Advertising & PR with Southern Hospitality

Why partner with Southern Hospitality?

Thanks for stopping by to inquire about partnering with Southern Hospitality.  With 5 years of blogging under my belt, I’ve established a wonderful and interactive relationship with my readers and we share a love of home and hearth. I consider them my friends. I only accept ads that I think my readers would relate to, might enjoy, and could benefit from.

The topics range from:

• Decorating a beautiful home on a budget
• Thrifty shopping
• DIY projects and tutorials, including painted furniture
• Yardsale and thriftstore finds
• Garden projects
• Cooking and recipes
• Travel and adventures in the South, as well as other parts of the country.
• Many other fun topics that appeal to women of all age ranges. I love my readers and only want to pass on great information to them. They trust my opinion and judgment and I want to keep that trust intact.

Southern Hospitality has grown by leaps and bounds the last 5 years and keeps growing. The camaraderie is fun, interesting, and interactive.  My readers range from 20-somethings to 70-somethings and all of them have an interest in the home.
