Intro and a Little History

Alright, today is going to be a little different than our usual posts in that I’m going to explain our new affiliate program. As all of our old affiliates were informed previously that our new shopping cart, which has been in use on our site for somewhere between 8 months and a year now, could not support our old affiliate program so a new affiliate system was in the works that would hopefully be better than the old.

Well the good news is that a month ago, it was launched. I’m a little late on the blog announcement for it but I was hoping to fix any issues that may have come up before going through an explanation of the system. As of this point, we have had no complaints so I hope thats a good sign. But thats enough history, lets get to the important stuff.

What is an affiliate program?
Well, its when someone signs up on a website (like Shavonne) and gets some link code to put on their site. When someone clicks that link and comes to the website and orders, the affiliate gets a percentage.

A Detailed Look

That’s a little simplified but it gives those who were wondering an idea. Now, Shavonne offers our affiliates 15% commission on all sales that we receive from an affiliate’s site. With our new program, when someone clicks on a link from an affiliate’s site to ours, we can see if that potential customer buys anything within the next 30 days. If they do then the amount will show up in the affiliate’s monitoring page with the amount that Shavonne will pay to them.

Shavonne will only pay out once a month for affiliates choosing to be paid by PayPal and once a quarter for affiliates choosing to be paid by check. Also checks will only be written when $50 or more is pending payment to that affiliate. That does not mean that $50 has to be earned in one quarter, all pending payments will roll-over to until they are paid.

Already an affiliate with our new program?
In that case, Shavonne would like to thank you for participating and we hope it will be mutually beneficial for us. If you log into your affiliate account (right here) then the first page you will see is your pending amounts. These are broken down per order we have received from customers coming from your site and they will be paid out according to our payout schedule mentioned above. The next option in the menu is the Previous Payments which will show what amounts have been sent to you already! Then we have Edit Account so that you can update your information to keep it up-to-date. Next is the Get Link Code which is a very important section as it is the page that can generate those links that you need to place on your site for Shavonne to be able to tell where the customers are coming from! Last, of course, is the logout which will simply log you out of your affiliate section (which is always a good thing to remember to do if you are using a public computer).

To the End

Well, that was a lot and glad to say that should cover it. If there is any questions then feel free to email or comment and I’ll get those answered as soon as I can. And until the next long update post, have a Happy Holidays!

Just a few words to all our wholesale and retail customers. We had a great response to some of our new items. The comments given to us are greatly appreciated. Hope to have more in the future.

With the holidays coming we have added some new Christmas watches. You can find them on our Christmas Watch page. I also wanted to take this time to wish those who would be traveling for the Thanksgiving Holidays to have a safe trip. And for everyone else a Happy Thanksgiving.

We are trying to get all orders wholesale and retail shipped out as quickly as possible. Many are for up-coming events and we understand the need to have all orders shipped out as quickly as possible. So another Thank you all for being so understanding. We have many new clients who are just ordering from us for the first time and their response to receiving their fashion jewelry has been Great. We are thankful for all our clients. Remember to have a look at our Christmas watches. Also be watching for more new items. And check the site for any ring we have been out of stock on as we have added new stock this week.

So to everyone have a happy holiday and be safe.

It’s time to do a blog again!!! I see everyone at Shavonne has put in a huge effort to keep you informed of everything happening here. We try to cover everything from ordering to shipping and we try to offer suggestions on styles we think do very well for everyone. If there is ever anything you feel we have not covered on our blog please leave us a message/comment on here or email us. Any one of us here will be happy to leave an answer for whatever you may ask about our jewelry or company.

Now that I have that covered, let’s move on to something else. The holiday season is coming up!! I am so very excited to see all my family and friends and will be especially happy to show off some of the pieces of spectacular jewelry I have been collecting to wear since last year. I am not a big jewelry wearer but I do enjoy putting on a lovely piece of brilliance to catch the eye of anyone who wants to look. We all know that some outfits are not complete without that knockout ring or necklace. Shavonne has some very stunning rings and necklaces that you could match together.

Now I know everyone doesn’t like to wear large flashy items. Shavonne has something for everyone. We are very proud to say we carry rings in sizes 4-12 for the ladies and sizes 8-15 for the men. We also have some unisex items available in a mix of sizes. Like I said, Shavonne tries to carry the perfect fashion jewelry for everyone!

Hi guys! Hopefully you have noticed the changes we’ve been making to our site. We have the new scrolling banner that will highlight new items and top selling items. You should be able to scroll over an item and the banner stop and click the image to take you to the item page. We also have the Wholesale Account log in. Wholesalers you definitely want to sign in! We are going to start running specials (whether it’s extra discounts or free items), but you will only see the offers if you log into your account!! These specials may only run for a few days, so log in often! We have added a new search engine on your wholesale homepage for you guys to help make re-ordering easier. Please let us know how this is working for you! Also if you are a loyal retail customer, be sure to sign up for the Shavonne Newsletter at the bottom of our homepage. A lot of times we will send a Voucher code for extra discounts that are not advertised on our homepage.

If you’re looking for a specific size or color of a ring, be sure to use the FIND A RING search engine located in the top right corner of every Shavonne page. Let’s say you need a birthday gift for a friend. She wears a size 6 ring and you want the ring in her birthstone for January. But you don’t know January’s birthstone! In the search bar type SIZE 6 JANUARY. It will pull from our inventory all rings in stock in a size 6 with January’s birthstone! How awesome is that!

We are also excited to re-launch our affiliate program. I’m sure Bruce will write about that in a few days to give you all the techs, but basically you’ll need to re-sign up for it to begin receiving credit. There is a large banner on our homepage, just click on it and it will give you the sign up page.

We are continuing to work on some other ideas and programs that will hopefully help you maneuver through our site much easier. We are always open to new ideas, so if you have any questions or comments for anything on our site, PLEASE email them to us! Take care until next time!

In recent weeks we have told you about how wholesale orders are done and retail orders. I hope some of the information has been helpful in your ordering. We are fast approaching the Holidays. We have added some great new items to help in sales. Please check out the new men’s rings as well as the new earrings and necklaces. These would make some great stocking stuffers! For retail they would make great extra gifts to have for any unexpected guests. Most importantly though is to pick an item you really like that way you could always keep it for yourself if you have no one else to give it too!

But seriously we do have some great new items. Also with the holidays so close we are trying to make sure all orders are shipped as fast as we can. But we are striving to make sure they all go out correctly. So, wholesalers, if you know you have a show coming up please make sure you get your orders placed in plenty of time. With retail remember through the holidays the post office is swamped with cards and packages so it might be a little slower.

To all of you who read our blogs I thank you. If you have any questions or ideas, we welcome those. Also any suggestions you might have would be great. We try to answer all emails so feel free to email any questions. Thanks for all the feed back about our fashion jewelry.
