As a small business owner, you know supporting local is the easiest
way to help your community thrive.

And we know you and your business are a critical ingredient to your small town community.

This is why we’re offering makers like you the opportunity to showcase your one-of-a-kind products in the Acre75 Gathered box, providing you with cross-Canada exposure for your business and town!

This is your opportunity to join the 120+ small town Canadian businesses we’ve partnered with so far.

Our Ask

Acre75 Gathered features full-size items that fit in our 11 1/8" x 8 3⁄4" x 3" box.

We deeply value the time, care, and craftsmanship you put into every item — which is why we never ask our makers to donate their products.

Instead, we take a collaborative approach to pricing, working together to find a wholesale rate that honours your costs and fits within our seasonal budget.

As a featured brand in Acre75 Gathered, you’ll enjoy these perks:

🍁 Land in 500+ Homes Across Canada

Get your product directly into the hands of over 500 engaged subscribers who value high-quality, handmade goods. Each item in the Acre75 Gathered Box is personally experienced, shared, and remembered—giving your product meaningful exposure in real homes.

🍁 A Two-Month Marketing Takeover

When your product is featured in an Acre75 Gathered Box, it becomes part of our seasonal story—appearing regularly in our Instagram posts, reels, stories, email campaigns, and behind-the-scenes content. For two full months, our feed is filled with unboxings, product close-ups, maker highlights, and more. It’s essentially a ready-made marketing campaign for your small business. :)

🍁 Enjoy Category Exclusivity

You’ll be the only product of your kind in that season’s box. If you're a candle maker, you’ll be the candle. This ensures your product stands out, with no competing items in your category for that season.

🍁 Highlighted on Our Product Insert

Each box includes a beautifully designed insert featuring your business name, product description, location, and a fun fact about your small town—creating a personal connection with every subscriber.

🍁 Permanent Placement on Our Website

Be featured forever on our Meet the Makers page, Past Boxes archive, and Acre75 Gathered Unboxed blog. Each listing includes direct links to your website, driving traffic long after your box ships.

🍁 Shared on Our Pinterest Page

We’ll share your product and story on our growing Pinterest page, giving your small business long-term discoverability and additional visibility to a broader audience.

🍁 Spotlighted in Our Social Media Reveal

Get tagged and featured during our seasonal box reveal on Instagram and Facebook, putting your product in front of thousands of followers who love discovering small town makers.

🍁 Featured in High-Engagement Emails

Reach over 4,300 inboxes with a 40%+ open rate. Your product will be showcased in our seasonal reveal email and all other emails highlighting the box, driving interest and direct visits to your website or social channels.

🍁 Be Part of Our ‘Meet the Makers’ Series

Choose to be featured in our collaborative Instagram reel series, where we highlight behind-the-scenes glimpses of your creative process or small town life. You can also go live with us to share your story and deepen your connection with our community.

🍁 Tagged in All Subscriber Unboxings

We love when our subscribers share their unboxing videos—and we make sure you’re tagged in every one we repost. It’s authentic word-of-mouth marketing at its finest.

🍁 Access to Beautiful Content

Receive styled photos and user-generated content that you can use freely on your own website and social channels—no extra photo shoot required.

🍁 Opportunities for Corporate Gifting

After being featured in one of our seasonal boxes, you could become one of our preferred makers for custom corporate gift box projects—often resulting in larger, high-volume orders throughout the year.

"Just wanted to tell you I had a customer in who said she gifted your summer box to a friend, and that friend loved my candy so much that she came in to buy more. The exposure your boxes provide to small businesses is wonderful. Thank you again for including my candy in the box!
