any company that does not meet the particular needs of our readers.

Reviews

Our product reviews are FREE! Our statistics show that product reviews and word of mouth advertising are considered two of the top reasons why consumers choose to purchase certain homeschool products. Through suggestions and surveys from our online community of subscribers and readers, we actively request products, curriculum and books for review that we believe meet our readers’ needs and magazine’s demographic.

Although we have a large team of writers that we sometimes recruit to help with product reviews, please know that the only persons who are authorized to request product materials for review on our behalf are: Amy Stults, Amy Bayliss, Karin Taylor, Angela DeRossett, and Marsha Drews.  If anyone else contacts you claiming to be with HeartOfTheMatterOnline.com, please contact us immediately for confirmation. Please do not release a product to any other person without our confirmation.

If you would like to submit a product for review we welcome you to do so at no additional charge! If your product, book or curriculum selected for publication we will archive its review on our site indefinitely and include your contact information for purchasing.

In order to have your product considered for reviews please email the.amies@heartofthematteronline.com with the following information: Name of products to be reviewed, brief description of products (including age group or level), and is it a hard copy or e-book?

Please consider the following guidelines before submitting:

  • To date, we have published reviews or are in the process of publishing reviews for every product we have received. However, we cannot guarantee that every product will be reviewed and published.
  • We regret that we will not be able to return any items submitted for review.  Additionally, items used in a review cannot be repackaged for a reader giveaway. Should you desire to provide us with additional products for a giveaway then we will be happy to host that at our site for you when your review is published.
  • Generally, items submitted for review are ready for publication within 6-8 weeks; however, some curriculum may take up to six months of faithful use for an accurate and helpful review.  Please note that items we specifically request for review may be published sooner, as they are generally part of a special feature we are working on for upcoming issues.
