About Partnerships
Kink Between the Lines' Partnership Program gives us the means to thrive while also building reciprocal relationships with our community. Our Partners are vital to our success as a small, volunteer-run conference; your donation allows us to grow and continue to provide a space for discussing marginalization in kink. We are the only conference on this topic in the world! We believe that Partnership should be exactly that A Partnership. We offer Partnerships at many levels to keep it open and accessible for small businesses and individuals to contribute and we also throw in a ton of perks and freebies. Most of all: we work with you every step of the way with 1:1 attention for each of our Partners.
Mutual Aid Advertising
Kink Between the Lines believes in mutual aid and lifting up marginalized voices and our Partners, beyond having their names, logos, and links listed in various places, are also encouraged to sign up to be mutual aid advertisers. If you agree, you can occasionally send us social media posts or big announcements that we will post to our followers on your behalf. In return we also add you to a mailing list of people who are willing to advertise on our behalf. It's a great way to increase your brand reach!
Details
