Cyber Monday is our biggest marketing campaign event of the year, and it’s just around the corner! We’re now accepting item nominations for ThemeForest, CodeCanyon and GraphicRiver. And, we’re also accepting Headline Promotion Nominations too. Here’s everything you need to know about that:
What is Cyber Monday and why is it a big deal?
Cyber Monday is one of the biggest, global online shopping events 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!
What’s Envato doing for Cyber Monday and when does it begin?
We’re running a dedicated Cyber Monday campaign page, showcasing 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.
The campaign will be live between Tuesday, 21st November and Wednesday, 29th November 2017 (2pm AEDT).
