We don’t need to go to a discount route to promote marketplaces.
Why not promote an entire category through header bar? We never done that experiment so far for a normal category – only the bundles deserve that? Envato’s logic is simple, exploit the header bar exposure only for quick money schemes like bundle – never used the same for promoting a new category etc.
Wonderful idea.

@gbs – we’re watching for any effect against normal sales very closely. The theory going into this is that these types of promotions will increase normal sales as it builds awareness around certain categories. Getting away from header bar promos should help on that front too. Looking to mainly promote via email/banners/affiliates/partners/socialWhy not promote an entire category through header bar?

How do you measure whether newly uploaded items (recent 2 weeks) are affected or not due to bundles?
It is simple – just don’t care the state of individual new items! Problem solved!

There must be other ways to promote marketplaces.
The prices are already incredibly cheap considering the quality of items.
