BLOG, LINKS & PHOTO DISCLOSURE POLICY FOR GIA GREGORY AND GIA GREGORY DESIGNS LLC

OVERVIEW
Gia Gregory Designs LLC and its affiliates, including, without limitation, Gia Gregory Designs LLC, Gia Gregory Designs, Gia Gregory Creative, Homeward Market and Neo-Carolina (collectively, “Gia Gregory Designs,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) permit access to our blog, including any website URL, or social media account of ours that we have linked to this page (collectively, “websites”), free of charge to provide information about Gia Gregory Designs' products and services and products and services we write about. We have established this Blog, Links & Photo Disclosure Policy, which explain the rules of use for our blog, to promote a safe, non-offensive environment for all of our users. By using our wbsite and blog, you agree to be bound by this Blog, Links & Photo Disclosure Policy.

BLOG & LINKS
If posting about my work (within my portfolio or blog post or social media post about my work), I post a link to another company for products and services I have used, it is in the interest of full disclosure of materials and services used in our designs and renovations. It is intended as a service to my readers and visitors to my website and social media accounts because when I go to the websites of other designers and I admire a paint color, fabric or other detail, I like to know what it is and I find it annoying when others will not share a paint color as if it is propietary information. I believe sharing such information can greatly inspire others.

If I post a blog post that contains any links for services other than described above, I will include the following disclosure:

"DISCLOSURE: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS WE MAY RECEIVE A COMMISSION IF YOU CLICK A LINK AND PURCHASE SOMETHING. PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR DISCLOSURE POLICY FOR MORE DETAILS."

Please consider yourself fully disclosed…

  • This blog may accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. We may choose to make money via affiliate links.
  • I find it impossible to promote items I don’t like or love, therefore if I am recommending a product it is because I truly like it or love it, and think it might be a worthwhile time or money investment for myself and others. If I don’t like something you will either know about it because I find it impossible to keep my mouth shut, or I won’t mention it at all. I know those options seem like exact opposites but what I’m trying to say is that I don’t write fake reviews so I’m not going to pretend to love something when in actuality I think it’s the worst thing ever. That’s not my style.
  • Sponsored posts are those posts where someone is paying me to write about a specific topic. If I ever run one it will be clearly marked as being paid content.
  • This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity.
  • The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely mine (obviously).
  • This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

This blog is written and edited by me, Gia Gregory, of Gia Gregory Designs, Gia Gregory Creative, Homeward Market and Neo-Carolina. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at gia@giagregory.com.
