Are you a brand looking for an economical way to get your product in front of thousands of blog readers and social media followers? Then this is the deal for you! Duct Tape and Denim is putting together our 2016 Holiday Gift Guide to help our followers find the perfect gifts for family and friends.
We are especially interested in finding handmade and unique gifts. Our readers are mostly women but they’ll be buying gifts for men and children, too. If we get enough products we’ll divide them into gifts for women, men, children, the home, and maybe even DIY/crafting gifts since so many of our readers like to make things themselves.
We will also be limiting links. For example, only 2-3 links to soap, jewelry, hair accessories, etc. And only ONE link to each MLM company, i.e., 1 Thirty One rep, 1 Tupperware dealer, 1 Young Living, etc. We will also choose items that meet the interests and values of our readers, i.e., no weight loss supplements, etc.
Your item will be listed in my 2016 Christmas Gift Guide that will be published in late September/early October. This guide will be published on all my social media platforms, including email. Numbers? As of 8/26/16:
- Monthly page views: 70,000
- Email subscribers: 3,000
- Facebook followers: 8,000
- Pinterest followers: 15,400
- Twitter followers: 2,100
- Google + followers: 600
I’ll share one of your photos for the guide and social media. If you want to send an item to me, I’ll leave that up to you. This year a dedicated blog post is NOT a part of the package but if you send me an item I’m pretty sure I’ll share my own photo of it somewhere!
