We began our online teddy bear shows in September 2013 and we continue to launch The Bright Star teddy bear artists shows online throughout the year . . . and now we are adding Fur Mania, Santa's Bear Land and Santa's Surprise which will be held within the framework of four online shows. |

How it works. |

Questions: |
Answers: |
||||||
| What are these special events? | Fur Mania, Santa's Bear Land and Santa's Surprise are special events within the framework of an online show where you have an opportunity to sell a bear made just for the show. The collector has a small portion of time to buy the bears shown.
On Sunday at noon (Eastern Time) the event page will be launched. It will remain open until the close of the show or until all the pieces are sold. |
||||||
| Why open at noon on Sunday? | We want to engage the collectors to return to the show. To buy special bears. Now they see them; now they don't. |
||||||
| Can I participate? | Yes, only if you are participating in the current show. | ||||||
| Is it mandatory that I participate? | No, it is up to you entirely. It is a wonderful way to introduce your bears/buds to our worldwide collectors. | ||||||
| Can I submit more than one bear for the this event? | No, send just one bear or bud only for each event. | ||||||
| When must I send the bear photo? | Send one bear/bud photo, description, price and postage fee and this is due the same date as your lead bear. | ||||||
| When do you need the photo, description, price and postage fee? |
Deadline is the same as the for the regular lead bear. | ||||||
| Will the regular show close down while Fur Mania is going? |
No, the regular show page will not close. Your framed lead bear will still have an active link to your sales page. |
||||||
| What must I do? | Over and above what you have on your sales page, you'll send 1 photo, small description, price and postage fee in a eMail. Subject line: Fur Mania or Santa's Bear Land Event Bear or Santa's Surprise |
||||||
| How is the sale handled? |
|
||||||
| How will I know if my bear has been sold? | You will receive a PayPal Confirmation of the sale which will include the address of the buyer. Please ship promptly. | ||||||
| What are the fees? | After the show closes you'll receive, in your PayPal account, the money from the bear sale, less the PayPal fees, a 60 cent service charge and commission of 18% which will be calculate on the total sale amount. Your tally sheet will show the breakdown of the fees. |
||||||
| My bear did not sell in the special event, is there still a fee? |
If your bear did not sell during the time period it was shown, then there is no charge or fee to you. |
||||||
| A collector contacted me after my bear was in the Special Event wanting to buy the bear, what do I do? |
If you sell the bear after our special event closes, then we feel it only fair that you send 18% of the sale to: SparkiesGal@aol.com We value the Honor System. |
||||||
| Can I add the bear to my sales page if it did not sell in the event? |
No. This bear is exclusive to the Fur Mania or Santa's Bear Land and Santa's Surprise events and can not be added to your online show page at this time.
You may add it to your personal web page after our show closes, or feature it in the next online show you participate in, and we suggest the bear have a complete make over and name change. |
||||||
| Will these special events be a distraction to sales? | We feel that these events will actually stimulate sales by exciting the collectors to one-of-a-kind, buy-it-now, sales. Known as a "flash sale." |
||||||
| The online show opened and I do not see the Fur Mania Event |
For the first 2 days of the regular online show, there will only be a small banner announcing the Event. Only on Sunday will the feature be seen and always appear under all the framed artists photos with the links. | ||||||
Collectors shout with joy!
|
|||||||
You make the online shows happen! |
|||||||
| Our Online Show Success | We are very happy to announce that our online shows have been successful with sales 62% to 79% of the inventory sold. | ||||||
