Our aim is to support our partner entrepreneurs in three ways: First and most simply, we generate a bulk order of their products, providing a guaranteed one-time order that will hopefully be a major boost in revenue for the year. Second, by showcasing their products, we provide marketing to an already-well-targeted group of customers; those who purchase ImmigrantLove boxes (hopefully you!) are more likely to be excited about intercultural experiences, supportive of small businesses, and valuing of highly curated, handmade, authentically sourced items. Toward this goal, we include Story Notes from each of our entrepreneurs so that as many ImmigrantLove customers as possible also become recurring customers of the component businesses. And as part of our ongoing storytelling, we hope to remind customers of the amazing entrepreneurs behind the boxes that they just received or will receive in the future. Third, we partner with the microlending non-profit Kiva U.S. and social initiative DreamxAmerica to connect our entrepreneurs with zero-interest, zero-fee loans of up to $15,000, if that is a need for them. This is in addition to our impact initiative, which contributes to zero-interest lending to immigrant, refugee, and first-gen entrepreneurs across America, beyond those partnering with us on our boxes.
