MAPLE & MAIN ST | For Creators
Creator Media Kit
What a Creators directory listing includes, the tools you get to publish Canadian picks, and exactly what it costs.
What it costs
One listing price, no commission
That is the whole arrangement. We never take a percentage of a brand deal, an affiliate payout or a product fee you negotiate yourself.
Cancellation
Cancel any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you are not billed from the next cycle onward. We do not prorate or refund the period in progress.
Annual plans work the same way: cancelling stops the renewal, it does not refund the remaining months of a year already prepaid.
Your toolkit
Six tools in the listing
Shoppable picks
Build a rail of Canadian products and businesses you actually recommend. Every pick links to the vendor with your creator tag attached, so the click is credited to you.
One link and QR pack
Your listing has a canonical URL and a QR code you can drop in a bio, a story, a print piece or a market table sign.
Verified Canadian badge
Embed the same badge merchants use. It renders live from the platform, so the trust signal on your site stays current.
Edit contributions
Pitch a piece for the MAPLE & MAIN Edit. Published contributors get a byline, a profile link and a shoppable rail beside the story.
Local and provincial placement
Choose the province and cities you cover. Shoppers browsing those pages see creators who actually know the ground.
Merchant introductions
Paid members can browse the directory and reach out. We pass the introduction along; we never take a cut of what you agree with a brand.
House rules
- Disclose paid partnerships plainly, in the post itself, per Competition Bureau guidance.
- Only feature businesses you have actually bought from or visited. We remove listings that recommend to order.
- Alcohol content follows provincial rules: no delivery claims across provincial lines, no promotion to minors.
- Canadian Score™ claims must come from the listing, not from your own estimate.
