Here are some helpful guidelines to follow:You should only send referral emails to business colleagues, friends, or acquaintances from whom 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 you send 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 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.Will all my referrals get accepted?We currently accept all new brand referrals that are within the markets we operate in and our core categories:Books & GamesFood & DrinkFootwearHome & LivingJewelryKids & BabyMen's AccessoriesMen's ApparelPaper & NoveltyPersonal CarePetsSports & OutdoorsWomen's AccessoriesWomen's ApparelWhen will my referrals expire?Upon referring a brand, all brands will have 12 months to activate their shop on Faire before their referral invitation expires.
