How becoming an affiliate can benefit YOUR business...

  • As a valued affiliate partner, you have the opportunity to earn a significant 20% commission for each new member your audience brings into our program. This arrangement not only enhances your earnings but also strengthens our collaborative effort.

  • Partnering with our Academy opens up avenues for considerable sales growth. By tapping into our member base, which is keenly interested in relevant products, you're likely to see an increase in your overall sales and revenue.

  • As an affiliate, you also have the opportunity to gain new customers as The Retail Academy membership grows and attracts new retailers, building a close-knit community of like-minded business owners who are keen to share what’s working! As a trusted supplier of my own, I will also be recommending your products

  • Through this collaboration, you can further cement your relationship with me, Tara Solberg, as well as with the Academy and its members. This fosters long-term business opportunities and establishes a foundation for sustained success.

  • Affiliates will be at the top of my list of preferred suppliers, which means you will receive mentions in my emails and you will be featured on my preferred supplier supplement. Already, I have established several new relationships between members and brands they don’t currently stock.

  • By contributing quality products to our academy members, you play a crucial role in their success. This, in turn, can lead to a higher demand for your offerings, creating a cycle of mutual growth and benefit.

  • Engaging with academy members offers you direct feedback, which is invaluable for product development. This interaction fosters innovation and helps refine your offerings, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the market.

  • Being associated with a reputable Academy positively impacts your industry standing. This association not only enhances your credibility but also attracts additional business prospects, expanding your reach in the industry.

  • Our specialized focus on homewares and lifestyle retailers ensures that your marketing efforts are targeted toward a specific audience. This focused approach increases the effectiveness of your marketing initiatives, maximizing the impact on your desired customer base.

Hi there, I’m Tara

I’m the founder of Few and Far and Indigo Love, two halves of one thriving business.

And now that our stores are growing year over year? 

After a successful first launch of The Retail Academy, we're ready to invite affiliates to help us grow the Academy - and expose your business to another eager audience.

Hear from successful students about the power of the Academy...

and hear first-hand what a great program it can be for you to successfully promote -

We’re so glad we signed up for her courses, Trade Wins 
and now The Retail Academy. 

Tara has that genuine passion for homewares and education that resonates warmly when she speaks. We have access to Tara’s priceless wealth of knowledge built from creating one of Australia’s most prominent homewares stores, Few and Far, and the wholesale arm Indigo Love. While living and breathing ongoing success at the top, this has not dented Tara’s genuine love for educating other like-minded souls, supporting, advising, and building on their dreams.

Tara is passionate about creating beautiful homeware spaces but she is just as keen to inspire others to succeed. She is…a woman of integrity!

Tara has developed her own business protocols, designed to offer the aspiring businesswoman all the wisdom, advice, first-hand recommendations, and the ools necessary to take that giant leap into business ownership. 

Libby Braden, Renata Home

Tara’s extensive knowledge, passion and personalised guidance has been transformative. She goes beyond teaching industry insights through her courses, but also inspires you personally through her growth mindset perspective. I wholeheartedly recommend Tara and the courses she has created as an enriching learning experience, mentor and teacher, confident that you too will experience the same transformative journey that I did. No words could ever be enough to express how lucky I feel to experience the support and high-quality education Tara delivered. Congratulations Tara on all your achievements!
