These updates and features reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing your experience on The Folklore platform. Whether it’s fostering collaboration, streamlining operations, or elevating the customer experience, we’re here to help your brand succeed.

Here’s a detailed look at what’s new and what’s coming soon to The Folklore.

💬 Introducing Brand Messaging

We’re excited to the launch of Brand Messaging, a powerful new tool designed to foster collaboration and unlock opportunities for brands on The Folklore platform. With Brand Messaging, you can now view and message other brands directly through our platform. Whether you’re exploring cross-promotion, sharing advice, or building strategic partnerships, this tool makes it easier than ever to connect and grow. 

How Brand Messaging benefits you:

  • Build stronger networks: Connect with like-minded businesses to exchange ideas, strategies, and resources.
  • Expand your reach: Collaborate on campaigns or co-branded collections to engage a broader audience.
  • Discover new opportunities: Learn from other brands’ experiences and unlock innovative approaches to wholesale success.

🔗 Direct Links

Navigating to specific content has never been easier. Users are now directed to their intended links even if they’re not logged in. This eliminates unnecessary redirects to the homepage, ensuring a smoother experience and faster access to your desired content.

🆔 Shop by Identity

We’re proud to introduce Shop by Identity on The Folklore Shop. Customers can now filter products by specific business identities, such as LGBTQI-Owned, Women-Owned, and Black-Owned. This feature makes it easier than ever to support diverse communities while finding products that matter to them.

📈 Bulk Upload

Managing your product inventory has become more efficient with our Bulk Upload Feature. This tool simplifies the process of adding multiple products to your storefront at once, saving you time and making inventory management seamless. Whether you’re launching a new collection or updating existing listings, bulk uploading ensures that your products are organized and accessible with minimal effort.

We’ve already received great feedback and these conversations will help us continue building features that truly benefit you.
