------------------------------------------------------------------------ ESELLERATE AFFILIATE PROGRAM UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the following updates and changes to the eSellerate Affiliate Program: - E-mail Notification Improvements - My Products Page Enhancements - Product Detail Page Enhancements - International ACH Country Listing Expanded - Affiliate Sales Credit Verification If you have any questions about any of the following topics, please contact support@esellerate.net. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-MAIL NOTIFICATION IMPROVEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eSellerate has added your Affiliate Name and ID to the subject line of all automated e-mails that we send to you. This will be a benefit to those of you who have multiple affiliate accounts with us. Also note that the New Product e-mail that we send to announce recently added products to our affiliate program has been completely redesigned. The new design now makes the pertinent information more accessible. This e-mail will also be sent in dual format (HTML and plain text) to work best with the e-mail client of your choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MY PRODUCTS PAGE ENHANCEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ One of the first items on this page that you will notice is that we have added two new columns: EST and Relevance. EST is simply a quick reference guide to let you know which products are EST enabled. The Relevancy column displays the importance of the product as decided by you. The Relevancy feature is a tool provided to you to use as you feel fit. The options for this feature are Primary and Secondary and could be used to help track which items you are currently promoting, or used in any other matter you desire. Within the table you may now sort by column, control exactly which SKUs display, and select products for deletion. We have also enhanced the search abilities to include SKU or publisher name, provided the ability to display by Relevance, and provided the ability to display a limited amount of products on multiple pages. Please take the time to log into your account and visit the My Products page to review these enhancements. Online help is provided there should you have any questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRODUCT DETAIL PAGE ENHANCEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eSellerate has made numerous enhancements to this page to help you make your decisions on selling these products. The publisher has the ability to include a marketing message with his product posting. This message is now more noticeable. Please take the time to read these comments as they may provide specific instructions. Clicking on the “Sell This Product” button will now add the product to your inventory and will set the Relevancy of the product to Primary. We have added a “Sell All Products” button that will allow you to sell all the existing products by that particular publisher and any future products this publisher makes available to affiliates. Once you have chosen to sell all of the products for a publisher, you will be notified via e-mail every time that publisher releases a new product to the affiliate system and is added to your inventory. If you have signed up to sell all of the products for a chosen publisher, you will be given the option to stop the automatic sign-up option for that relationship. Existing products will remain in your inventory until manually deleted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTERNATIONAL ACH COUNTRY LISTING EXPANDED ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eSellerate has expanded the number of areas to which we can send International ACH payments to include the following countries and territories: Austria, Belgium, France (Metropolitan, Guiana, Polynesia, Southern Territory), Italy, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Spain , and Switzerland. This form of payment provides an easier, less expensive way to make payments to your bank account. If you are included in any of the above countries, eSellerate will automatically change your method of payment from International Wire to International ACH. You will need to log into your Affiliate Account, click on My Payment Info, verify your bank currency and provide any missing information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AFFILIATE SALES CREDIT VERIFICATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eSellerate can now provide you with an URL that will allow you to more easily test that you are getting credit for the sales that you initiate through a buy link posted on a web site or from within an application. This URL will take you to a hidden page that will display the publisher and affiliate information for that session. Please refer to the online documentation within your eSellerate affiliate account to learn more about this topic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eSellerate is a registered trademark of MindVision, Inc.
