Cura Partner Program
Cura Collections creates curated gift boxes assembled by hand at Paper Mill Studio in Akron — filled with local NE Ohio products and shipped to corporate clients across the region. We partner with a select group of well connected local professionals who refer clients to us and earn a commission on every order placed — not just the first one.
How It Works
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | You introduce us to a business that does high ticket work — HVAC, roofing, waterproofing, real estate, property management or any relationship driven business |
| Step 2 | We have a conversation with them, show them the ROI calculator and propose a gifting program |
| Step 3 | They sign up — you earn 10% of their first order as a referral fee |
| Step 4 | Every quarter when they reorder you earn 5% of that order — for one year from their start date |
What You Earn
Here's what the commission looks like across different client sizes:
| Client Order Value | Your Commission (First Order) | Your Commission (Recurring) | Estimated Annual Earning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 boxes — Classic ($2,425) | 10% — $243 | 5% — $121/quarter | ~$606/yr |
| 100 boxes — Premium ($12,700) | 10% — $1,270 | 5% — $635/quarter | ~$3,810/yr |
| 500 boxes — Signature ($83,500) | 10% — $8,350 | 5% — $4,175/quarter | ~$25,050/yr |
| Ohio State Waterproofing (1,200 boxes) | 10% — $12,240 | 5% — $6,120/quarter | ~$36,720/yr |
The Ohio State Waterproofing example is real — a company doing 1,200 installs per year at $25,000 average job value. One introduction to a client like that generates over $36,000 in first-year commissions.

Why This Works
We proved this model ourselves. From 2021 to 2024 Matt Shields oversaw a $40 million residential portfolio across six buildings in Shaker Heights Ohio. Every new resident received an unexpected gift at lease signing. Roughly 30% of new residents came through referrals. The phone rang constantly with thank you calls.
The gift wasn't the relationship. It was the start of the relationship.
