Our goal with opening up this new model was to reward the brands that are seeing great performance on Grommet. Everyone starts on a level playing field during launch week, with 0 upvotes and 0 sales.
During those first 7 days, every product has an opportunity to shine, to rise the charts and be discovered by millions of shoppers in Grommet's community. The better your product performs, the more Grommet, and Grommet’s partners, will promote your product to continue to send you consistent and long-term sales.
Over the course of the month you will see a blend of Organic (free) and Promoted (Rev Share) orders.
Our belief is that you want to pay Grommet our 30% rev share. Why?
If you are paying us 30% for sales, it means your product is climbing the ranks and we want to find more and more ways to put it in front of as many shoppers as we possibly can.
It means that you are acquiring customers without risking anything upfront and still being profitable on every order.
It means you now have a direct relationship with these shoppers to get them to buy from you over and over again (with no rev share on those incredibly profitable backend sales).
And every time you are featured in a promotion, you are likely receiving more upvotes and sales, pushing you back up higher and higher on the trending feed - which will result in more organic sales, which are those free sales we all want!
