What we offer

Your own branded space on The Collective website.

We create a professionally designed landing page for your business that sits within The Collective’s ecommerce website, while still looking and feeling like your brand.

Your page can showcase who you are, what you make, your product range, contact information and enquiry forms, all in one place.

01

Your story and brand

A page designed around your business, with your colours, imagery, story, contact details and the information customers need to understand what makes your products different.

02

Your own ecommerce product collection

Your products appear on your branded page and remain searchable and viewable through The Collective’s main shop and product pages.

03

Sell online without building a store

Customers can purchase your products online through The Collective. Payments are allocated to you after the agreed online sales commission and payment costs.

04

Manage your own content

You will have access to add products and update your page content, so the page can continue to grow with your business.

05

Contact and enquiries built in

Add your contact information and enquiry forms so customers can reach you directly from your branded page.

The benefits

A professional ecommerce presence, without the normal cost.

For makers and small businesses, building and maintaining a standalone ecommerce website can be expensive and time consuming. This gives you the key benefits without needing to start from scratch.

$000s

Save on development

A standalone ecommerce website can cost thousands of dollars to design, build and configure. Your branded page uses The Collective’s existing ecommerce platform, so you avoid that upfront investment.

$000s

Save on annual website costs

No separate website hosting, ecommerce platform or core website maintenance bill for your own standalone site. That can save hundreds of dollars every year.

2×

Be found in two places

Your products are visible through the main Collective shop and on your own branded page, giving customers more ways to discover your business.

24/7

Sell beyond store hours

Your products can be browsed and purchased online even when the physical shop is closed.

1

One place to manage it

Add products and update your page content without having to manage a completely separate website and ecommerce system.

You

Keep your own identity

This is not just a generic seller profile. Your page is designed to feel like your brand, while benefiting from The Collective’s wider audience and ecommerce infrastructure.

Inside the new website

Your business becomes part of a bigger online destination.

The Collective’s new website brings together products, makers, workshops and local creative businesses in one place.

Your branded page gives customers somewhere to go beyond an individual product. They can understand who you are, browse your full range, contact you and buy online.
