Blogging: Where are the Negative Reviews?
Over the years we’ve been asked many times the following question. “Where are the negative product reviews?” Today, I’m going to answer it here on the blog.
It has always been Two Classy Chics blog policy to give sponsors & companies the opportunity to NOT have their review published if we have nothing positive to say about the product. If we feel that we can’t promote a product to our readers, we write the review and email it to the company to let them know how we feel about it. We give them the option to have that review published and 9 times out of 10, they will opt out. This is why you don’t see the majority of them. Have we ever published one? Of course!
With that said, we try to find the positives in every product that we review. If we don’t like a movie, a salad dressing or a pair of pants for whatever reason, we will say so in our review & also state that we are all individuals and just because we didn’t like something, doesn’t mean you won’t.
If you’ve been reading this blog long enough…you will already know that our reviews are 100% HONEST and that we really do try out each & every product that we review. We are NOT about quantity here on this blog, we don’t care to publish a dozen non-genuine reviews here…nope, sorry! We are all about writing quality reviews and sharing our honest opinions with our readers, YOU!
You can always tell which blogs are about Quantity versus those blogs who are all about Quality. If you see a dozen + posts being slammed up every day with a crap-load of copy/paste information within them…well, that speaks to quantity, not quality. Plus, if you see bloggers NEVER or RARELY publishing original photographs that they’ve personally taken with their reviews, well, again…you have to be suspicious on whether they actually tried out the product. Trust me, there are people who “fake it” and don’t try out products and simply re-sell them for profit. It’s a shame, but every profession has a few bad apples.
Let me give you a little example of something that happened almost 2 years ago.
I wrote a review on a pair of women’s capri pants. I loved the color, the fabrication and how they fit around my waist, etc. Within that review…I mentioned that in MY OPINION, they were NOT capris, but actually ankle-length pants because they hit me right above the ankle, not right below my knees. I’m of average height 5 foot 6″ tall and they were supposed to be for average height. I loved almost everything about those pants, except I thought the length (size) was very mis-leading. I published the review which was 90% positive and even so, that company never worked with any member of our team again. What a shame, but we will ALWAYS be honest with our readers.
With all of that said, I wanted to finally answer this question publicly here on Two Classy Chics blog, so that everyone could read our answer. You can be assured that every review you read on this blog is our 100% honest opinion, good or bad.
