About Aware House: Some Things to Note
  1. Our dedication is towards supporting small businesses and independent creators that make high quality products. 
  2. We care about the overall production methods and materials used to produce a high quality end product. We don't expect any one product or supply-chain to be perfect, we are simply looking to offer consumers better quality alternatives to mass-manufactured items.
  3. We are NOT a "sustainable" shopping platform. Again, our focus is simply on making high quality, thoughtful purchases and supporting creators making premium products.
  4. We require high-quality product images for use on our website.

PLEASE NOTE!
We are looking the BEST small businesses + makers across the country. We work with people who have been making products for at least one year to a very high-quality standard. Our goal is NOT to become another major marketplace with hundreds of thousands of products. 

We invest thousand of dollars a month into marketing and building our brand and e work with vendors who deliver not only a professional looking product, but a strong brand presence. 

For these reasons, we are unable to accept every vendor application. Please keep this in mind when submitting your application. 

Our Offers & Expectations

At Aware House, we are fully dedicated to supporting our vendors and helping your business grow. In return, we ask for your support to ensure we continue building a thriving community for all. Remember, our success is your success, and vice versa!

Our Offers:

  1. The Marketplace:
    We’re proud to offer a curated online marketplace that makes it easy for customers to discover your brand and products. This involves significant investment in research to find new vendors, managing promotions and collections, enhancing the website and SEO, and creating engaging content like blogs and videos to keep the audience excited and engaged.

  2. Extensive Online Marketing:
    Aware House is committed to extensive marketing efforts through platforms like Instagram, Google Ads, and Affiliate Marketing. We dedicate a substantial portion of our budget and resources to increase brand visibility and drive more traffic to the website month over month. 

  3. Financial Support:
    We provide direct financial support by purchasing your products or helping facilitate their sale directly on our platform. Our goal is to continuously support and grow your business as much as possible.

What We Expect from Our Vendors:

  1. Communication:
    We kindly ask that vendors remain easily accessible, responsive, and timely when it comes to business-related matters. For example, during onboarding, we appreciate consistent and prompt communication. If communication becomes inconsistent or delayed, we may need to reassess moving forward together.

  2. Social Media:
    We encourage vendors to stay active on social media, particularly Instagram, as it’s one of our primary marketing channels. If you have a small follower count (less than 10k), we expect you to post frequently in order to grow your community. We suggest posting at least 8 times per month. For vendors with larger followings, we encourage more frequent engagement.

    • Small: Less than 10k followers on Instagram

    • Medium: 10k+ followers

    • Large: 20k+ followers or an established company

    We’ll prioritize vendors who are active on social media and demonstrate their own dedication to growing their work and brand. It’s crucial that you promote yourself as well—help us help you. We also appreciate it when you share our posts on your Instagram stories from time to time, helping promote the platform to your audience.

  3. Willingness to Collaborate:
    Collaboration is key! We’re excited about the growing number of joint projects with our vendors, such as collaborative posts, interviews, Q&As, exclusive promotions, and more. We frequently highlight vendor products in our Instagram stories, and we kindly expect that you’ll be open to collaborating with us whenever possible. Vendors who send in content, answer questions, and accept invitations to collaborate on Instagram are showing the enthusiasm needed to grow their own brands, while helping us grow as a community.

  4. Sharing Your Vendor Page:
    If you have a link to your Etsy, Minted, or any other third-party direct-to-consumer (D2C) site in your website, Instagram bio, or email signature, we kindly ask that you also include the link to your Aware House vendor page in those spots. If you don’t have a third-party D2C link, we’d love for you to share your Aware House vendor page link with your audience if that's something you are comfortable with. The more traffic we get to the website, whether from your link or another vendor's, the more exposure you’ll receive!

  5. Inventory Turnover:
    We are actively analyzing inventory turnover rates. If we have a vendor who meets all of the above expectations but has a low inventory turnover rate, we will continue to work to increase their sales and monitor the progress. However, if vendors do not meet the outlined expectations (i.e. vendor is not willing to collaborate on social media or share their work on our Platform) and have low turnover rates, we may need to reconsider our partnership. We understand that life and work can sometimes get in the way and we recognize that many of you are small businesses or solo-entrepreneurs. However, it’s crucial that you help us help you. Prioritizing vendors who meet these expectations and are dedicated to being active members of the Aware House community is key to our mutual success.

The Vendor Application Process
  1. You fill in this form. We answer within 1 week, subject to delays if we are out of office.
  2. We set up a 30 min Google Meet call to get to know you and your business better and answer any questions you may have.
