Reviews and Giveaways

Macaroni Kid Rockville-Gaithersburg LOVES to help promote local businesses and kid-friendly products! If you are interested in having your product, service, or location reviewed and/or offered as a reader giveaway, please send an e-mail to LaniM@macaronikid.com.  If we feel your product, service or location would be a good match for our readers, we will e-mail you back with more details, including where to send samples, if applicable. We make every effort to review products as quickly as possible, but sometimes we hold reviews for an appropriate holiday or newsletter theme.  
Our reviews appear in one of three feature article spots which always show up in the top portion of the newsletter and on the website.  Your review article can include an image as well. 
Feature articles tell the public about your business, why it is unique and why they should investigate further!  Often times we are able to include a personal recommendation or review if applicable.  In order to have a feature article run free of charge, you must either purchase a premium ad, or be running a product review with giveaway.  If you are just interested in having a feature sponsor article run, the cost is $40.   




A note about giveaways:  Our readers LOVE giveaways!!  We get several inquiries per day about giveaways from various businesses ranging from gift cards, to tickets, to products, and even services.  If you are not having us review your product, we require that you purchase ad space for at least one month or pay an administrative fee of $25 to cover our time and costs in administering your giveaway.  The only exception to these rules is if your giveaway is a big ticket item (over $100 retail value), in which case no ad space purchase is required.
