Why Spark & Stitch Institute?

Father-daughter team Dr. Dave Walsh and Erin Walsh have designed workshops and delivered keynotes to hundreds of thousands of parents around the world for over twenty years on issues related to social emotional development and digital media.

What are you looking for in affiliate partners?

First and foremost, we are looking for mission-aligned business, schools, and organizations who serve parents and families. Becoming a Spark & Stitch affiliate partner is a serious opportunity to serve parents and add another revenue stream to your business. We invite you to apply if you’re committed to sharing these classes with heart and creativity and creating compelling promotions to your audience.

How does the program work?

Once you have applied and we have determined that it is a good fit, we will ask you to register as an affiliate partner. We will sign a short affiliate agreement that ensures we are on the same page. From there, you can share and market Spark & Stitch Institute online classes to your audience! We manage tracking through affiliate share links so that for every class purchased through your efforts, you receive a share of the class fees. This allows you to strengthen your offerings to parents and create a revenue stream for your organization.

A reminder that as an affiliate partner, you will have:

  • Access to all three classes. Depending on your audience you can decide whether to offer one, two or all three.
  • Access to the classes for select staff to gain a deeper understanding of the content.
  • Periodic registration and usage reporting
  • Quarterly revenue payments based on the amount of net sales.
  • A Promotional Package including:

Do I need to have a certain size audience to apply?

No! We are looking for partners who have strong relationships with parents and families and who can share our classes with care and commitment because you know they will meet a need in your audience.

How much time will I need to invest in promoting the classes?

It depends! If you already do significant marketing of resources to parents it might be as simple as adding Spark & Stitch classes to your marketing and promotion plan. If you don’t have as much experience marketing, we recommend that you create a plan that includes multiple touches and promotions to introduce your audience to these resources. Don’t forget that as an affiliate partner you will have access to a promo package that will save you time and make promoting the classes easier.

Will Spark & Stitch help me promote the classes?

We are here for you if you need us! In addition to the promotion package,  Erin or Dr. Dave can be booked for live webinars to provide meaningful live interaction around relevant topics and and to introduce your audience to the classes.
