Then

Send us your partnership ad code, and drop your affiliate code in the caption — 20% for them, 15% for you.

Everything below explains each of these. Four minutes, start to finish.

01  Start here

The collaboration, in full

One short video, posted properly, plus your own affiliate code so the collaboration keeps earning after the post goes up.

What you get

  • Your gifting option — Personalized or Signature — yours to keep
  • Your own affiliate code: 20% off for your followers, 15% commission for you
  • Selected content may receive paid promotion from Petissi
  • Early access to new collections before they launch

What we ask

  • One Reel — 20–30 seconds for an aesthetic edit, up to 45 if you’re talking to camera
  • You and your dog in frame together at least once
  • If your pieces were customized, show the customizer
  • You appear wearing your own pieces — see your gifting option below
  • Posted as a Collab with @petissi_official
  • The paid partnership label switched on
  • Your partnership ad code, sent to us after you post

Timing

Please aim to post within seven days of receiving your package, or let us know if you need more time. We’d much rather move the date than rush the video.

02  Your package

Your selected gifting option

You chose one of these when we agreed the collaboration — it’s confirmed in your email from us. What we ask on camera depends on which one you’re receiving.

Option A

Personalized

  • Your dog’s personalized piece
  • One matching piece for you

The condition: the complete owner set is included only if you appear in the video wearing it. If you’d rather stay off camera, that’s fine — you’ll receive the single owner piece.

Option B

Signature

  • The complete matching set for you and your dog

The condition: because you’re receiving the full set, please appear in the video wearing or introducing your pieces. It doesn’t need to be a long shot — a hand, a wrist, a few seconds is plenty.

Not sure which one you’re on? Reply to our email and we’ll confirm before you film.

03  Earning

Your two codes

You’ll deal with two different codes in this collaboration. They do completely different jobs — this trips people up, so here they are side by side.

Code 1 — yours

Your affiliate code

Used by your followers, at checkout

  • Gives your followers 20% off
  • Earns you 15% commission on qualifying sales
  • Valid for six months
  • Paid monthly by PayPal, with no minimum threshold

Code 2 — ours

Instagram partnership ad code

Used by Petissi, inside Instagram’s ad tools

  • You generate it on your post and send it to us
  • It lets us run your Reel as an ad from your handle, if we choose to promote it
  • Generally available for around 60 days
  • You can revoke it at any time

Getting your affiliate code working

  • We’ll send your code with your shipping confirmation.
  • Send us the PayPal email you’d like payouts sent to — we can’t pay you without it.
  • Put the code in your caption, and say it out loud if it fits. Followers can’t use a code they never see, and that’s where your commission comes from.

04  Who we are

About Petissi

Petissi was founded on a simple belief: our pets deserve the same elegance and care we give ourselves.

We make refined dog accessories from natural crystals and premium leather, hand-finished and designed to balance beauty with comfort — so your dog doesn’t just look exceptional, they feel it too.

We don’t only make accessories. We celebrate the bond between you and your dog through timeless, elevated design.

If you say one thing about us on camera, say this: you design it yourself, and it’s made to be worn by both of you.

05  The shoot

Your video

Two ways to make this. Pick whichever you’d actually enjoy making — both get the same treatment from us.

A — Talking

You speak to camera. Best if you’re comfortable on mic and want to walk people through the customizing.

B — Aesthetic

No voice, just visuals and on-screen text. Best if you’d rather not talk, or you like editing.

Format A

Talking to camera

30–45 seconds · 9:16 vertical · natural light

1 — Hook  3–5s

Pick one angle. Say it in the first three seconds, before anything else.

Angle 1 — You matchYour dog wearing their piece, then yours, ideally both of you in shot.

Okay, I finally found the perfect matching necklace for me and my dog.

I just designed a set of matching jewelry for me and my baby and it’s too cute.

If you secretly love matching with your dog, you need to see this.

If you’re stuck on what to get your dog — or a friend who has one — look at this.

Angle 2 — The craftOpen tight on the gemstone, the pendant, the hardware, then cut to it being worn.

I did not expect pet jewelry to be this beautifully made.

This might be the prettiest set of jewelry I’ve gotten all year.

Angle 3 — The momentUnbox it, show the custom details, put it on your dog, then put yours on.

They actually made exactly what I designed for me and my dog.

These are starting points, not a script. Say it however you’d say it to a friend.


2 — What it is  12–18s

Say at least 3 of these 4

You matchThe pet piece and the owner piece are designed to echo each other.
You design it yourselfBoth the pet and owner pieces are customizable on the Petissi site — this is the one that makes people click.
Real gemstonesNatural crystals and stones, so the colour and veining is slightly different on every piece.
HandmadeHand-finished, which is why it reads as real jewelry rather than a pet accessory.

Optional, if they fit:

  • Wear it on its own, or layer it with your everyday jewelry
  • Swap in different charms to make it yours
  • Good for photos, birthdays, Gotcha Day, or as a gift for a pet parent
  • No two pieces look quite the same, because the stones don’t
  • The owner side comes as a necklace, a bracelet, and more
  • Collars detach — leather and braided cord for everyday, add the crystal section for walks

Example script

So I found out you can design your own jewelry for your pet on Petissi’s site. My favourite part is you pick the necklace first — there are crystal ones, pearl, 18k gold — then you add your charms and build the whole thing around you and your dog.

I picked [gemstone] because [reason], and added [charm].

