Recruit sellers, not followers

Brief every sample

Ship a best-selling staple piece with a hook bank focused on outfit styling and fit checks, approved claims, prohibited claims and a clear CTA.

Build an affiliate ladder

New → Active → Proven seller → Top partner. Increase samples, bundles, retainers and ad rights as creators prove repeat sales.
