Affiliate program

If you are the person in your group who is always recommending the good stuff — the right paddle, the right court shoes, the bar with the late breakfast after Tuesday morning play — we would like to have you in the dinkmade affiliate program.

We built this with two people in mind. The adult daughter who has been quietly upgrading her mother's closet for years and now also her mother's pickleball wardrobe. And the ladder coordinator at the club who hosts every Saturday social and gets four texts a week asking where her shirt is from. Both of you already do the work of recommending. This is a way to be paid for it.

The deal

15% commission on every qualifying order through your unique link.
30-day cookie window. If someone clicks your link and buys within thirty days, the sale is yours.
Monthly payouts via PayPal or direct deposit, on the first of the following month, for any balance over $25.
No minimums on referrals. One sale a month or fifty a month, the rate is the same.
A dedicated affiliate newsletter with early looks at upcoming capsules, exclusive promo codes for your audience, ready-to-share creative, and lead times for seasonal drops so you can plan posts ahead.
A 20%-off welcome code for your audience to use on their first dinkmade order.
Real product at a real wholesale cost for any affiliate who would like samples to wear and photograph. (Limited to two pieces per quarter at our cost plus shipping.)

Who we are looking for

Country club ladder coordinators, league captains, and the women who organize the Saturday round-robin.
Adult daughters who buy gifts for their mothers and their mother's doubles group.
Pickleball instructors at the club, rec center, or community level.
Substack and newsletter writers in the classic-style, slow-fashion, midlife-women, or pickleball spaces.
Instagram and Pinterest creators with an audience that overlaps with our buyer — older women, classic-style apparel, gift discovery.

We are not looking for sweepstakes accounts, coupon sites, or anyone whose audience is twenty-five and under. The fit will not work for them or for us.

How it works once you are in

1. You apply through the form below.

2. We review applications weekly. Most decisions land within five business days.

3. If you are a fit, we send a welcome email with your unique link, your audience promo code, the affiliate creative pack (logos, lifestyle photography, copy snippets), and the newsletter signup.

4. You share. We track. We pay on the first of every month for the prior month's balance over $25.

A few rules

No deceptive marketing. Do not promise things we do not promise. Do not stack discounts beyond your assigned code.
No paid search on dinkmade trademark terms. Bidding on "dinkmade" in Google or Pinterest ads is grounds for removal from the program.
Disclose properly. Standard FTC affiliate disclosure on any post that uses your link.
One application per person. If the answer is no this round, you are welcome to reapply in six months as your audience grows.
