Absolutely! If you have brands you’d like to invite to join you on Faire, we’d love to know about them!
How to refer a brand
To get started, select your profile icon and select the learn more link.
Once you're on your Referrals page, you can invite brands in a few different ways:
- Invite via email
- You can import contacts individually, through a CSV upload or through your email partner
- Refer via website
- You can enter your referral brand’s website
- Share your referral link
- You can copy your personal referral link on this page and share it with your brand referrals
Please ensure you use one of the above methods in your Faire portal to refer brands. We are not able to accept other referral methods at this time.
After submitting your referrals through your portal, all referred brands will receive an invitation with your referral link. Please note that if a brand is referred by many different contacts, your invitation email may be queued and sent at a later date to preserve their experience.
At any time, you can always check the status of any of your referrals under the Invited and Joined tabs from your referrals page. Any referrals that you have successfully invited will appear under the Invited tab, while any referrals that have successfully activated will appear under the Joined tab. Should additional information be needed to complete the referral invitation, you will find those requests under the Action requested tab.
For each brand that uses your referral link to apply, you’ll be eligible to receive referral payouts to your bank account on file after they have been activated. Your payout status will be displayed next to each brand that you have referred on your Referrals page.
Please note: If a brand is referred by multiple brands or retailers, the credit will be awarded to the person whose link is used by the brand to apply.
Best practices for referring brands to Faire
If you wish to refer brands to Faire through our referral program, you may be asked to upload data of others. In addition to crafting personalized, quality content, consider the audience you are reaching out to, and make sure that the communications you’re sending are not unwanted or unwarranted. Here are some helpful guidelines to follow:
- You should only send referral emails to business colleagues, friends, or acquaintances from who you have consent to contact. Review contact information before uploading contacts to Faire and sending emails, to ensure they meet this criteria.
- Make sure that the communication is relevant to them (they are a brand, they are still in business, you have an existing business relationship with them or have interacted with them before, or–in the case of new relationships–you don’t have any reason to believe they wouldn’t want to hear from you).
- Compare the list of referrals you are providing to Faire against your own external “unsubscribe” list (make sure contacts you are reaching out to through Faire haven’t already asked you not to contact them).
- Purge any irrelevant data (or unsubscribed email addresses) from the list before uploading it into your portal.
When will my referrals expire?
Upon referring another brand, all brands will have 12 months to activate their shop on Faire before their referral invitation expires. Any referrals expiring within the next 90 days will appear under your Expiring soon tab on your Refer Brands page. If a referral should expire, you are always able to refer them again.
Will I receive an invoice for the referral fee?
At this time you will not receive an invoice linked to the referral fee payment, based on the currency you are paid in we might be able to provide the Federal trace number or a bank transfer letter for your records.
