We get it. You applied to collaborate with Funkybedz and didn’t get an instant “yes.” That can feel discouraging but it’s more common than you think, and it’s definitely not the end of the road.
Let’s walk through why this happens and what you can do next.
It’s not always about your follower count
Some creators assume that not getting approved means they’re too small. That’s rarely the case.
We’ve worked with nano influencers who had just 3,000 followers but produced amazing content. We’ve also had to say “not yet” to large accounts if the timing wasn’t right.
Why your application might be paused
Here are a few common reasons:
- We’ve hit our monthly gifting limit
- We already have someone covering your niche this month
- We’re prioritising creators in certain locations (e.g. cities for delivery trials)
- Your audience doesn’t quite match our home and lifestyle focus
It’s not personal. It’s about fit and timing.
What to do if you’re not approved
-
Stay connected.
Follow us on socials. Tag us in relevant content. Show us you’re still interested. -
Grow your niche.
If your audience includes renters, students, families, or first-time buyers - lean into that. It aligns beautifully with our brand. -
Reapply later.
Every 6–8 weeks we revisit applications. If your content has grown or changed, send us an update.
Stand out with these small touches
- Tag us in styling posts even if they’re not sponsored
- Comment on our latest collab creators - it shows support
- Share your interior style journey on stories or TikTok
- Mention how your audience engages with your home content
These signals help us prioritise you for future campaigns.
Final word
If you weren’t approved the first time, don’t be disheartened. Some of our best collaborations started with a second try.
We see you. Keep creating. Let’s keep the door open.
