Founding partner pilot
Move surplus inventory without handing over your store.
We're selecting a small group of emerging brands to test limited-time sale pages and relevant shopper promotion. Your website remains where customers buy; your brand keeps control of inventory, fulfillment, and the customer relationship.
Ideal founding partner
Built first for capable, emerging brands.
This is a hands-on learning cohort, not an open marketplace. We prioritize inventory and launches where the shopper fit is clearest.
- An independent or emerging consumer brand with a working online store
- Samples, past-season product, overstock, or event leftovers to move
- A meaningful sale price—typically 40% off or more
- The ability to fulfill orders, handle returns, and keep inventory accurate
- A focused market such as New York, Los Angeles, or an online drop
Clear ownership
A promotion partner, not your retailer.
During the founding pilot, Sample Sale Tracker does not take possession of goods or act as merchant of record.
What we provide
- A clear, source-checked sale listing or launch page
- Promotion on relevant Sample Sale Tracker surfaces during the agreed pilot
- A measurement plan using tagged links, codes, or another agreed method
- Hands-on launch planning and an honest post-drop readout
What your brand owns
- Product selection, pricing, imagery, and accurate inventory
- Checkout, payment processing, taxes, and customer data
- Fulfillment, shipping updates, returns, and customer support
- Product claims, sale terms, and regulatory compliance
Commerce path
Integration follows proven demand.
- Pilot · now
Promote the drop
A focused listing or launch page sends shoppers to the brand's existing checkout. Attribution is agreed before launch.
- Next · if earned
Browse here, buy there
Selected products may be browsable on Sample Sale Tracker while checkout, payment, fulfillment, and returns stay with the brand.
- Later · after proof
Deeper integration
Inventory sync or a more integrated buying experience only ships after repeat demand and operational responsibilities are proven.
Trust is part of the product
Paid means labeled. Editorial stays independent.
Visible sponsorship
Paid placements and sponsored distribution are clearly labeled where shoppers see them. Payment never changes factual sale details.
Independent listings
Relevant, source-verified sales can be listed without paying. Sponsorship buys distribution, not editorial approval.
Privacy by default
Brands receive campaign-level reporting—not individual shopper email addresses. Application details are used to evaluate and contact the applicant and are not sold.
Founding partner application

We review fit based on category, market, discount, operational readiness, and the relevance of the drop to Sample Sale Tracker shoppers. Selected brands receive a proposed pilot scope before any commitment.
