- high resolution image file in gif, jpg, png, or pdf formats,

Yes but it needs to be professionally edited.

All reviews will be posted on Just Commonly, and will be shared on social media sites including but not limited to facebook, twitter and pinterest.

Reviews for retailer sites usually go up within 2 weeks of blog post.
