Quote from Mindy on Nov 29^th, 2010, 1:16pm:

. . . Artists' commission rate should be based on the pre-discounted price per card (higher rate) and applied against the discounted price per card (lower price). . . For example with our current 50% off promotions 1 card sold for $1.39 (reg $2.79): 20% commission rate x $1.39 = 28 cents NOT 10% commission rate x $1.39 = 14 cents
This was a programming error and all sales using these promotions will be recalculated and reflected in your earnings reports by end of day tomorrow, Tuesday.
Again, our apologies for the error. undecided

THANK YOU!! We were a little harsh, thanks for making things right!

Who'd have thought .28c would sound so good Grin

Thank you GCU for restoring some dignity to us artists

Also two questions....
Any thoughts on limiting it to Holiday cards only in the future
and
the situation with the promo code working on orders placed throughout the weekend?
Pamela

To answer your questions...
No plans on limiting it to specific cards in future promotions
and
weekend sales using the promotion code will stand but will be recalculated with the higher earnings rate

May we ask if the promotion was a big success for GCU? Pamela

Thanks so much Mindy. I was feeling pretty down about the whole mess and half of me was saying to myself..."well, I guess gcu is just another no-ethics player". Thanks for rectifying a bad decision. Artists have a hard enough time as it is. I know of very few people other than artists who would invest their own time, energy and funds into a venture that "might" bring something in. Keep the trust going and we'll keep on going too
