Advertising & Editorial Policies

Triad Smarty Pants offers a variety of affordable options for advertisers to reach Triad-area moms on our site. A paying advertiser is clearly labeled as a "Smarty Sponsor," or displayed as a banner ad.

We endorse only those products and services we believe in whole-heartedly - either through our own personal experiences or through the trusted word of other moms. Therefore, we reserve the right to refuse advertisers and will not accept advertising for the sake of advertising. And our readers know that.

Additionally, our advertisers do not influence what we cover editorially. We also reserve the right to cover topics and review products, stores, and services as we see fit, and not necessarily as a "Smarty Sponsor."

Editorially, we seek a variety of postions and perspectives from our guest bloggers, and we do not necessarily endorse these views. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. We just want to share the information :)

We select Smarty Moms ourselves and also receive suggestions and nominations from readers and potential Smarty Moms, themselves. We also post event information we receive from our readers, as well as from event organizers, publicists and public relations agencies.

In regards to our give-aways, every winner is chosen by random. When you register, your name is assigned a number. At the end of the give-away, we check to see how many people register, then we enter that number into a website called Random.org and that site randomly selects our winner. Once we determine a winner, we cross check the name with our newsletter subscriber list. If the winner is not a newsletter subscriber, then we repeat the process until we find a winner who is a newsletter subscriber.

If you are interested in partnering with us at Triad Smarty Pants, email us here and we'll be happy to answer questions on rates, reader demographics, and site statistics. Enjoy the site!
