GCU Forum - Have you made a FlipEcard sale?

Reply #15 - Feb 26^th, 2010, 2:52pm I think this is a really good reason to work on more traditional cards (i.e. Birthday, Friendship) as opposed to harder to find (like Bridesmaids). Mindy, is there any way to see the most popular e-card selling categories, or is it too soon?

Angela, this is a great question. I would love to see the types of e-cards that are selling. Are these sales combined in the best selling category reports we already have access to?

I only noticed it today and I'm sure it's probably been there a while. I've now removed that fan page from my FB as i kept going to that one instead of the new one. Cheryl

norma here is a link to mindys' discussion on this...

http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/forum/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1267219975/4#4

sounds like it was a quick last minute trial thing... you are not the only one who "sold" free cards. i am sort of glad mine still hasn't activated. i am sorry you all didn't get any commissions. i would not be happy either.

In Global Preferences you can change your FlipEcard settings to NO if you choose. This will also opt you out of offering your paper cards via the GCU for Facebook application, it's an all or nothing scenario. Go here to change your settings:

FlipEcards are priced at 99 cents with artists earning 30 cents. We recently offered a 1 day only free FlipEcard promotion.

Way too soon to tell. The plan is to market on FB the range of unique and hard to find cards GCU offers so shoppers will not only send the traditional cards but like on the GCU site itself those specific and non-traditional cards will be popular as well.
