One of the keys to surviving the economic downturn is to join forces, create partnerships, and begin working together. In a hip-hop culture, hipster targeted niche blog industry, it’s sometimes very difficult to reach and impact the numbers of readers we would like too if were just “one blog armies”. It’s also financially difficult to expand and improve upon our web offerings if we don’t make the necessary capital to cover the cost of expansion. This is especially difficult during tough economic times, as ad revenue slows and the amount of web properties (ad inventory) increases. That’s why working collectively with other blogs within a similar genre allows each blog to feed off the other blog’s successes. This is the aim and objective for I AM IN DEMAND.COM, because if my partners aren't in demand, then neither am I.
You've probably seen us blog about one of our main partners in our strategic approach to bring (Torontonians in particular) a step closer into a fashion realm that hasn't yet reached critical mass because it purposely doesn't sell to the clone (mall shopping) population of people. There is a new generation of alternative people who understand their context within the greater society and they are no longer interested in showcasing any one particular brand when expressing themselves fashionably.
I AM IN DEMAND.COM reaches out to those people through our affiliate store called 'Multi' in Kensington Market, Toronto-Canada. In 2009 there will be some changes to this blog and MORE PARTNERSHIPS that will only give you the blog-viewer MORE options and MORE information about what's really happening in the world of trend-setting and creative lifestyles. The brands WE carry are not accesible brands within the populace of hip hop fashion stores that are out there, if it isn't anything but EXCLUSIVE then we don't want to showcase it.
