Lettering Works is on a mission to create, inspire, and empower people through art. One way we do that is through our art-forward souvenirs and growing merchandise collection.

We have a goal of increasing wholesale accounts in the following areas: Museums & Cultural Institutions, Airport Gift Shops, Independent Retailers and Mission-Driven Organizations who need quality giveaway items on a larger scale. 

Can you help? (Spoiler alert: there are rewards for you if you do!)

Step 1: Contacts

You provide the following (for each lead*) via this Google Form (preferred) or email:

• Contact Name
• Organization/Business Name
• Email address

From here, I can upload the contact to my wholesale platform, Faire (to ensure that I don't get charged a commission).

Step 2: Connections

Next, you choose…

You can send an email introduction

OR

I can send the invite and mention you (making less work for you). If they are not already on Faire, we can offer them a $100 credit to shop the Lettering Works brand.

Step 3: Rewards

As an added incentive, I am offering different rewards based on how many leads* you provide…

• Refer 1-2 accounts, get a fun happy mail package sent to you from me!

• Refer 3-4 accounts, get access to your choice of one of my online courses: Are You on Brand?, The Power of Passion Projects, or Hand Lettering with Chelsie Tamms

• Refer 5 or more accounts, get one free 40-minute consulting session (topics include branding, marketing, or business) or 30% off any project (up to $200)

*Please note that while I am looking for quality leads that will turn into new wholesale accounts, you may be given credit for each contact you provide regardless if they become an account for Lettering Works. The only leads that don’t count are business and organizations that Lettering Works already works with.
