Hi. I'm Indiana.
Hello, there! It is an understatement to say that I adore what I do here on Adored Austin, and I hope that by looking over my site, you can tell that it's something I absolutely love doing. It's my goal to dedicate even more time to doing Adored Austin, and it's my dream to be able to expand Adored Austin into a local weekly news segment, a column in a print publication, a web series, and local television show.
Although I only launched Adored Austin a year ago, already my stats are incredible. I've been featured on sites like Glamour.com (twice!) and BeautifulStranger.tv. Adored Austin was featured in a full page spread of the Rare Magazine, and I was nominated for a Texas Social Media Award. Tommy Hilfiger named me as one of their five "Top Digital Fashionistas to Watch For" and most recently LuckyMag.com named Adored Austin as one of their top top twenty "Sites We Love". I know! I can hardly believe it myself!
I have been amazed to see my little blog become immensely popular. I like to think it's because I'm not afraid to write exactly like how I talk to my closest friends. I feel like my readers know me, and because they actively participate in my site and we send over 300 emails a week to each other, I feel like I know them, too. I truly consider my readers my friends.
There are several ways you can partner with Adored Austin, and although my readership is wide, I've kept my rates incredibly reasonable to accommodate emergent designers, small businesses, and independent artisans. I can work with almost any budget, so please do not hesitate to ask. In a lot of cases, I even consider barter agreements instead of traditional, monetary compensation. I'd be more than happy to send you my partners package that includes my rates.
In addition to my work on Adored Austin, I am an Alpha Shopper for Lucky Magazine (online) and the fashion blogger for local events website Do512.com.
Traditional Ad Space:
Maximize your brand recognition with a static ad on Adored Austin with an outgoing link. This will include a monthly wrap-up post, a twitter blast, and any of the additional promotions below at no extra fee. Ad sizes are on the right.
Featured Giveaways:
Do you have a great product that you would love to share with Adored Austin readers? If so you can provide an item for a giveaway. I will do a featured post and randomly select a winner (or winners) to receive the prize(s). These featured giveaways generate the most traffic to the site and past giveaway partners report exponential increases in their web traffic and brand visibility after partnering with Adored Austin. Bonus: I usually draw the winner on video, and you are free to embed that video on your own site for your own use.
Outfit Post Integration and reviews:
I photograph and itemize all my clothing items and accessories on Adored Austin as well as Weardrobe, Lucky Style Spotter, Chictopia, and my Flickr stream. As a partner, if you'd like to donate something to incorporate into my daily outfit posts, I will gladly do so (if it goes with my style, of course). I have a varied style aesthetic, so please feel free to ask! I can even do a giveaway of the item once I've featured it on my site.
I do reviews on a case by case basis and do not accept money for reviews in accordance to FTC guidelines and in complete transparency and integrity for my readers.
For more information about providing a gift item, please read my post "Regarding Courtesy Items on Adored Austin" that I wrote my readers regarding my policy on this.
Shop Visits and Local Events:
I adore Austin, and I share my city's goal of making it a city known for its rich, eclectic style. If you are a local business owner and would like me to visit your shop or attend your event, I would love to meet you and discuss featuring you on Adored Austin. I will also include your event on my public calendar and my Do512.com page.
Exclusive Promo Codes or Discounts:
Everyone loves discounts! If you'd like to offer Adored Austin readers a discount, I would gladly let my readers know about it.
Austin-based contributor:
I love writing and studied new media entertainment journalism in college. If your publication or website is interested in having me cover Austin events or Austin fashion, please contact me. I write, take photos, and can even do HD video blogs. I'd be more than happy to send you my résumé online.
If you have any questions or comments or would like to know my rates or barter terms, please email me at indiana [at] adoredaustin [dot] com, and I'll gladly email you my press kit, partnership package, and/ or contributors package. I can't wait to team up with you!
