General information
What is the Cyber Week Sale Campaign?
Cyber Week is the biggest sale event on the calendar! It includes our two busiest shopping days of the year: Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Envato’s marketing team are putting together our annual Cyber Week Sale campaign that will feature 30-60% off items from ThemeForest and CodeCanyon.
Selected items will be promoted on a dedicated page within each participating marketplace, enabling customers to browse sale items using the full range of Envato Market filters. Our campaign will be promoted through Envato’s marketing channels, including on-site promotion, email and affiliates.
The campaign has been designed so that the majority of items promoted will be at 50% off, with additional items included at 30% to 60% off; giving you the opportunity to nominate at any discount in this range.
Extended Offers! Our Cyber Week Sale campaign will include extended offers. When you nominate your items for the main sale, you can choose to extend your discount and take advantage of additional traffic after the main sale has ended. The extended offer campaign will be promoted on-site, through email and affiliates.
Campaign dates:
- Main Sale: Live between Monday 20 November 5am (UTC) and Wednesday 29 November 12:59pm (UTC) 2023.
- Extended Offers: Live between Wednesday 29 November 1pm (UTC) and Saturday 2 December 12:59pm (UTC) 2023.

VideoHive, AudioJungle and GraphicRiver Update
For the Cyber Week Sale campaign, nominations are not required for VideoHive, AudioJungle and GraphicRiver as we will be driving traffic from selected channels to the existing video, audio and graphics sale filters during the campaign. Authors with video, audio or graphics items are welcome to discount their own items during the campaign period (at a discount of your choice), using the Manage Discount tool.
Nominating items
Are there minimum sales requirements for items in this campaign?
This campaign does not require minimum sales or ratings for item nominations. However, both will factor into our decision on what to include in the campaign.
How do I nominate a Discounted File for this campaign?
Follow the instructions in this thread:
Will there be a landing page used during this campaign?
There will be dedicated campaign pages on each participating marketplace (ThemeForest & CodeCanyon), which will display campaign items for the item type of that marketplace. This method allows customers to browse the sale items using the full range of Envato Market item filters.
Item selection
How many items will be selected for this campaign?
The number of items selected for this campaign will be determined by the quantity and quality of the nominations. We encourage you to nominate the best of your portfolio!
How and when will I be told if my item(s) are chosen to be on the landing page?
We will contact all authors whose items are selected for promotion via email between 1st to 5th November. Please note that we will only contact authors whose items have been selected for promotion on our campaign page.
Can I still discount my item if it isn’t in the official campaign?
Yes, items not participating in the official campaign are able to be discounted by their author using the Manage Discount tool (provided the item adheres to Promotional Pricing rules) and will appear on the standard sale filter pages.
For items not in the official campaign, we encourage you to share your own scheduled discounts plans with our team, as there may be ways in which we can provide promotional support. Just email us at communitymarketing@envato.com with the dates and details of your discount.
What if I want to withdraw my nomination?
If you’ve changed your mind and would like to withdraw your nomination before the campaign selection date (22nd October), please contact us via communitymarketing@envato.com and we will remove your item from the selection process.
If your item has already been chosen and scheduled into the campaign, you may opt-out of the campaign before it begins by using the Manage Discount tool. Make sure you’re certain before doing this though, because if you select to opt-out, we are unable to return your item into this campaign.
Will you add more items during the sale?
On occasion we may need to add additional items during the campaign. If so, we’ll select these from the main campaign nomination list, and contact the authors via their Envato Market email address. We’ll aim to provide at least 24 hours notice to these authors.
How are items selected?
All items nominated must meet the criteria selection on the nomination threads. Items for the promotional page will then be chosen by the Envato Marketing team.
Who is responsible for changing the price of items?
All item prices will be automatically changed at the specified times. Promotional prices are applied to campaign items on 20 November 1am (UTC).
After the promotion ends, your item will automatically return to its original price on;
- Main sale only —Wednesday 29 November at 12:59pm UTC
- Extended offers — Saturday 2 December at 12:59pm UTC
You may want to leave the original price in place, schedule your own discount via the Manage Discount tool or set a different price altogether. As with all pricing decisions under our Author-Driven Pricing policy, that’s entirely up to you.
What happens after I nominate my item(s)?
- If your item(s) are selected, we will contact you via the email address registered for your Envato Market account.
- We will provide confirmation that your item is scheduled into our campaign and additional information about the campaign process.
- We will provide a marketing image to use on your item page for the duration of the campaign.
- The discount will be applied to campaign items and they are added to the campaign page as per timeline above.
Why are campaign items discounted before the landing page and marketing goes live?
There are a number of pre-campaign checks and testing that needs to be completed before we can put our campaign landing page and marketing live. The time between discounting items and beginning our marketing ensures we can complete our pre-launch procedure and schedule marketing for the optimal delivery time in each region.
Will this campaign count towards the 60 days that this item can be discounted per year?
No, having an item accepted into an Envato campaign is not counted towards the 60 days an item can be discounted per year. See our author Discount & Promotional Pricing Guidelines for more information.
Can I discount my extended license for the campaign?
No, the campaign discount only applies to the standard license type and extended license discounts are not available in our Manage Discount service.
The original price of your extended license is able to be changed without impacting its sale participation however, once an item has been scheduled into the campaign (on 31st October), the extended license original price is unable to be updated until the discount ends on 29 November (main sale only) or 2 December (extended offers).
We’re keen to hear your feedback on extended license discounting, please email communitymarketing@envato.com with your expression of interest.
