promotion declined

Discussion started by kremiansky

Sooo no one asked for the "pay to win" feature of promotions, since we already have been ripped by CGtrader by removing reputation and resetting the royalties rates, but sure. I tried this silly new feature of promoting, and guess what, after being pending for a while, they were all declined, with no reason specified, no email, no notification. Does anyone else experience the same issue?

30%, 50%, super 70%, all that's missing is the clown nose.
I'm a marketing professional with over 30 years of experience specializing in behavior. This exaggerated practice was common in the 80s when interest rates were compatible with this reality.
I left these promotions, tried partnering with and believing in CGTrade, but it's far from reality and even leaves an air of exploitation... I was sad. I believe that more than 70% here are young students trying to achieve a dream, selling many items in these promotions, which doesn't happen because of buying behavior, not because of the effort of CGTrade and the artists, but because of the market.
Participants in these promotions who sell something barely receive 1/4 of the value, insufficient even to cover costs. And what effort does CGTrade put in? They have already REDUCED OUR EARNINGS, in my case from 74% to 65%, and I still have to work even harder to get back to 74%? CGTRADE is already making 9% MORE and still doesn't lose anything on promotions; they continue to receive their percentage regardless of the value. And what kind of investment is that, with so much money left over for CGTRADE, when we rarely sell (at a loss) the item more than once? This is very grotesque on the part of this company. But if you think all this is rosy, go to the circus and try living happily ever after with a clown nose.

I have tested these promotions and they don´t help in sales. Reason is a weird search algorithm on CGT. Had a discussion about with CGT but they show me different search results than I see when searching for models, even if we search via "Best Results", thus "exact search", thus the only what a potential buyer is using when seraching for a SPECIFIC model. So, promotions will not override their weird search algorithm and that´s why they are pointless.

It would be better to make things better, to improve weaknesses, such as the weird search algo, as to provide new "features", that don´w properly work due to these weaknesses. Pointless.

Don´t care about the promotions anymore, it´s just eyewashing and distraction from problems on CGT.

Just noticed that my test piece "Hole where CGTraders integrity used to be" obviously put some noses out of joint... GCT just sent me 3 separate messages to say the model is suspended... No email or warning of course. They just did it. I guess I would have had no problem naming a model "CGT are fair & wonderful, with not a hint of loose morals and corrupt practices". I just noticed, said model was suspended for "Potential Copyright or trademark infringement" LOL!

I tried to test out my free model and got back (eventually) 15 fifteen... count em! replies in a row declining it saying this:-

"Unfortunately, your promotion for Hole where CGTraders integrity used to be has been declined by our moderation team. Please review our Content Policy to ensure future promotions meet the required guidelines."

I wonder if the name is the problem? Seriously CGTrader, if you are going to rip off thousands of people, then you need to expect some backlash, and at the very least grow a sense of humour.

The same situation without any reason.
Even like a test, this "improvement" doesn't work.

So far I only see that some promoted models only mess up some search results.
For example in "train" search result you can see sponsored result like medieval town.
Or in "car" search result you can see components like spark plug which is not the right thing to get when searching for "car" as whole vehicle.
In my case I did the best promotion for my models which I could do - I disabled discounts. )))
