CML in the News:

We wanted to share with you… a Google initiative to promote apps across the 50 US states, followed by a Craft Industry Alliance scholarship we received.

Craft Industry Alliance:

A trade association for craft industry professionals, Craft Industry Alliance is a community coming together to problem-solve, learn, and connect with other small business owners. Color My Life was selected to receive a scholarship (a one-year membership) which will allow us to connect with other businesses, give us access to business resources, and help us expand our app to other crafts. You can read more about it here.

Companies in Barcode Catalog:

We get a lot of questions about what’s in our barcode catalog. We hope this explains it all!

Which companies are in the app?

We rely on companies to provide their product list to us so we can add them to our database. In the very early days of the app, we were able to load products for hundreds of suppliers. Unfortunately, we don’t receive regular updates from several of these companies which is why you don’t see the newer releases (e.g. Ranger). Want them added? See below: How do we get new companies added to the app.

You can find the latest list of companies on our website. We don’t refresh this list after every update, so the best way to see the latest and greatest list is by searching our barcode catalog when adding an item. The web app may be the quickest because you can type/search for manufacturers.

When are new releases added?

In general, we rely on the companies to provide us with an updated list of products so we can add them. We try to get them added within a day or two. Some companies have multiple new releases a month so we tend to consolidate them into one larger update.

If you think we are missing a product or taking too long on a new release, feel free to contact us at support@colormylife.com. We get a bit busy at times and can fall behind.

How do we get new companies added to the app?

Let us know and we can contact them, however we’ve found that if you contact them directly, we have a better chance of having them join. Be sure to tell them there’s no cost to join and they can reach out to us at support@colormylife.com for more information.
