I love collaborating with brands and sponsors that provide great products that my readers will enjoy knowing more about. Want to see how I've been doing that lately and how you can get on board?
Let's take a look.....
Overview
DESIGNED w/Carla Aston is updated at least twice a week with articles that focus on interior design tips, trends, inspiration, and industry innovations & analysis. I live, eat, sleep and breathe design; and, according to my readers, my passion can be felt through my "casually elegant" and very "personal" writing style. (Again, a compliment I'll gladly accept from my audience ;-)
Demographics
DESIGNED w/Carla Aston is enjoyed by casual interior design enthusiasts, as well as design professionals from every area of the industry. Across the board, they're decisive, style-conscious, mid-high income, college-educated consumers, from young adults upward, and gender is balanced almost 50/50. They are highly open to innovation, remain practical, looking for utility as well as beauty. Many of my readers are capable of influencing a wide circle of clients, friends and colleagues.
Brands
DESIGNED w/Carla Aston would love to partner with brands, retailers and/or service providers whose offerings fall anywhere within the commerce category of interior design. Also wanted: Artists of all kinds, Etsy shop owners, and anyone else who sells beautiful, useful products for the home. ;-)
The DESIGNED Network
The DESIGNED w/Carla Aston brand's audience-reach spans beyond this blog, as it has continuously-growing followings on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. My blog currently has 4,200+ email subscribers.

I have two levels of sponsorship currently, Gold (booth visit), and Platinum (event visit, for special event during show).
