Approx. 10 minute read
Being an active seller on Cay Collective doesn’t just help your visibility, it strengthens your brand, builds customer loyalty, and increases your chances of being featured in our campaigns. Our most successful sellers aren’t just uploading great products, they're showing up consistently, staying current, and being part of the community.

HOW TO STAY ACTIVE, ENGAGED, AND SET UP FOR SUCCESS
Upload Regularly
• Keep your shop fresh by uploading new collections or products regularly.
• Our “New In” page is one of the most visited on the site, frequent uploads increase your chance of being seen.
Join Campaigns & Sales
• Participate in big moments like Cay’s Summer Sale, Black Friday, or launch week pushes. We often highlight sellers who engage early and match our promotional themes.
Create Seasonal & Timely Products
• Participate in our seasonal campaigns like summer, holiday, back to school, or Swedish holidays.
• Products tied to moments (e.g., Midsummer, Valentine's, Black Friday) are often promoted sitewide and in social media pushes.
Upload Content to Cay Creator
• Share behind-the-scenes content, styling, or making-of moments through Cay Creator. This builds your storytelling and gives us more material to feature.
Read the Community Newsletters
• We regularly send newsletters with campaign themes, tips, and deadlines—read these to stay aligned and never miss an opportunity.
Be Part of the Facebook Group
• Connect with other creators, ask questions, share advice, and get updates.
• Our Facebook group is an active community for feedback, support, and collaboration: https://www.facebook.com/groups/689802027396058/
Promote Your Shop
• Add a link to your Cay shop in your social media bios.
• Tag Cay Collective in your content, we love to reshare and feature sellers who tag us.
• Highlight your products in reels, stories, and posts to drive traffic to your shop.

WHAT TO AVOID
• Don’t disappear for long periods without updating or adding content, consistency keeps your shop relevant.
• Don’t ignore communication from Cay (like newsletters or group announcements), these contain valuable info to boost your visibility.
• Don’t miss seasonal moments, timing is key, and participating in seasonal drops helps you get discovered.
• Don’t just upload once and wait, success on Cay comes from showing up often and staying active.
