What Amour Creole does

Amour Creole is a privately held quarterly lifestyle and fashion magazine, operated by Amour Creole Media Group Inc., that targets the Haitian and French Caribbean diaspora across 9+ countries including the United States, Canada, Haiti, France, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Guyana, and parts of Africa. The publication covers fashion, beauty, health, money/entrepreneurship, sex/relationships, food, and art/culture, with a stated circulation target of over 250,000 and a multi-product portfolio spanning print editions, digital subscriptions, an email newsletter, video content (Amour Creole TV, Naturally Haiti), editorial photo galleries, and a Subscriber Account Portal.

The underlying technology is a conventional WordPress-based content management website (produced and managed by SDK-ITPRO) with subscription commerce infrastructure (Authorize.Net and PayPal), FeedBurner-powered RSS distribution, and Vimeo-embedded video. The platform supports both print fulfillment and digital issue delivery, and includes an Affiliate Member Center that provides subscription cards, digital advertisements, sample copies, credit card readers, and referral/commission tracking for community-driven resellers.

Amour Creole generates revenue from four streams: recurring print and digital magazine subscriptions (US $14.97/year, Canada $19.97/year, International $86.97/year, with $3 digital add-on), affiliate-driven subscription and single-copy sales (affiliates earn up to $7 per subscription plus tiered bonuses), single-copy retail sales at national chains (Barnes & Noble, Hudson News, Books-A-Million, Press Commerce, Hasting Entertainment, Stop & Shop), and display advertising on amourcreole.com and within the print magazine. A portion of sales is donated to the Sove Ayiti (Help Haiti) non-profit.

Amour Creole competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

CaribWorldNews: Caribbean diaspora news and lifestyle outlet serving readers across the Caribbean and its diaspora. Directly comparable geographic audience and editorial mix of culture, lifestyle, and diaspora news.
MadameNoire: Digital lifestyle publication covering Black women in fashion, beauty, culture, and relationships. Comparable audience targeting and content verticals, though delivered as digital-native rather than print.
The Haitian Times: The leading Haitian-American news and culture publication, covering similar diaspora content in print and digital. It directly competes for the same Haitian and French Caribbean readership in the U.S.
The Root: Black culture, politics, and lifestyle digital publication with overlapping diaspora cultural coverage. Comparable mission of curating Black voices and culture, with a similar advertising-supported revenue model.
Essence: Major Black women's lifestyle, fashion, and culture magazine brand with print and digital editions. Closely comparable audience overlap in Black/diaspora lifestyle content and similar print-plus-digital subscription model.
Ebony: Long-running African-American lifestyle and culture magazine with a comparable niche editorial focus on Black culture, fashion, and beauty. Operates with a similar print/digital subscription and advertising-supported business model.

Emerging players

Island Origins: Caribbean-focused lifestyle and culture publication targeting the diaspora. Comparable editorial focus on Caribbean heritage, fashion, and culture with a more digital-native delivery model.

Broad incumbents

Hearst (Elle): Major global fashion, beauty, and lifestyle publisher. Comparable editorial verticals (fashion, beauty, culture), but a broad mainstream audience rather than the focused Caribbean-diaspora niche.
BET Media: Large multi-platform media company serving the Black audience across TV, digital, and events. Overlaps with Amour Creole's audience and content categories (fashion, music, culture) but at much broader scale and across more media formats.
Condé Nast (Vogue): Global mainstream fashion and lifestyle publisher. Competes indirectly for advertising dollars and editorial attention in fashion, but does not specialize in the Caribbean-diaspora niche that defines Amour Creole.
