$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

We're looking into the issues you've reported with the banners, but everything looks all right with them displaying properly today.

utrecht1976 - the great thing about the Daily Deals is there are 4 at a time that cover many categories and refresh throughout the day if items sell out or get replaced with fresh deals. You never know what type of product might spark a visitor on your page to make an impulse buy. Especially at these prices with Free Shipping. That's why it's really not necessary the deals always match your niche. I'd encourage you to give it a shot.

The problem I have with it is the 4 sellers offering the 4 deals right now have 193 negatives in the last 30 days.

Buy.com, Tigerdirect, egameuniverse, and Smartbargains are some of the largest most trusted sellers on eBay and the internet.

I see one sale came in through the Daily Deal promotion, item #200339980441, "POWERSTEP PINNACLE ORTHOTIC INSOLE"

Deal or No Deal? :)

A list of Daily Deal items would help, that way we know if we even qualify for the drawing.

thanks!

OK, made a Daily Deal campaign and entered. One question though, I had to fill in 1 to 6 URLs, but I have targeted the Daily Deal banner to all my US links, over hundreds.

....but my customID is variable, so I can monitor which search queries trigger Daily Deals.

I couldn't fill in my phonenumber though... is it because I live outside the US? oh well, I'll just see what happens ;)

Nothing in the contest as - 'open to legal residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia'

Still will get regular commissions.

That's out of more than 52,000 feedbacks or less than 0.35%.

Also some of them like a lot of negatives probably not justified. Like the lady that bought jeans in an auction 5-21 and probably got the free shipping (2-3 days was 16.95) and neg the seller on the 28th for slow shipping. States in the auction 6-9 business days.

Yesterday I put the 125x125 banner on my site and got 3 clicks out of 1000 impressions, so today I will try the 300x250 flash banner with daily deal info, will see how that one works.

I signed up for the contest, checked out the banners and need a different size. I was going to use the 120 by 600 but it's just a wast of space only displaying one daily deal item. I need epn to please create a 120 by 240 advanced banner for my sidebar because its all I have room for. If you create this for me I will give it 50,000 impressions a day to see what happens.

how about that... again 3 clicks with 1000 impressions, but one bid -> winning bid :)

....but I realize I don't know if it's a winning bid on a daily deal....

captains_treasure - We're looking into creating the 120x240 banner as you've requested. It sure would be small though. Maybe give the 120x600 a shot in the meantime.

utrecht1976 - thanks for sharing some of your results. We will post the Daily Deal Item ID's list each week so you can check to see if you converted any Daily Deal sales.

The current odds to win this week if you enter and generate 1 Daily Deal sale are looking really good. Surprisingly not too many publishers have entered yet...

If you think that 120 by 240 looks to small it can be 120 by 300 and fit fine.

Isn't it possible to have a 'daily deals' page for every category?

This would be great.

I have never (repeat, never) sold anything from eBay which was outside of my genre.

Amazon ... a lot. eBay ... never.

I just uploaded a trial on this for a couple pages. So far over 200 impressions and no clicks ... but we will see.

ok I posted the 120 by 600 advanced banner and made my pages a bit longer. Looks like some good daily deals today.
