Premiere Website
|

Total storage space is 20 MB shared between website and E-mail. Use our templates, submission forms and layout designs to submit
your site.
Our web designer will work with you to customize your 10 page site (7 custom + 3 standard ) to your satisfaction. You can update your standard site at any time using the templates and standard layout designs. A $125 set-up fee applies for each custom site update. Custom update with consultation with web designer $300. for each site update. Per page fees may also apply.
|
|
One Time Design Charge
|
|
A “Link Only” to your existing website does not incur the $300 set-up fee. "Link Only" is subject to e-commerce link rules.
Monthly membership still applies. Members with outside websites that are e-comerce enabled must agree to permit embedded counter on their pages to check cookies for bypassed customers to prevent a member
from avoiding the commission to Craft-O-Matic for Craft-O-Matic generated customers.
|
|
Listing Prominence
|
|
When a product search is made, the matching results are broken into 3 groups: Premiere, Sponsor and Basic. The Premiere and
Sponsor lists are sorted by oldest continous date of membership first to newest. The basic list is sorted by: description (default), crafter name or date product added (newer first) at the option of the
customer.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the catalogue is displayed for a customer -
All premiere listings are displayed first, then Sponor listings, before any of the basic listings are displayed.
A Premiere member will always be listed above Sponsor and Sponsor above Basic members.
The oldest continuos membership will be listed first between members of the same level with crafts in the same category. Even if the Premiere or Sponsor Member adds a new item in a new category, that member will still move to the top of the search list if his or her Continous Membership Date is older than any other Member of that level with crafts in the sa,me category, even if the other member had crafts in that category sooner or longer.
This benefit rewards those Crafters that made a continous commiment to this site from the beginning.
Over time, this benefit becomes extrememly valuable as the total number of listed crafts increases.
|
|
Shipping and Handling
|
|
Gross sale does not include shipping and handling costs, all of which go to the crafter. In addition to the commission, the COT (Cost of
transaction) is passed onto the crafter. This includes the merchant transaction fees from customer payments and credit card debit fees or check writing fees for credit card debit or checks to pay
you.
|
|
Break even
|
|
The breakeven between the Member commission rate (20%) and the Premiere Rate (12.5%) with Membership fee ($100/month) is $1,334 of
online monthly gross sales. So if your online sales exceed $1,334 per month then is cheaper to be a Premiere Member than a regular Member.
|
|
Sponsor Website
|
|
Web site includes up to 5 MB of storage space.
Use our templates, submission forms and layout designs to submit your site. You can update your site at any time. $125 set-up fee applies for each site update.
|
|
Sponsor Break Even
|
|
The breakeven between the Member commission rate (20%) and the Sponsor Rate (15%) with Membership fee ($40/month) is $800 of online
monthly gross sales. So if your online sales exceed $800 per month then is cheaper to be a Sponsor Member than a regular Member.
