$20,000 eBay Daily Deal Bonus Program

Jun 1, 2009 6:39 PM
Hi Everyone,

We're excited to launch the first eBay Partner Network Bonus Program with $20,000 in Cash Prizes up for grabs!!!

Starting today, from June 1st through July 31st we will be giving away nine $1,000 Weekly Cash Prizes, one $1,000 Best Daily Deal Integration Prize, and a $10,000 Grand Prize!

Expect to find an email explaining the full details shortly, if you have not yet received it. You will need to complete the registration form, integrate eBay Daily Deal creative on your site(s), and start generating eBay Daily Deal sales to be eligible to win.

Click here to Enter now.

Here are the official rules.

Get eBay Daily Deal banners and product feed.

Here's a quick overview on how this will work:
You’ll want to complete the entry form and place eBay Daily Deal ads on your site as soon as possible. That will get you entered in the program, but to be eligible to win one of the nine $1,000 Weekly Bonus Prizes you’ll also need to generate at least one eBay Daily Deal sale during the week of the drawing. So, to be entered and eligible for the first week drawing you’ll need to register and generate at least one eBay Daily Deal sale by 6/7/09. You will only need to register and generate at least one Daily Deal sale between 6/1 and 7/31 to be eligible for the $10,000 Grand Prize. However, the weekly drawings require that at least one Daily Deal sale is made in that particular week’s time range. Sales made in previous weeks will not carry over.

About the $1,000 Design Contest
The Design Contest will award a $1,000 Bonus to 1 (one) publisher who creates the best all around eBay Daily Deal experience on their site. The criteria we’ll use to judge will be:

1. URL name (eBay TM is not allowed in the domain)
2. Creativeness of Daily Deal integration
3. Overall brand messaging


The ePN team will select the top 3 Finalists to be voted on by the eBay Partner Network Discussion Board Community to determine the winner. To be part of the community voting please visit this thread and leave a reply to vote on your favorite design between August 5th and August 14th.

We are looking forward to seeing this eBay Daily Deal Bonus Program start bringing the heat this Summer to the already hot eBay Daily Deals!

Good Luck!

The eBay Partner Network Team

Does the visitor have to purchase the daily deal items? If they purchase something else via the Daily Deal promotional link, does that qualify as a sale and entry into the drawing?

thanks!

I wouldn't think they'd let you win posting links to your content directly from eBay though.

Hi fikse,

To qualify for the weekly $1,000 cash prizes you need to convert a sale through a Daily Deal creative on a Daily Deal item that is featured during that week's timeframe. Sales that occur for items not promoted as a Daily Deal will still earn commission, however they will not count towards qualifying for the weekly or Grand Prizes.

Also, a quick reminder to danna, as poppopmel mentions it is not permitted to place affiliate links on any eBay page including your My eBay, or links that take visitor's already on eBay to a page where affiliate links are hosted. This is referred to as roundtripping and against the TOS.

Good luck to everyone with the Daily Deal Bonus Program over the next few months! Be sure to check back here and on the registration page to see the winners. The first week's winner will be selected on or around 6/15.

Cheers!
Casey

thanks for the clarification.... is there a easier way to tell if we actually made a sale on the daily deal items? look like we would have to obtain a list of item ID's for all daily deal items, then download the transaction data and crosscheck those ID's against any sales for the campaign we setup?

thanks!

"you need to convert a sale through a Daily Deal creative on a Daily Deal item that is featured during that week's timeframe."

meaning an eBay creative? So feed users creating their own solutions are excluded?

kikse - Yes, that's currently the only way to check if you have made a Daily Deal sale. I believe we can post the item id's here each week. I'll get back to everyone on that.

linkmosaic - Remember that your Campaign ID is a 10 digit number, you can find it under the campaigns tab in your publisher interface.

webjustice - An integration using the feed still counts as an eBay Daily Deal creative, and converted Daily Deal sales will qualify. The feed and flash banners are the best options to show live deals that refresh when one sells out or the next wave comes in.

Just to confirm, I understand I can't enter the contest (outside of US) but I can still use the creatives for standard affiliate commissions correct?

Also, will these daily deal advanced banners continue to update after the contest is over or are they a limited time promo?

Thanks

Hi paul_514,

The Daily Deal banners will continue after this promotion is over, and you still earn standard Affiliate commissions. We will look at expanding to other countries if we see good success with this Bonus Program.

Thanks for promoting the Daily Deal!

Hi, I generated a 125x125 banner but the image is not found using the generated link code (HTML). Is this broken? What I did to get it to work is just copy the image and host it locally but I do beleive there is a problem with the code generator.

Keep us posted, thanks!

I think it was the server that was serving up the images. Several times they failed to display even on the page showing the banners for Daily Deal (mainly 120x90 and 125x125)

The code seems fine.

I am scared this daily deal business will affect the quality of my traffic...

I mean, if you have a site about squirrels or ipods, how likely is it the visitors will buy a daily deal digital camera, pc vacuum cleaner, etc.?

.....and how likely is it the visitor will return?

Isn't it possible to have a 'daily deals' page for every category? Would be nice! Then I would join :)
