Affiliate Programme FAQs
Here are the answers to some common questions about our Affiliate Programme.
What is an affiliate programme?
An affiliate programme is marketing tool where a brand pays commission to an affiliate partner when they refer a customer to the brand's website. When the customer places an order using the affiliate partner's unique discount code, the affiliate partner earns commission from the brand as a thank you for referring the customer.
We know that many of our friends, followers and contacts already recommend us to their clients and followers, so this is our way of saying thank you and giving something back.
How does it work?
As an affiliate partner you will receive a unique discount code which you can share with your clients or contacts. The customer receives 10% discount and you earn 10% commission on the value of the order, so everybody is happy :)
You'll also receive a unique affiliate link to our website, or you can create multiple affiliate links to different products in our store, if you wish. We also have some attractive product banners which you can add to your site, linking to our most popular collections, such as Sympathy Gifts, Memory Books and Remembrance Candles.
How does the affiliate programme differ from wholesale?
Becoming an affiliate partner is a great alternative to wholesale if you want to offer our products to your clients, but don't want the hassle or cost of holding stock, shipping orders and managing customer service, as we do all that for you. It also gives the customer more choice as they can choose from any item in our store and can place the order themselves.
Can we use your product photography?
Yes, you are welcome to use our product photography on your website, blog, social media or newsletter when it is used with your affiliate link or discount code.
Who can apply?
We prefer to partner with businesses or individuals who share our values. For example, you may be a funeral director, celebrant or perhaps you work in the charity or healthcare sector. We will consider all applications, so please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
How much commission can I earn?
You'll earn 10% commission on the total order value (excluding delivery).
How do I share my affiliate discount code or links?
You could share your unique discount code via your own website, on social media, in a blog post or in a newsletter.
Do I need to tell people about affiliate links?
If you are sharing an affiliate discount code via social media, you should make this clear by using a hashtag such as #aff or #affiliate in the post.
If you share an affiliate discount code in a blog post you may wish to add a disclaimer such as: 'this post contains affiliate links so if you click through and make a purchase we may receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you). We only link to products that we love and hope you will too'.
How do I get paid?
Commission payments are made monthly once the minimum payout value of £25 has been reached.
Do I need to be 'techie'?
Not at all. You can simply share your exclusive discount code and any orders placed with the code will automatically be logged in your affiliate account. You can see the orders and commission in your affiliate account dashboard at any time.
