3rd Party Seller Program - Earnings
Aug 19^th, 2010, 2:39pm

We have just applied earnings from our first 3rd Party Sales partner (the online gift card retailer) reflecting their sales from April, May and June 2010. These earnings although "earned" in the 2Q will be rolled into artists' pending earnings for the 3Q payment period.

Please keep in mind from our original post on this program and this first partner that only a handful of artists and cards will be chosen. For this first 3 months of sales only 16 lucky artists had cards chosen. A real testament to the quality and marketability of their cards - excellent job

The cards offered during this time period were a small collection for:
Birthday
Mother's Day
Father's Day
Graduation
Congratulations
New Baby
Wedding

These sales can be identified specifically in two places with a date range of 4/1/10 - 6/30/10:
1) Store Report - under Card Sold with Site noted as "3rd Party Site" and earnings of 25 cents / card
2) Earnings & Payments - with earnings of 25 cents / card

We are working on a Sales Source report that will allow you to see sales by source (GCU, BigDates, 3rd Party, etc.). However this may not be ready for a few months.

This partner is in the process of choosing more cards for the entire year of occasions and holidays. They will also be refreshing cards on their site throughout the year. So more opportunities for more artists.

A big congratulations to those artists who were chosen in this first collection! Cheesy

Regards,
Mindy

Good to see more opportunity's open for everyone. Congratulations to those of you who had cards chosen. Best wishes for many sales to you indeed. I hope we can find-read updates about this as time passes here. Read how they are all doing and perhaps more information- site guidance would be good too for the future choices to be made.

Mindy, Where can we view the cards that were chosen to see the styles and such for study so to speak?

Not sure we want to tip our hand on the partner nor the exact cards chosen at this point. Unfortunately it usually opens the floodgate to look-a-likes which does not serve anyone well.

If those chosen artists want to post here it is welcomed however I think you'll find no replies.
