How Vanlifezone recommends works
Product testing and reviews
We rigorously test each product to ensure it meets our standards.
Our team writes detailed reviews, covering functionality, benefits, and overall performance.
Articles include high-quality images to give users a clear idea of the product.
Recommendation gallery
Products are featured in the Vanlifezone Recommends gallery.
Each product card can include:
Purchase Link: Directs users to the company’s online shop, usually through an affiliate link.
Article Link: Leads to the comprehensive review article in our journal, hosted on vanlifezone.com/journal.
Journal gallery integration
The reviews are published alongside adventure stories from van lifers around the world and other informative articles.
This integration ensures that our community, the authors, their followers and friends, as well as general visitors, discover these articles, expanding the reach of the product recommendations.
Benefits for companies
Authentic exposure
Our recommendations are genuine and based on thorough testing, building trust with our community and increasing the likelihood of product sales.
High-quality content
For the one-time fee of 500 Euros, companies receive a professionally written article and a set of high-quality images.
This content is published in our journal on our website, providing valuable exposure. Our focus on optimizing our content and pages for search engines can generate further leads outside of our community.
Additionally, the article is shared on our social media channels, tapping into a following of over 24,000 real users and increasing the potential reach yet again.
Targeted marketing
Products are showcased to a niche audience interested in van life, travel, and outdoor adventure, ensuring higher interest and engagement.
Affiliate partnerships
Affiliate links ensure that Vanlifezone, our community, and our partners benefit from sales.
Companies offer a discount to our community, making their products more attractive while Vanlifezone earns a small commission to support and improve the platform’s quality and reach.
Benefits for users
Trusted reviews
Users can rely on our honest assessments, knowing that we recommend only the products we genuinely believe in. If we do find downsides to a product, we do not hesitate to point them out.
Inspiration and information
Our digital journal offers a wealth of information about van life and travel experiences, making Vanlifezone a go-to source for inspiration and practical advice. Similarly, our reviews aim to provide users with the best information available.
Exclusive discounts
Following our recommendations gives users access to exclusive discounts, making high-quality products more affordable.
Convenient shopping
Direct links to purchase products make it easy for users to find and buy items that fit their needs, saving time and effort.
How to list your products
Submit your product
Purchase a listing from our recommends gallery
Then wait for Vanlifezone to contact you or directly contact marketing@vanlifezone.com to submit your product for review, providing all necessary details and supporting materials.
Send your product to Vanlifezone. If the value of the product exceeds 1,000€ or the size makes it impossible to ship, we will work closely with you to find a solution.
Set up affiliate partnership
Set up an affiliate link to enable discounts for users coming from our platform and to share a small commission with Vanlifezone. Both usually are around 10% but can be agreed upon individually.
Product review and testing
Our team will test your product to ensure it meets our standards, focusing on functionality, quality, and user benefits.
Content creation
After extensive testing of the product, we create a detailed article complete with professional images.
Publication
Your product is featured in our recommendation gallery and journal, and the article is shared on social media ensuring maximum visibility. The review will be on our website for a year.
(Optional) giveaway on social media
Hosting a giveaway on social media can direct additional attention towards your product and help familiarize the community with it. This can be agreed upon individually.
Repeating annual fee
If you want the review to be online for more than a year, an annual fee of 250€ will be applicable after the first year.
Alternatively to the "article-amplify" listing, you can also purchase a simple "gallery-only" listing for just 250€. This listing will add your product to our recommends gallery with an affiliate link to your purchasing page. It does not include a product review or an article in our journal and will not be shared on our social media. This listing will also need to be renewed annually.

Vanlifezone’s recommendation system benefits both companies and users by providing genuine, trusted reviews and high-quality content. We help users make informed purchasing decisions while offering companies an effective platform to reach their target audience.
