February email campaign: CodeCanyon nominations

In February of last year, our Envato email marketing team ran one of our most successful campaigns ever. In fact, it was so successful that we’re getting ready to do it all over again. Nominations are now open for our authors to get involved :slight_smile:

What’s happening?

Over the next month, Envato’s marketing team will be launching a series of dedicated email sends to our customers lists. These will feature a selection of free and discounted file pairings.

These email sends will be delivered to a super-engaged subscriber list of over 600,000 customers, making this an awesome opportunity for you to boost sales to your files and traffic to your portfolio.

In this campaign, we would like to feature two files from each author.

File 1) A Discount Item, which will be offered at a discount of 40% below its Original Price.

File 2) A Free Item, which will be offered for free.

Items will be promoted listing their applicable discounts in one of two batches:

Batch 1: Commencing Tuesday February 12.

Batch 2: Commencing Wednesday February 20.

When completing your nomination form, you will be asked to indicate whether you are nominating your files for one or both of these sends.

We’re looking for a total of 8 authors and 16 files to be featured across the two batches. Files will be selected at random from a shortlist that meets our criteria.

By nominating for this promotion, you are choosing to set the price of your Discount Item to 40% of its Original Price, for a 8-day period from time of the campaign launch. The included buyer fee will not change. More information on how to calculate prices with buyer fees is available here. If selected, the Free Item will be reduced to $0 during the campaign period.
