The Legal Bit / Sponsored Content
You are important to me. That's why this section of my website, while not the most interesting, is important. Here I explain how I monetise this space, and my social channels, how your data is used and stored and of course, you privacy.
Four years ago, when I started this blog, I never imagined that it would or could become a part of my career journey.
I have my favourite brands, that I have both purchased from and lusted after for years. I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when these brands reached out to work with me, here on Hunters & Heels.
To be frank, being able to make money sharing products and experiences I’m passionate about, and would share no matter what, is something I’m very very proud of, but it’s not the sole reason I’m here. I’m here for the community, the inspiration and the creativity. If all the work stopped tomorrow, I would still be here, because I love it, and that’s the truth.
What this job has allowed me to do though is dedicate more time to this space, to produce better quality content, and hopefully find more amazing things to share with you. I aim to engage with every comment and to build a relationship with anyone kind enough to share a part of their busy day with me. Of course, monetising my platforms also gives me the flexibility to be more present for my family. Now I get to put my children to bed most nights and wake up with them most mornings which is a luxury I never take forgrated.
Not a day goes by that I am not entirely grateful for the opportunities that this platform has brought me, and I’m under no illusion that it will last forever. We can only make the most of it, while it does.
It’s for all these reasons that you can be assured I will only work with brands that I genuinely love and use. I would never put my name to a brand or product that I didn’t believe in. This is the most important thing to me. If I wouldn’t buy it with my own money, you won’t find me advertising it, that is my promise. Where content has been sponsored, or is in collaboration with a brand, I am and will always be transparent about that, in line with the ASA and CMA regulations and guidelines. If I have been gifted a product or service, or have been offered a press discount, I will be transparent about that too.
As an employee (and die-hard fan) of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the brand is a big part of my life, my working week and the only make-up product I use. Therefore you will see me using their products, sharing new launches and any tips and tricks that I have to offer. So that you’re clear about my relationship with them, you will find my job title in my bio on all of my social channels. I will also label all social posts where I link back to Bobbi Brown Cosmetics as Paid Partnership. I do not recieve any payment in addition to my salary for sharing Bobbi Brown Cosmetics product, but as an employee, I am promoting the company I work for, and I need you to be fully aware of that, inline with the ASA and CMA regulations.
AFFILIATE MARKETING
From time to time, I will use affiliate links. If you’re not familiar with these, it means that if you purchase something via the link in my post, I will earn a small percentage of commission for influencing that sale. Please rest assured that this will not increase the price of the item. I will always state clearly when an affiliate link has been used.
