Questions
Do I need a Caribbean-owned business?
No, but the audience is Caribbean and Caribbean-diaspora New Yorkers, so the fit is best for businesses, brands, and campaigns that speak to that community authentically.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime before the next billing cycle. Seasonal campaigns are flat-fee and non-refundable once content goes live.
What audience do you reach?
Caribbean and Caribbean-diaspora New Yorkers searching for food, events, and nightlife, plus business owners and promoters across 12 island cultures. Brooklyn is our density center (Flatbush, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy, East Flatbush) with growing Queens and Bronx reach.
Do you offer affiliate or revenue-share deals?
For event ticketing we take 10% commission on tickets sold through the platform. For retail, we're open to custom affiliate arrangements — email us.
