SFI STORE UPDATE

For our many affiliates anxiously awaiting the unveiling of the new SFI store (and for brand new affiliates who may not have heard about the coming new store), we've set up this new Website for you, which we will be updating for you regularly until the launch.


PLANNED FEATURES:

ONE store for everything. The new store will service both SFI affiliates and retail customers alike. Everything from nutritional products to Internet services to SFI promotional materials.

Thousands (soon tens of thousands) of new products in dozens of new categories, plus closeouts, collectables and hard-to-find items available nowhere else.

Earn instant SVP on EVERY product in the store...including all SFI promotional materials like X-Cards, postcards, business cards, etc.

Exclusive, money-saving daily deals ("Deal Of The Day").

Special weekly/monthly sales with special discount prices.

New products added daily.

You can promote the store as a whole, or any individual product in the store, or any department, or any selection of products of your choosing.

No longer do high shipping costs need to get in the way of becoming EA or making sales internationally. This is because the new SFI store will be utilizing new partner companies who will be shipping to you directly from outlets around the world. Additionally, through the store's Private Seller program, you can locate sellers and products located in your same countryeven the same city!

Because of how it's being built, virtually anything can be added and sold in the store. Goods, services, downloadable software and media, you name it! The sky's the limit!

The new SFI store also allows you to sell YOUR stuff. Through the new store's Private Seller program you can quickly, easily, and cheaply convert stuff you no longer want or need...into stuff you do! List your stuff at the new store, and sell for cash....or for any product in the store. You can even earn EA status each month selling unwanted items around your house! Use the new SFI store as your online garage sale to clean out your closets, attics and garages! List and sell dozens or even hundreds of miscellaneous items easily.

Hot, new marketing program will allow you to easily generate lifetime retail customers by the hundreds! And earning EA status though retail sales will have never been simpler or easier!

Standing Orders, on thousands of products, will be available both to affiliates AND retail customers. When an affiliate or customer places an order containing any Standing Order-Eligible product, they'll automatically be alerted how to set up a Standing Order for that item in seconds.

More payment options.

Product shipment tracking.

Express Checkout feature allows you to make purchases in seconds.

Wishlists

Store multiple shipping addresses and multiple payment methods --which can be instantly accessed via pulldown menus during checkout.

Seamless integration with VeryVIP. If you are a VeryVIP subscriber, you'll have powerful additional tools to promote the new store and generate customers.

One-click sitewide currency conversions for 17 major world currencies.

Generate customers with FREE SAMPLES program (hand out free samples to create new customers).

Pay for any store purchase with your SFI commissions and/or earnings from your own Private Seller sales at the new store.

Standard and expedited shipping options

FAQs:

When will the new store be launched?
As of 9/1/08 there is still MUCH to do and it's impossible to foresee every potential "speedbump" that could come up between now and the launch date as it's not only our editors, designers and programmers involved, but also other software companies, banks, payment processors, shipping companies, etc. Therefore, it would not be wise for us to give out an exact date. There are just simply too many things that COULD cause us to miss the date. However, our hope is that we can unveil everything on November 1st, but that is only an estimate and could change.

Why is it taking so long to launch?
Since beginning this project several months ago, the scope has grown enormously. What started as "just a new e-commerce store" has become something that will be seamlessly integrated directly or indirectly into every aspect of SFI. And what's key here is that doing so closes a number of "holes" in the overall SFI program.

That is to say that we expect this project to have potentially explosive positive impacts on registrations, opt-in rates, shipping costs, EA upgrades, and much more. All those things you've been wanting to see out of SFI...we believe are now within our reach...thanks to this project.

Of course, making all this goodness happen has added some time to the project. Also, we definitely want to have everything carefully tested before we launch so that the growth explosion we anticipate can begin immediately upon the launch. We sincerely appreciate everyone's patience; when we launch we are certain you will agree that it was worth the wait.

What is this new store?
In short, the new store will be unlike anything you've seen before at SFI: a state-of-the-art e-commerce community FULLY integrated with the SFI system, opening up earning opportunities as never before possible for affiliates around the world! Thousands of products in the following categories will line its virtual shelves--Apparel & Jewelry; Books; Business; Computers; Electronics; Food & Beverage; Gifts & Flowers; Health & Wellness; Home & Garden; Magazines; Movies, Music & Games; Personal Care; Pet Care; Sports & Outdoors; Tools & Automotive; Toys, and Kids & Baby. Plus, you can sell your own unwanted items at the new store for cash, or trade for products you want. With its greatly expanded scope and featuring a multitude of great new features, the new store is "light years ahead" of any previous SFI store.

Can others (non-SFI Affiliates) sell THEIR unwanted items at the new store, too?
Yes.

If I tell non-affiliates about the new store and they start listing their items for sale on the store, will I earn commissions on their listings?
Yes!

Will there be more 10 SVP (EA-qualifying) products in the new store?
Yes, there will be HUNDREDS of great new 10 SVP choices for your own purchases and/or sale to customers.
