Why join Project Cece

Project Cece was founded with the mission to make it easier for consumers to buy fair and sustainable fashion. The platform now has over 300 sustainable webshop partners leading to more than 50 000 ethical products.

 

Project Cece is recognized as an authority in the sustainable fashion community, and brands and stores affiliated with Project Cece strengthen their sustainability claims by passing the impact analysis.

 

Project Cece isn’t a shop itself, or dropship-platform, we send the visitors directly to you where they can make the purchase. This will allow your brand to have its own terms when it comes to shipping and returns, and might also retain some visitors for future purchases.

 

By joining Project Cece your brand will:

 

  • Be introduced by a sustainable audience of 70k+ monthly visitors.

  • Increase its ethical brand awareness.

  • Increase revenue on your own webshop.

  • Be part of the Project Cece community, where we will happily use our network to support your brand.

How to join Project Cece using Impactbytes

Joining Project Cece is easy! The whole onboarding process takes an average of 2 weeks, from approving your brand, to having your products online on the website. To make the integration as easy as possible, we’ve developed Impactbytes: An affiliate network and (sustainability) data aggregation platform.

 

With Impactbytes we do the following:

 

  • An extensive sustainability check to make sure you meet the values of Project Cece. You can find the sustainability criteria of Project Cece here.

  • Provide you with affiliate tools to track sales from Project Cece (and other publishers if you wish).

  • Provide you with a dashboard, where you can easily see all the sales that have been made through Impactbytes, and give you the option to indicate returns and pay invoices.

  • Create a data feed of all the products on your webshop using a web scraper that updates the product data everyday. This data will be enriched with the sustainability data from the sustainability check.

 

To join Project Cece you can use the basic plan of Impactbytes, this means that your products will be promoted by Project Cece and by other partners from Impactbytes (such as Ecosia), and that you can use the affiliate tools from Impactbytes to make a commission based partnership with one of our publishing partners.

 

If you upgrade to the (paid) Unlimited version of Impactbytes:

  • You have unlimited use of the affiliate tools and affiliate network. This means you can start affiliate collaborations with all the high-quality partners in our network and invite your own.
  • You can use the data feeds we have created for you for integrations with other parties, such as Google Shopping, Instagram Shopping, etc.

  • You get extra promotion on the Project Cece platform and partner channels.

  • Once you are on board, you pay a commission fee for every purchase made after referrals. Returns are of course excluded!
