A gift for you!

I celebrated my tenth anniversary as the acting editor-in-chief on January 15th. Thank you for being by my side since day one and helping our community grow from 45,000 to 720,000 enthusiasts. I appreciate everyone who allowed the contributors and me to shine a light on their shop, new builds, events, and talent. Thanks to every advertiser, member, and follower who has worked with CC since 2013. I am working on a new ongoing series titled Moving Forward, focusing on folks I've watched grow in the industry over the past ten years. Keep an eye on the website for the first feature to drop soon. Until then, please accept a small gift of ten percent off anything in CC's store using the code: LISA10 at checkout. The code expires on Sunday at 11:59 pm. Have a great one! -Lisa

A moment of your time.

ChopCult's community consists of one million users through the website, members, social media supporters, and newsletters subscribers. Each person is a vital part of the ChopCult community. I am calling on every person to get involved and help chopcult.com through these dark times. Everything ChopCult does for the community is free for the taking since 2009. ChopCult.com doesn't host a donate button, so the only way to pay for the fees associated is through CC's Gear, the marketplace, and advertising support.

Why should you consider advertising on chopcult.com? Most brands today look at advertising as a waste of money. I look at it as getting your brand and motorcycle-related products in front of the community. ChopCult.com caters to the garage builder, and over 80% of our society is currently in their garages working on projects. They need your aftermarket parts to get them back on the road. I know first hand there are no guarantees with advertising, but you attain potential sales through CC's outlets and build a unique following through ongoing cross-promotion. I see people seeking help from brand ambassadors, and I feel ChopCult should be considered as a front runner. Look over the media kit, and let's talk. I can work with your budget.

Calling All Motorcycle Companies: The ChopCult Marketplace is where motorcycle companies can make money through chopcult.com. You can sell your aftermarket motorcycle-related parts, apparel, and provide a working relationship with the consumer. There is a small ten percent fee, which goes directly to the upkeep of chopcult.com. The goal for the marketplace is to provide a one-stop-shop for the consumer who benefits many brands within the industry—a win-win for all. Contact me if interested.

Sell Your Used Parts: The free classified section is open 24/7 for you to sell your motorcycle-related products. Please refrain from using the ChopCult Classifieds to direct members to listings on other sites (Webpages, Bigcartel stores, eBay, CL, Instagram, etc.). All sales must be handled through CC's messenger. You can sign up here.

Big thanks to Biltwell, No School Choppers, Duane Ballard Custom Leather, Dixxon Flannel Co, Choppahead, S&S Cycles, Twin Powers, Speed Dealer Customs, Nash Motorcycle Co, Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys, and Bison Motorsports for supporting the chopcult community. Your contribution is much appreciated, and we are forever in your debt for helping keep chopcult.com up and running.

Until we meet again, take care of yourself, and have a great week.
