Our Policy on Sponsorship, Collaboration, and Advertising
Can a restaurant invite chowluckclub.com team for food tasting or give a media gift in exchange for a feature write-up?
A write-up or social posting will only be done if we deem it interesting enough. Free sponsorship of meals, products, or event invitation does not automatically guarantee a write-up, although we will try our best. However, if the food or experience is really bad, it will not be published and we will instead provide feedback and advise the owners. A restaurant cannot expect a raving review just because they gave us a freebie.
Can a featured company tell chowluckclub what to say in the article?
Our editorial policy is that articles are based on our independent voice and choice and will not be subject to any business's editing or direction. Only if the facts are wrong will we make correction edits, but we will not be obliged to external requests.
Can we pay chowluckclub.com to write an article about us?
In general, articles on the publication are from meals and experiences that have been paid out of our own budget or through media invites. However, to sustain the operations, we also do paid-for advertorials to support our writers. These paid-for articles will be specifically indicated as sponsorship/partnership advertorials. However, our editorial standards will still need to be upheld.
Can we trust chowluckclub.com of not being biased when you're receiving sponsored meals?
Credibility is most important to chowluckclub. Articles are written as honestly as possible from the perspectives of our writers, and we will not have ratings or any overhyped recommendations. Whether a meal is paid-for or sponsored will not affect what we say. As mentioned above, our team of writers are more like a sharing from trusted friends with proven palates. Our site will also not contain ratings.
How do I get chowluckclub.com to do paid advertorials?
For paid advertorial campaigns, interested parties can contact our marketing team via info@chowluckclub.com or contact us. Note that payment for these will have to be in cash and not food vouchers. Also kindly note that chowluckclub.com maintains our right to reject would-be clients deemed to be detrimental to readers and our members.
How much lead time do we need to give chowluckclub.com to publish an article?
The publishing lead time for articles is two weeks, but this is subject to the editor’s discretion and how urgent the promotion is.
What kind of promotions can we do with chowluckclub.com?
From Giveaways to hosting, many options can be further explored if you contact our business team.
