Sponsored Assignments (no more 'Surprise Me' assignments)

Gary Gary
Hello Everyone!

As most of you already know there are a lot of changes taking place, and this week the most significant of these changes is the end of the old ‘Surprise Me’ assignments and the beginning of the new sponsored assignments.

‘Surprise Me’ assignments will no longer be processed. Surprise me buttons will no longer do anything, and will eventually be completely removed during a future update. From now on, ALL review will be sponsored reviews.

A review that is sponsored by Eden Fantasys, will work exactly like a regular assigned review. You may only request one review assignment every 30 days that is sponsored by Eden Fantasys.

What used to be called a ‘Surprise Me’ review will now also be called a sponsored review. The only difference here is that these reviews will NOT be sponsored by Eden Fantasys, but by another company. When you request a review assignment that is NOT sponsored by Eden Fantasys, it will not count towards your - one request every 30 days limit.

The ability for you to request sponsored review assignments is now functioning! A few of these have even been assigned already. You will be able to use the product search in your contributor account to find what products are available. All (non Eden Fantasys) sponsored products are available in limited quantities and will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. So if your request is declined, that means that some one else already requested it.

Eventually there will a listing made available, as we add new outside sponsored products, but for now you will be able to find all of them in your product search.

That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head, but feel free to email me if you have any questions at partners(at)edenfantasys(dot)com. And thank you all for being so patient!

I think I may be doing something wrong.
I go to Product Search, select "Without Reviews", no product name, General Type "none", Sponsored by "Any Company" and I'm still getting the same $0.00 items that have been there for days: the om G-spot stimulators and the Lil gum drops butt plugs... nothing else before it shows Eden-sponsored items (DVDs and such).
If I select a company in the "Sponsored by" section, I get a "No products were found." message on all of them except Williams Trading Company, which gives me the same items I mentioned above plus two or three small vibes. What am I doing wrong? Or is that all that's available right now?

I requested a sponsored assignment, and it was approved. But now it is acting like a regular assignment. I got a "You may not submit new assignment until you write reviews for previous assignments." error.

My monthly assignment shouldn't even be open yet, and all of my previous assignments are finished..

I understand the new update, I think. The only trouble that I have had is finding a product to review. I see the same couple new toys others are seeing, the G thing and the gum drop plugs, which I'm sure more than one person has requested by now. So when I go to product search and select "with reviews" many more products appear that I have never seen on the product search page before.

Are those items ones that get assigned to reviewers before being put in the product search, or am I just slow at finding one? I wouldn't doubt the latter.

Just like when Victoria used to list the products every so often on the forum, I'm sure the new system is only going to list so many at a time.

Oh, I see what you mean. Selecting "with reviews" gives more items that are available under the different sponsors that aren't EF. But they have prices by them, so I am wondering if that is really a product sponsored by that company or by EF. Now I'm confused

The only products that are currently available are from Williams, until the next batch arrives. These products were already in the system. These are the same items that you have been able to see and not select for the last few days. (There will be lots more!)

For those of you that are still having an issue with the limit, please send me an email. I personally already have review assignments out, and I was able to request these same Williams products onto my account with no problems. So I am not sure why it would let some of you, and not others.

Send me an email at partners(at)edenfantasys(dot)com and I will try to help you figure it out. Everyone has left the office for the day, so this will have to carry over until tomorrow. (Sorry!)

The batches seem to come out about once a week, or so I've noticed

Hmm, spoke too soon, so when it says "cancelled by admin" ? Instead of the red lettering upon request?

That's my point though, they already have reviews so they wouldn't be available. Haha, we're all so lost. I think I give up for now, I haven't got a clue!

To request, please go to the product search area of your contributor account. Clear all search fields.

Now, in the 'Sponsored By' drop down menu, select 'Williams Trading Co' (as the current sponsored items are all by Williams).

Next, in the ‘Review Presence’ drop down menu, select ‘Without reviews’

Now, you should see 9 items. This is the current listing.

(the following items have already been taken)
omG G-Spot stimulator - DJ564703
omG G-Spot stimulator - DJ564702
Teardrop - DJ167401
Burning Passion - DJ781401
Li'l Gumdrops Droplet - DJ024214

Ah, changes...so hard to make sometimes!

I personally am *glad* to see there is now one system for ALL reviews - one system to rule them all!

one system to find them, one system to bring them all and in the darkness bind them? heh, I dont know where that Lord of the Rings quote came from, but that is what my brain supplied. ^-^

So, when things become "taken," will they be removed from the list to reduce confusion, or will they kind of float about at $0.00 until the actual review is up?

Nice. One question - If I'm reading this right, the sponsored reviews now take the place of the description reviews. I try to write the description reviews a bit differently, since I know that parts will become the description of the toy. Will there be a way to indicate whether a sponsored review will do the same thing (i.e. the summary/pros/cons become the description), or whether it's a "regular" review?

For now, yes, they will remain on the list after an item is "taken".

'Description' reviews, and 'Sponsored' reviews are separate. No changes have been made regarding Description reviews.

Hm, I'm not sure why, but it still won't let me request them. I've only got one review out, but it says I have to write my reviews before I can request. Odd...

Validation rule "You may not submit new assignment until you write reviews for previous assignments" is still in place. It means that you have to write a review for all uncompleted assignments first before requesting new ones.

Validation rule "Your last free assignment was submitted on 11/16/2009(example!), you will be eligible for next free assignment starting from 12/01/2009(example!)" means that you can request only one toy that is sponsored by EdenFantasys each 30 days. You may still request toys that are sponsored by other companies while they are available during the same period.
