Maker Program FAQs
Smile Stringz is an inclusive marketplace where Makers of all mediums can start or grow their brand using our unique products.
Each piece in the collaboration is paired with a charity or non-profit organization so Makers can contribute to support the local and global communities while earning commission on every sale of their strings.
Visit our Maker page, scroll to the bottom, and fill out the basic app. Once we receive your application, we'll decide if a collaboration is the right fit for us!
That's great! So you've been approved in the first stage of the application process, which means we think you, your work, and/or your brand is a right fit for our marketplace. But you're still not 100% in the clear.
Next, we'll be sending you a slightly more elaborate questionaire form so we can gather more detailed facts from you regarding your vision and goals. Once we receive that submission, we'll make our final review and get back to you with our answer within 5 business days!
We're looking forward to hearing back from you!
