[Boo Radley]

IMPORTANT:
At this time the reviews are placed on hold until October. We'll update this post when we're ready to accept more. We appreciate all we've received and thank everyone for their time on this.



======================================
I need help writing useful guides about stores and merchants (online as well as brick and mortar stores). In return I’ll send you a $7 Shoppers Drug Mart Gift Card for each store guide you write.

These store guides have to be professionally written and can’t be copy and pasted off the Internet. If you’re taking information from the Internet you need to reword it.

You need to send me a private message first telling me which store you would like to review. Once we agree on the store you can go ahead and write your guide/review.

Members who write good guides/reviews will be welcomed to review more stores for more gift cards (there is no limit).

Here is a guideline for you to follow. However if you have a more interesting way of writing then please feel free to do so. If you don’t know a store well enough please don’t review it.

About: What the store sells or what it is best know for. An overview of the store. At least 1 paragraph.

History

Target Audience: Target Consumers / Style and average age of consumers.

Shopping guide and hints: What to buy from there and what not to buy from that store.

Sales/Discounts: You'll notice stores almost always have sale at the same time each year . When sales happen, what they're like, are they worth it, etc.

Coupons: where to find coupons for that store.

Gift Cards: e.g. they come in $10, $20, etc., policies and whether they expire or not. Gift card policy.

Return, exchange and refund policies.

Shipping: If online, shipping costs and how much you need to spend to get free shipping.

Store Locations: List of store locations based on province and city.
Price Matching Policy.

Club / Membership / Rewards benefits if available. How they work, how to benefit from them, how to redeem, what to redeem for, etc.

Contact Information: Address, Customer support, phone and email. If customer support doesn't help, is there a complaints number, or executive number.

Trivia: Any interesting information about that store.

Links: Any websites with useful or addition info about that store.

Other information: Anything else you'd like to include.


Please feel free to send me a private message asking for more details.
Do not start writing a guide/review before contacting me.

An example would be REALLY helpful, as would a list of stores already reviewed. And as a guideline for those of us in small towns, are you looking for only national chain stores or what?
