Writing Formats

1. Short Product Review

Let’s face it, not every product requires 2000 words and a deep dive into usage. For products like simple bags, straps and grips we can keep it short and sweet. That said, we would still like to strive for being informational and educational for readers. For short product reviews let’s focus on features, get to the point and not sugar coat anything.
