Grow with Us: The New Affiliate Model
We’re making an exciting shift at BLK + GRN to better support our mission of connecting our community to high-quality, non-toxic products made by Black artisans. As we grow, we’re transitioning from a traditional retail model to an affiliate-based model. This change allows us to amplify your brand, increase your visibility, and reduce overhead costs for both you and BLK + GRN. It’s also a more sustainable model — your product is only shipped once, directly to the customer, which reduces environmental impact and ensures fresher deliveries.
Here’s what’s changing:
-
You will no longer need to ship products to BLK + GRN or manage wholesale inventory.
-
BLK + GRN will link directly to your e-commerce store and earn a 20% affiliate commission on sales referred from our platform.
-
You retain full control over your pricing, inventory, and customer relationship.
-
Artisans will now take home up to 80% of the MSRP, compared to the traditional wholesale model where only 50% was retained.
-
Customers driven by BLK + GRN will now be exposed to your full product line, not just the products previously approved for our marketplace.
-
We’ll feature your brand on our curated marketplace, email list, and social media to drive traffic directly to your store.
-
You’ll be part of a community of Black artisans focused on wellness, non-toxic living, and economic empowerment.
-
The new model is more sustainable — products are shipped directly from you to the customer, reducing emissions and ensuring customers have fresher products.
-
