Want to be a design blogger?
We love to hear from our customers how they discover new trends, products, and ideas. So we thought it may be interesting to have a few people participate in our blog “Perspective On Design”!
Are you interested?
Here are just a few things we’ll ask of you:
1) Clearly, have good writing skills.
2) Have a style that fits the feel of our company. Our style is unusual in the way we present our posts from a personal experience to a very bland “look what we found” perspective. Sometimes we’re bitchy, sometimes we’re giddy over new products. Other times… we’re just bizarre.
3) Know your stuff. Know when a product or company is unique, new, fresh and exciting. We’re not looking for people to just share what they see on a million other blogs or publications. Truly step out and post the unusual.
4) You can be affiliated with another blog or company. That’s just fine. If you are a blogger that works across multiple blogs, feel free to plug your own blog when appropriate. Just keep it professional and not overdone. We’ll even help by linking to your blog from ours ... as a form of recognition and thanks for your efforts.
You may ask “what do I get out of this?!”.
Well, It’s a great way to share your finds with our readers. It’s fun. It’s a good way to kill time when you should be doing something else. And if you’re a beginner in the world of blogs, it’s great to get some exposure.
What we can tell you is - we’ll provide any guest bloggers with incentives on occasion (freebies, discounts, advance notice of super specials), etc. If we discover a wildly successful product through your efforts, we’ll even say thanks by sending you one! *
If this sounds at all entertaining, feel free to contact us here… using the subject ”I want to blog!”

It would help us in evaluating if you’re a good fit by:
a) provide us a blog entry you’ve done in the past
b) send a sample of what you would write about and what you think is a good idea with a link to the product
c) send a writing sample of any other type that shows your writing style
We’ll get back to every person as soon as possible. We’re limiting the number of guest bloggers initially until we see how this will fly. So don’t be grumpy if we just can’t accommodate every interested person. We’ll sure try though!
Thanks!

* While we hope to provide incentives to a blogger who may turn us on to a good idea, it’s not always feasible. This form of “thanks” is at our discretion and is not guaranteed.
