How we may make money, and what it doesn't buy

It would be helpful if Love Your Brands makes money, and we'd rather tell you how that might happen than have you guess. To support the site we need income to keep it all going.

Advertising

We may run ads on this site and we will advertise this site elsewhere. Advertisers don't see reviews before they go up and don't choose which products we cover.

Reports

We may sell detailed readouts of our poll results to brands, retailers and media. They get the numbers. They don't get to change them, and on public pages they don't see them before you do — poll results are visible on the review page from the first vote onwards.

Sponsorship and paid posts

If a brand pays for a piece of content or a partnership, it will always be presented in an open way. That piece will always say so in plain words, as you read it. Not a hashtag at the bottom. If it doesn’t say so, it’s just us choosing to post about it.

What money doesn't buy

A score, a verdict, a kind word, or the removal of an unkind one. If we've been paid, you'll know who paid before you reach the part where we say something nice.

How we got the product

Right now, all products have been bought retail by us. In future, if we are ever sent a sample or paid to ensure a post on a product is conducted, every on of those reviews will say how the thing reached us.

A free sample has never bought a good review here. But you should get to weigh it yourself, so we tell you every time.

Poll results aren't for sale

We won't hide a poll result because a brand paid us. We won't re-run a poll to get a better number, and we won't quietly close one that's going badly. If a product does poorly here the numbers stay up, and any paying client gets exactly the numbers you can see.

Corrections

If we've got a fact wrong — a price, a size, an ingredient, who makes it — email hello@loveyourbrands.com.au. If we agree, we'll fix it and note in the piece that we did.
