<h2>Are you interested in partnering with Rowsandall.com?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The founding principle for rowsandall.com was, and still is, free data
|
|
and analysis for rowers. Fulfilling that mission means that we try to test
|
|
and support as many widely used rowing related hardware and software
|
|
products as possible. Since these products typically have rapid update
|
|
cycles for bug fixes and new features, having ready access to the
|
|
products enables us to keep rowsandall.com working well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At the same time, one of the most powerful marketing and publicity
|
|
for niche products like rowing gear is word of mouth reviews and
|
|
endorsements from "real" users.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We are open to working together with partners serving the rowing
|
|
community. To maintain maximum transparency to our users, we have
|
|
the following principles for collaboration:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On <a href="https://blog.rowsandall.com/">blog.rowsandall.com</a>,
|
|
<a href="https://analytics.rowsandall.com/">analytics.rowsandall.com</a> and through
|
|
our Twitter account, we write about hardware, software, and other
|
|
rowing related kit that we have used, tested, and are enthusiastic about. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>We welcome evaluation hardware and software products to try
|
|
out.</li>
|
|
<li>We make no specific commitment in exchange for these products.</li>
|
|
<li>We do not formally publish product reviews, however, we may or
|
|
may not
|
|
mention your product
|
|
on <a href="https://blog.rowsandall.com">blog.rowsandall.com</a>
|
|
or
|
|
<a href="https://analytics.rowsandall.com">analytics.rowsandall.com</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>If there are reasons why we are not satisfied with the unit, but
|
|
we feel that an improved version would serve the rowing community,
|
|
we may contact you with constructive criticism. We try to not mention
|
|
your product in a negative way on our public blogs or twitter.
|
|
However, we retain the freedom to engage in online discussions
|
|
about your product, but will try to keep our communication
|
|
factual.</li>
|
|
<li>We encourage vendors to send us their products for testing.
|
|
We are especially interested in software and hardware used
|
|
for indoor and
|
|
on-the-water rowing.</li>
|
|
<li>We do not accept equipment on loan. This is our policy because
|
|
this is an informal collaboration, we do not have the ability
|
|
to accept financial responsibility for loss, breakage or return
|
|
shipping.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For evaluation consideration, please contact us
|
|
at info@rowsandall.com with
|
|
information about your product/service including any important
|
|
links or images prior to sending the product.</p>

<h2>Examples of possible partnerships</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We currently envision a couple of ways in which we can partner with
|
|
your business. We are open for other models. If you have an interesting
|
|
proposition or want to use one of the partnership models listed below,
|
|
please contact us by email.
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Sponsorship of Pro membership.
|
|
You distribute coupon codes giving right to a year of
|
|
Pro membership to the receiver of the coupon. The coupon can be
|
|
redeemed on this website by the user. He or she will get a year of
|
|
Pro membership sponsored by you. Rowsandall.com will send you a
|
|
regular invoice based on the number of redeemed coupons. </li>
|
|
<li>Purchasing blocks of Pro membership coupons.
|
|
This is similar to the above, except that you pay in advance (at
|
|
a reduced rate) a "block" of Pro membership coupons.</li>
|
|
<li>Advertising. If you decide to support rowsandall.com through
|
|
advertising, we will create a top banner where you as a sponsor
|
|
have space to put up a clickable static picture. Contact us for
|
|
rates and details on the size of the advertisement and possible
|
|
duration of the campaign. We reserve the right to decline
|
|
advertisement that don't add value to the rowing community or aren't
|
|
a good fit for the audience and content of the site.</li>
|
|
<li>Collaboration on prototypes or beta versions of your new products
|
|
(or product upgrades). You send us a product ahead of release (under
|
|
a confidentiality agreement) and we use it and provide feedback.
|
|
We will make no public comments or posts about the product, nor
|
|
would we inform anyone else.</li>
|
|
<li>Long term product feedback. Typically in the product design phase.
|
|
We would act as a sounding board for ideas, could provide feedback
|
|
on the data related features of the product. We would charge for our
|
|
time according to an agreed price.</li>