They use real natural gemstones, so the colour and the veining is a little different on every single one, and it’s all handmade — the quality is honestly lovely.

3 — Close  10–15s

Four shots we need in here:

  • Your dog wearing theirs, on their own
  • You wearing yours, on your own
  • The two of you in frame together
  • One or two close-ups on the gemstone or charm

Then send people to the customizer. Pick a line, or write your own:

If you want to design a matching set with your dog, go have a play with Petissi’s customizer.

Honestly the best part was building it — getting back something you designed yourself is so satisfying.

They have so many crystals and styles, I’m already planning my next one.

Build one around your pup’s coat and personality — I really want to see what you come up with, drop them in the comments.

Finish with your code: “Use my code [YOUR CODE] for 20% off.”

Format B

Aesthetic edit, no voice

20–30 seconds · 9:16 vertical · natural light

I designed it → they made it → we wear it together.

Customizing  5–8s

Screen-record the Petissi customizer on your phone: choosing the gemstone, adding charms, finishing the design. This step is the video. It’s the one thing a photo can’t show, and it’s why people click.

What every post needs

  • @petissi_official tagged in the caption
  • #Petissi_pets in the caption itself — not the first comment
  • The paid partnership label with Petissi (step 2 below). It’s how you disclose the gifted pieces, and it’s what makes the ad code possible
  • Your affiliate code, so followers can actually use it and you get paid

08  Posting

Three steps in the app

This is the part that decides whether the collaboration works. It takes about two minutes.

Step 1

Post it as a Collab with us

On the Reel screen before you share: tap Tag peopleInvite collaborator → search petissi_officialDoneShare.

We accept from our side and the Reel goes out on both profiles at once — your audience and ours, one post, both sets of views counted together.

Already posted? You can still add us: tap •••EditTag peopleInvite collaborator.

Step 2

Switch on the paid partnership label

Same screen, before you share: tap Partnership label & ads → turn on Get partnership ad code → back → Share.

The label is your disclosure for the gifted pieces, and turning the toggle on now saves you a step in a minute.

You need a Professional account (Creator or Business) for this. Switching is free and takes a moment: SettingsAccount type and tools.

Step 3

Send us your partnership ad code

Once the Reel is live: open it → tap ••• top right → Partnership label & adsGet partnership ad codeCopy.

Send the code to alan@petissi.com, or DM it to @petissi_official — whichever is easier. It looks like a long string starting with adcode-.

This is not your affiliate code — that one is for your followers. See “Your two codes” above if the difference isn’t clear.

Instagram moves these menus around. If your app looks different, look for Partnership label & ads under the three dots on the post — that’s where it lives.

What the ad code actually does

  • It allows us to run your Reel as an ad, from your handle, with your name on it — if we choose to promote it. Not every video is promoted.
  • If we do promote it, your video reaches well beyond your own followers.
  • It does not give us your login, your DMs, or any ability to edit or delete your post.
  • A code is generally available for around 60 days.
  • You can revoke it at any time from the post’s ••• menu, and any ad stops.

11  Questions

FAQ

Do I keep the product?

Yes. It’s yours — no returns, no deposit.

Which format should I pick — talking or aesthetic?

Whichever you’d actually enjoy making. Talking suits you if you’re comfortable on camera and want to walk people through designing the piece; the aesthetic edit suits you if you’d rather not be on mic. Both get the same promotion from us, and neither is scored higher.

Do I really have to film the website?

If your pieces were customized, please do — a screen recording of you picking the gemstone and adding charms is the single most useful thing in the video. It’s the one thing a photo can’t communicate, and it’s what makes people go and try it themselves.

What’s the difference between my affiliate code and the ad code?

Your affiliate code is for your followers — they enter it at checkout for 20% off, and you earn 15% commission. The partnership ad code is for us — you generate it on your post and send it over so we can promote the Reel through Instagram’s ad tools. Different codes, different jobs, and they never get typed into the same place.

Is this a paid collaboration?

Not a flat fee. You receive the pieces, plus 15% commission on every qualifying sale through your code. Selected content may also receive paid promotion from us.

When and how do I get paid?

Monthly, by PayPal, with no minimum threshold — so even one sale gets paid out. Send us the PayPal email you’d like us to use.

How long does my affiliate code last?

Six months from the day we issue it.

Do I have to be in the video myself?

You and your dog need to be in frame together at least once, in both formats — but that can be a hand, a wrist, or a shot from behind. You never have to talk: that’s what the aesthetic format is for. Beyond that: on Option B (Signature), please appear wearing or introducing your pieces. On Option A (Personalized), appearing on camera in your set is what unlocks the complete owner set; if you’d rather not, you’ll receive the single owner piece instead.

Can I post it to TikTok or my Story as well?

Please do. This guide covers the Instagram Reel we’ve agreed on; anything extra is a bonus and we’re grateful for it.

Will you edit or re-cut my video?

No. If we promote it, we run it exactly as you posted it.

Can I revoke the ad code later?

Any time, from the post’s ••• menu. Any ad running on it stops.

What if my dog won’t wear it?

Let them wear it around the house for a day or two first — most dogs settle quickly. If it’s still a no, tell us. We’d rather have no video than a stressed dog.

How do I get the right size?

Send us your dog’s neck measurement and breed and we’ll pick the size for you.

Can I work with other pet brands?

Of course. Just not in the same video.

Something’s gone wrong, or I need more time.

Message us. Delays are fine; silence is the only thing that’s hard to work with.
