Ellis ESQ Brand Ambassador Program

What is the Ellis ESQ Brand Ambassador Program?

The Ellis ESQ Brand Ambassadors program consists of energetic, enthusiastic, professional individuals who have built a trusted network of friends, colleagues, or followers over the years. Our Brand Ambassadors (BA’s) have come to know and love the Ellis ESQ brand and/or want to be involved in the success of it. Our BA’s endorse the brand and feel comfortable referring it to their network. As a trusted partner to Ellis ESQ, our BA’s participate in the company’s revenue sharing program. In short, our BA’s leisurely share the brand with others, rock the brand, and get paid while enjoying the latest styles.

They post pictures of themselves wearing Ellis and provide a unique link where their followers can purchase product.

How are the Brand Ambassador’s referrals attributed to the appropriate person?

Is the Ellis ESQ brand employing any other marketing efforts?

In addition to the Ellis ESQ Brand Ambassadors Program, we are employing two concurrent marketing efforts. See below:

Digital Marketing Campaign

  • Our digital marketing campaign is up and running. This campaign extends to the United States and Canada. Browsers who use certain key words will start to see Ellis ESQ pop up in their feeds. Specifically, you will see Ellis ESQ on social media feeds, banners, websites, and other similar platforms. This will increase direct sales, but also increase brand familiarity. As you promote the brand, you may notice that your referral network is already familiar with Ellis ESQ.

Get Stitched Tour – Talk & Tailored Events

  • The name of the Ellis ESQ tour is called The Get Stitched Tour. During the tour, style architect, Dean Ellis will meet with individuals and groups by appointment during the day. During the evenings, he will facilitate Talk & Tailored Events.  Talk & Tailored events are more exclusive, VIP, intimate gatherings where a pre-designated host invites between five and ten friends over to an in-home gathering.  During the two hour event, attendees network, receive education on tailored styles, receive individual consult from Ellis to develop their personal style, and have the opportunity get personally fitted and select from product lines not offered on the website.  As a part of our white glove service, Ellis returns to the respective city in about six weeks to ensure that all guests’ customized products fits perfectly and to facilitate more events. Talk & Tailored events are our highest level of premium service that we offer for groups.
