At Watermark, we offer beautiful products for you and your home that have a faith-based design or are created by Christian makers. We exist to share hope through the love and word of God, and absolutely everything we do is grounded and inspired by our core values:
Faith | We’re all about being real, not religious. Everything we do spreads peace, love and joy by sharing and showcasing Christian faith-based products and/or creators.
Connection | We respect, support and celebrate our customers, other small businesses, the planet and our community by creating a sense of love and belonging.
Community | Together we will build a better future by uplifting, inspiring and connecting with other like-minded people. We help others create a beautiful space, grow in their faith and live their best lives.
Life is a journey and we hope you’ll join us! You can count on us sharing our authentic selves, thoughts, processes and stumbles along the way.
Giving Back
“And do not forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.” + Hebrews 13:16
We are thankful for every bit of success we see through Watermark and consider it an honor to give back to those in need. We want to support the people and communities around us, and see the opportunity to give as another way to share God’s love and goodness. With that, we commit to donating a portion of our profits to charity.
The current cause we are supporting is A21. They are one of the worlds largest organizations dedicated to fighting human trafficking. They work at a local, domestic, and international level. All over the world, they are not just responding to trafficking that is already taking place, they are also actively working on the frontlines to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Suggest a cause! Do you know of a great cause or charity in need? We’d love to hear about it! Please send us your suggestions at hello@thewatermarkshop.com
Sustainable Packaging
All of our packaging has been carefully sourced and selected to be gentle on the environment. We aim for sustainability and responsible shipping practices by:
- Re-using boxes and packaging materials that we have received from our suppliers or saved from our own personal purchases
- Selecting as little packaging as possible when fulfilling orders
- Using water-based, recyclable tape on boxes we ship
- Choosing water-soluble ‘peanuts’ or recycled paper to pad shipments rather than plastic bubble wrap
- Purchasing packaging that can be easily recycled and/or composted
If your package contains plastic bubble wrap this means we received it in a shipment from a supplier or from our own personal shopping. We try to re-use as much as we can!
Value Icons
To make it easier for you to identify the important values that the products and brands possess, we’ve created visual icons and added them to every product page so you can easily identify each sustainability value that applies.
