How to Write a Product Request Page for a Review Blog
When you first put your product review blog online, you’ll have to purchase, borrow or rent products to review. But as your blog becomes more and more popular, requests will begin to pour in and items will unexpectedly show up on your doorstep. How you handle these unexpected products is entirely up to you, but if you want to avoid confusion, possible slander for not reviewing the product, and requests for returned products, you need a product review request page on your blog. This is probably the easiest post you’ll ever write.

Introduce yourself. Share a little background information about yourself. Tell companies why you are the right person to review products. This is especially vital for companies that deal with high tech gadgets because they need to know that you’re not just looking for a freebie—that you understand the ins and outs of its particular industry.

Ask for products. Give specifics on what you will and will not review. If you find that you are receiving too many of the same products, put a stop to it by announcing that you will no longer accept that type of product. If you have grown tired of reviewing a specific product and are ready to review something different, state your desires.

Point to your product review disclaimer page. Discuss your review policy in complete detail here. Explain that you will not review any products if the the sending company has not reviewed your product review disclaimer.

5
Include your contact information. Even though your blog may have a contact page, and your contact information may be listed on your review disclaimer page, it never hurts to list it again. Some media contacts do not like to waste time clicking from page to page, so having your contact information readily available is a good way to guarantee you’ll be contacted, provided your review meets the company’s needs.

Tips & Warnings
Write your product request page in everyday language. Do not use legalese.
Use subheadings for each point you want to address.
Use bullet points to make the page easier to read.
If you choose to leave a mailing address off your review blog, make sure you keep your email address and phone number visible. Companies won’t ship to places that don’t appear legitimate.
