Our customers
The community of independent retailers & brands is alive and vibrant on Faire.
Retailers like Tender Loving Empire from Portland, Oregon, curate unique experiences for their customers, and are constantly looking for new items to add to their inventory.
Brands like Rewined from Charleston, South Carolina, want to connect with retailers that align with their brand, and can help tell the product story to their customers.
Our team culture
We have a deep appreciation for the value of culture, and we work together to build the team culture we want. Here are some of the highlights.
An offsite dedicated to our customers and each other.
What would it mean to design your team offsite not around productivity or planning—but around building empathy for your customers? That’s what we did for our second annual Design Summit. By focusing on shared experiences that allowed them to get to know Faire’s customers better, we were able to build strong team connections and greater empathy and understanding for our customers.
Why we planned our second design team offsite around shared experiences →
Sharing our stories through Top 5
A simple framework with major impact: present on your “top 5” in any category, and tell a story about yourself in the process. One of the most-loved rituals in our design team culture, Top 5 has highlighted everything from the “Top 5 fast food french fries” to Robin Bigio’s “Top 5 most mortifying professional moments”—bringing our team together in the process.
