Promotional events..demystified!
As a new vendor at Renderosity, you might not be familiar with all the promotion events that RMP offers. This article hopes to be your guide through all of them, explain how they work, address all your questions and become a valuable tool at your disposal of how to promote your products the best possible way!
First and most important.. let's get you introduced to "Daily Deals" !
The Daily Deals page is your fastest guide to know at all times, precisely what's going on at the site on that certain day. You will find the "DEALS" page at the top Renderosity menu, with green letters - making it stand out at one glance! In the Daily Deals you will notice that each event might have a different name (Store Sale, CGspree, VGS etc) and each entry has a clickable image that leads to the article of that particular event. So let's explore events one by one and lift the shroud of mystery from each single one of them! :)
CGSpree
CGSprees always start at 0:00 am server time and they are visible at the marketplace menu along with the countdown clock that accompanies them, plus they are visible at the side of all product pages, all freestuff pages and gallery image pages so no matter where a visitor is they will always be able to see it.
It is a very popular event since it is announced in newsletters and gets the most visibility with its presence at the site menu. You can't go anywhere in Renderosity without noticing it!
Two separate product images, the product thumb, direct link to the product, countdown clock, link to the vendor's store plus a rotating glider of random products from his store, are always available in the CGSpree article which is showcased on the Daily Deals page for as long as the sale is live. In addition, a Hero banner is displayed on the Front Page of the site and the Main Page of the Marketplace.
CGSprees are by invitation only and cannot be requested. Due to their popularity and limited number of spots CGSpree spots are booked fast.
Promotional images of the event are created by our team from your promos, so always make certain to avoid a lot of text on them. The date of the CGSpree may not be immediately available to you as we try to provide variety (a scene now, an outfit or character afterwards, then a scene again) but the revenue, even if later than expected is always worth the wait.
The staff will take care of the article and appropriate promotions and your CGSpree will become live at 10:00 am server time on the booked date, at 50% off for 48 or 24 hours only!

The vendor needs to contact promotionalevents@renderosity.com soon after the upload and inform them of their wish, plus include the product ID or a direct link to the product in queue.
