ABOUT SHOPPING LINKS

Shopping Links is an online marketplace designed to make it easier for Bloggers and Brands to connect and collaborate. We’ve made it our goal to specialize in the identification and engagement of the world’s leading and most up to date Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle Bloggers.

We are an Australian start-up with a significant number of leading brands and bloggers interacting with our site daily. We connect Bloggers with Brands based on their specific requirements, taking the guesswork and time out of Blogger outreach. Our automatically updated digital media kit for Bloggers means that Brands are able to make more informed choices about the Bloggers they wish to work with. What’s more, new Blogger talent is emerging daily, making it difficult for Brands and Agencies to remain on top of ‘who’s who’ and ‘who’s new’. Shopping Links makes it easier for Brands to identify and connect with new talent as soon as that talent emerges.

Bloggers are now an essential part of any Brand Marketing Strategy and at Shopping Links we have brought together influencer and affiliate marketing, enabling brands and bloggers to collaborate together to reach new audiences.
