Submit Product
Please read this very carefully to submit product to Uptown Liz.
Uptown Liz is a retail referral Web site, which means we do not sell the products, only link to them. There are two requirements to have product listed on our Web site. The product must have proceeds that are donated to a charitable organization, and the product must be sold online. If your product meets those requirements, please read below for submission instructions. If you sell more than one product that benefits charity, we will accept up to 25 products. Please feel free to browse our Web site to see which of your 25 products would be a good fit. We do not guarantee we will list your product and reserve the right to refuse anyone for any reason.
Due to the overwhelming requests from companies to have their products listed on our Web site, the following information must be completed correctly. If any of the information is incorrect, missing, or images/photographs are too large or too small, it will result in not being listed on Uptown Liz. Complete the following information for each product you are submitting and put in a single Word document and attach it as a file in an email along with your product image/photograph. Make sure to complete this exactly how you want it listed on the website; once your product is listed, we do not go back and make changes. Please see the example below of how it should be done.
Because Uptown Liz is a retail referral Web site, the product links must be working at all times. If we discover bad links, we will e-mail you for the new ones. If we do not hear back within 24 hours, we will remove your product from the Web site.
Once your information is received, it can take up to one week to be listed. Currently, there is no fee to be on our Web site and we do not require samples of product to be sent. Because of the high volume of visibility from our public relations and marketing efforts, there are constant promotional opportunities for our retailers that we will inform you about.
