A quick thanks to Dappered’s advertisers – December 2014

We like our advertisers.  They get it.  They get that you guys in the readership don’t want enormous ads, advertorials, or a site with so many ad spaces that it’s hard to find the content.  We try and keep the amount of ad space on Dappered limited on purpose. Keeps the site uncluttered.  And every once in awhile a business comes a long who wants a presence in that limited ad space.  And that’s awesome.  So we’ve decided to start publishing a monthly list of our direct advertisers to say thanks to them, and also so that you guys stay informed.

We’ve never taken money to review a product or run a giveaway, nor do we keep free samples for ourselves.  But to further our efforts to stay as unbiased as possible, we’ll be letting you guys know who’s buying ads from us, directly each month (as opposed to just running an ad network with tons of advertisers which we do most of the time).

So with that said, here’s this month’s list of direct advertisers:

• Allen Edmonds

These guys get a lot of well deserved play on this site. An American company started in 1922, the name Allen Edmonds has become synonymous with quality heritage men’s shoes that deliver enormous value. Premium leathers, cork foot-beds, and the ability to re-craft an old pair make AE’s a much sought after brand for many of the readers of this site.

• michaelTHOMAS

Offering upscale accoutrements for the stylish guy, michaelTHOMAS product falls on the pricier end of the spectrum. But you’re paying for accessories made with premium textiles right here in the United States. These are pocket squares and ties your grandfather would be proud of.

• Nordstrom

No strangers to this site, Nordstrom is a leader in the realm of department stores, and for good reason. As if their Half Yearly Sale for Men and Anniversary Sale weren’t reasons good enough to visit Nordstrom at least a few times a year, their free shipping and returns policy makes their online shopping experience hassle free.

Many thanks to all our advertisers for supporting Dappered.com.
