GCU Forum - Have you made a FlipEcard sale?

Tom_133317 Gold Member artist Posts: 2169	Have you made a FlipEcard sale? Feb 26^th, 2010, 1:11am Well, I just had one come through. Here's what the sale email notification looks like. I also noticed the sale shows up in the Store Report like a normal paper card sale. I'll suggest to GCU that they identify these FilpEcard sales separately somehow. Would you like them combined or not?

Im not on here much so was confused when I got a FLipEcard sale yesterday, happy, but didn't know what it was. Then I woke up this morning and that person bought 60 of those same cards, so guess it is a neat way for them to share a card with others maybe before purchasing it?? Not sure but kind of cool. The notification of both sales made me happy, not sure if it needs to be any different for FLip cards, we all get super happy just getting the notification that someone bought something.. Wink

Reply #7 - Feb 26^th, 2010, 4:22am Haven't made one yet, but I am doing my best to get the word out on Facebook and in other places! I'm hoping it will be like GCU always has, a little slow at first, but them catching on like wildfire!

Tom ..... your like the master of GCU numbers......... is there a reason you might like them shown separately? And also, I'm nosey, do you stay awake all night?

Since we are only paid 30 cents each, I'd like to keep them separate somehow. And, yes, nosey, - I work through the night. Sleeping is just no fun.

Maybe you have a point Tom. The separation of accounts would give you a perspective of where your sales go. Leonilde

I think as long as it states where the sale came from I'm okay with that. I do have a question though. How do we see this feature on Facebook and how do I share it on my Facebook page? I am a member of the GCU FB page and looked this morning but didn't see anything.

Congrats to those of you who have made sales already!! WHOOHOOO!

Congrats & suggestion noted!

To date (a whopping 4 days & counting..) we're seeing FlipEcard sales 4x that of paper card sales. This is likely indicative of many factors with the most significant being that the Facebook environment by nature is / responds to:
o virtual minded vs traditional retail (conditioned to virtual gifting)
o instant gratification (NOW, last minute solution)
o more attractive to non-US users (more than 50% of our audience)
o less expensive (makes it more of a no brainer)

We believe FlipEcards will be an entree and self-advertising for the paper cards as opposed to cannibalizing possible paper card sales.
