You can update the missing information for these brands right from this page (for example, add a new valid email address or website).Expiring soon: Upon referring a 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 this tab.

This is the same link that is embedded in the referral email that we send after each submission.To ensure you can earn credit for your brand referrals, please submit all referrals through your Faire portal first before sending your referral link to your contacts. Word-of-mouth referrals alone are not eligible for Faire-funded credit.What happens when a brand I referred joins Faire?When a brand you've referred joins Faire and activates their shop, you'll see their status update under the Joined tab on your Referrals page.If they used your referral link to sign up, you'll be eligible to receive Faire-funded credit as a reward - For each order the brand receives and accepts in their first 30 days after activating their shop, you can receive a Faire credit in your account. Please note, if you place an order with the brand you referred, the order subtotal must be equal to or greater than the credit amount in order to receive the credit reward.See the Refer Brands page in your Faire portal for more details on how much credit you are eligible to earn!Will I receive credit on every brand I refer?Referral credit will only be paid to the person whose referral link is used.

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.
