Your questions on Faire answered!

Another to add to my “Wholesale” file on KZbin! I was wondering if you can provide tips on what you think would influence Faire to be more likely to choose a company to join? 🌷☀️💎🎨

yeah good question, personally I think it's not a static thing as it depends on what's happening with the company strategically. The business has to look real for a start but I know people are complaining about drop shippers joining - I do think if you have a good online presence already it helps your chances. But someone messaged me to say they used my referral links and finally got accepted so maybe that helps too!

[@kerrygearin3910]

Yes that was me! Right after commenting here, the next morning I was accepted 😀☀️🌸

You seriously were in my mind lol I was wondering how the heck do I collect these emails like a few days ago! Thanks for this! I have a question! How would you recommend wording a follow up or multiple follow up emails so you don’t sound pushy and annoying?

[@CandidFounders]

Heya - I heard some great advice from someone the other day about following up. Unless they have actually engaged with you and know who you are, assume they have no idea who you are and haven't read your previous emails. If you saw a person you had met before at a networking event you wouldn't go up to them and say hey remember me, remember that product I sell do you remember it? Instead you might re-introduce yourself (maybe in a slightly different way) you might find a new angle to explain who you are and what you do to. I like this approach with email as well, people get annoyed by emails that are like 'I know you're busy but did you see the below email?' - NO I didn't because as you said I am busy!! So think of it as just bringing your brand to people's attention each time and trying slightly different angles. Retailers may take months to convert. If you have had engagement from them, you might chase based on the last engagement (hey just checking in, did you like the sample we sent, have you had a chance to review the catalogue) but if they still don't respond I go back to pitching them/sending newsletters and showing how we add value - unless they unsubscribe. Hope that helps :)
