Announcing the Partnership
How do I announce the partnership to my customers?
Ready to let your customers know you’ve partnered with Shoptiques? We’re here to help! You can announce your partnership in two ways: have Shoptiques send out your partnership announcement on your behalf OR make the announcement yourself.
SHOPTIQUES: First, please send us an email with your email list as an attachment to help@shoptiques.com. Indicate whether you are ready to make the announcement and our marketing team will be in touch. Please note that our system can only accept email lists formatted as a spreadsheet file saved as either a .xls, .xlsx or .csv file.
OWN: If you would like to make your own partnership announcement, be sure to use the tracked link found at the top of your Boutique Admin! This is how we keep track of your promotional efforts - for any resulting sales, we will take a reduced commission.
If you are sending out your own email campaign, please include help@shoptiques.com on the send out so we may verify the announcement has been made. If you post it to your social media, please email help@shoptiques.com with a link to the announcement.
It is important for you to let us know if and when you have made your announcement. Once you are announced to your customers, we will be able to include you in the Boutique Bulletin.

FOR EMAIL

What is the Boutique Bulletin?
The Boutique Bulletin is a monthly email that is sent out to the Shoptiques customers announcing all the new boutiques we have partnered with. This monthly email goes out the last Saturday of the month. You cannot be announced in the Boutique Bulletin until you have made your announcement to your customer base. The cutoff date to announce (and if you announce on your own, to notify us) is FIFTEEN DAYS (5) before the bulletin is set to go out.
If you notify us AFTER the cutoff date, you will be included in the following month's bulletin. If your boutique is OFFLINE, you will be rescheduled for the following month's bulletin. We want to provide the best customer experience possible which means allowing our customers to shop stores that are online.

Grow Your Followers
There are two ways to grow your followers:
1. The first way is organically. For example, a customer finds your boutique, falls in love with the store, either makes a purchase or clicks the “plus” sign, they become a follower. Obviously the quicker you ship out orders, the better the condition, etc, the more customers will follow your boutique.
2. The second way is to import your existing customer email list into your profile. So let’s say you have 1,000 customers on your email list, you’ll immediately have 1,000 followers on your Shoptiques page. And if you decide to provide us with your mailing list, it will never be shared or added to Shoptiques main mailing list. Click here to learn how to export your list or please send us an email with your email list as an excel spreadsheet to help@shoptiques.com.
