A Review of VibeReview.com – The Sex Shop I Trust!
Happy New Toy Tuesday. Today instead of review something I’ve got here, I wanted to review VibeReview.com itself. We (bloggers) tend to test and report on a lot of products. We are asked to put our names with a company and expect that what we say is going to be backed up by the store we are representing. We are literally signing our name to it like a presidential campaign, “I am Catalina and I approve this message.” By the way, I posted this originally at Catalina Loves.com. It is reflective only of my opinion.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about the blogging review and affiliate program. Some people have been on the fence about which company we should get behind. My nomination and vote goes for VibeReview.com.
No, I don’t get paid to write my reviews from VibeReview.com – guess what? I don’t work for them in any capacity. That frees me up to say that I don’t like a product if I don’t like it. I can write my review to my specs. I don’t have to include any hoaky text, there are no real demands on my review other than test it, write about it, link to it. I choose to be an affiliate, so it works out that if you buy that product through my sites because I recommended it, then great, I get a 20% commission. Don’t plan on making a living this way, but it adds up and you can buy a nice pair of shoes!
If you haven’t noticed, aside from Liberator.com, the only sex toy store I represent is VibeReview.com. I choose to link my brands, Catalina Loves and Best Sex Bloggers.com, with theirs. Why am I so loyal and why is it that I love VibeReview.com and recommend it to other bloggers, and in particular to consumers? Because they have never once been anything but honest and genuine with me. Integrity goes a long way. I feel loyal to them because they are the little guy. They are scrappy. They want business and they provide better customer service than anywhere else I’ve seen. You know how it is – big companies aren’t too concerned about you unless you’re bringing in serious affiliate money.
Look at your choices. VibeReview.com is a fantastic company. Their commitment to the Blogger CommUNITY is so strong that though we haven’t worked out the details, they are willing to help sponsor the Butterfly Temptress Cancer Fund after another toy store (the sex shop I do not trust) rescinded their offer. All with just a phone call from me. No, it’s not that I’m amighty and powerful (well, I am kinda) but that their human compassion outweighs a net loss of income. That’s a company I want to do business with!

Do you get sent toys to review or just use their affiliate program?

I do both. I get toys to review and I use their affiliate program.
