Partner with DC Shopping
DC Shopping is where people plan a day of shopping in Washington: which district, which shops, where to eat after and where to stay. Put your business in front of them at that moment, in a guide they already trust.
The guide, by the numbers
each with its own page, map and guide
hours, maps and directions, checked monthly
seasonal, gift, style and visit guides
including all 48 Michelin picks
Traffic figures and audience breakdown are in the PDF media kit we send on request.
Why it works
People land on a district page or a guide because they're deciding where to spend a Saturday. Every page ends in a map, directions and a list of shops.
Hotel guests looking for a walkable afternoon, and Washingtonians looking for a gift, a new shop or a reason to try another neighborhood.
Every listing is checked monthly and every paid placement is labeled. That trust is what makes a placement here worth more than an ad.
Hand-drawn, editorial and specific to Washington. Your placement sits inside a site people enjoy using, not beside it.

Editor's picks, the Washington icon callouts and our Michelin coverage are earned, not bought. Sponsored and Featured placements are always marked. It's the reason readers trust the site, and the reason your placement works.
Questions
No. Editor's picks, the DC icon callouts and our Michelin coverage are never for sale. Paid placements are always labeled Featured or Sponsored, which is exactly why readers trust the rest of the site, and why your placement works.
