Cyber Monday 2018: ThemeForest Nominations

ThemeForest Cyber Monday Nominations 2018

The 2018 Cyber Monday campaign is now live! Find it here: https://envato.com/cybermonday/

Cyber Monday nominations for 2018 have now closed. This thread was used during the campaign build-up period, to collect item nominations from Envato Authors.


What is Cyber Monday and why is it a big deal?

Cyber Monday is the biggest, global online shopping event of the year. As a globally established online event, Cyber Monday represents a window of opportunity for both authors and Envato to drive strong sales across our ecosystem. We’re running a special Cyber Monday campaign again this year and you, and your highest quality items, are all invited!

Our campaign will run between Tuesday, 20th November and Tuesday, 27th November 2018 (8pm AEDT). Our dedicated Cyber Monday campaign page will showcase some of the very best items from AudioJungle, CodeCanyon, GraphicRiver, ThemeForest, and VideoHive. We’ll feature selected items that are at a discount of 50% off their normal sale price.


What are we looking for?

To participate in our Cyber Monday campaign, please read and follow the requirements below otherwise your items may not be eligible for participation.

Guidelines

  • Items that are high quality, presented well, and up-to-date
  • Items that have been actively selling in the past 6 months
  • Items that have been well-received by customers, and well rated

We know that the best sales results are experienced by authors who put forward their best items for sale. We are therefore only looking for your very best items that meet our criteria.

ThemeForest requirements::

  • You must be the author of the item you’re submitting
  • This year we are looking to promote a mix of best sellers and fresh new items. Therefore we are looking for items which either meet:
    • At least 300 sales with a minimum of 4 stars or
    • At least 10 sales for an item that has been released in the last 30 days.

Also, to help us ensure that the discount is off your normal sale price, the item must have been listed at a consistent price for the 30 days leading up to the promotion period . See the pricing promotion rules below:

  • Consistent Price: Your item must have been listed at a consistent price for at least the 30 days prior to the promotion period - see our Discount & Promotional Pricing Guidelines.
  • Discount Price: By nominating for this promotion you are choosing to set your item’s list price to 50% of its stable list price (30-day period: Oct 21 - Nov 20), with the campaign pricing change effective on 20 November 2018 at 2pm, AEDT.
  • Buyer Fee: The included buyer fee will not change. You can find more information on how to calculate prices with buyer fees here.
  • Author-Driven Pricing: As your item is in an ADP category, you are of course free to change your price whenever you like, whether or not you previously nominated for the promotion. However, during the campaign period, we will be periodically reviewing the page to make sure we’re putting our best foot forward in promoting great deals for our customers. Items which do not meet the promotional criteria will automatically be removed from the promotion page (but will of course remain for sale on Envato Market).

Note: We’re also looking for Headline Promotion Nominations
A Headline Promotion Nomination is an item that will be featured in a prominent spot on the relevant landing page for some duration of the Cyber Monday campaign. In order to be eligible, your item needs to meet or exceed the following review and sales thresholds for your respective marketplace:

  • ThemeForest: 4+ star rated with over 3,000 sales
  • CodeCanyon: 4+ star rated with over 1,000 sales
  • GraphicRiver: Over 200 sales
