Where vendors are going after the HiveWire store closes

[Alisa]

This is a thread to let folks know where to find our CAs after our store closes. Please post here or contact me and I will list all of the information in this first post. If you want to add more info or if someone has questions for the CAs, they can post in this thread, too.

On behalf of Chris, Lisa, Paul, and myself, we feel fortunate to have had all of the wonderful artists and customers at HiveWire over the years, and we wish you all the best wherever your art takes you!

[Janet]

Thank you Alisa! I enjoyed working with you!

I'm moving to Renderosity and will be exclusive there.

Best wishes to everyone - Chris, Paul, Lisa - and all the vendors!

 

[Sunfire]

Going to head to Renderosity as well, don't know abou exclusivity yet.

 

[pommerlis]

I loved working with you guys at Hivewire.
I'm moving to Renderosity, I still have to decide about being exclusive, don't know about that yet.

 

[Rae134]

I already have a store at Rendo so my other HW products will join them. Still not sure about going exclusive yet tho but not sure where else at the moment.

 

[Karth]

I will move what i can to my Renderosity Store

 

[Ghostman]

will merge with my store at Rendo.

 

[mininessie]

hi, my idea is to be at Renderosity too

 

[ka06059]

moving to Renderosity , here is my renderosity store

 

[Rowan54]

Merging with my Renderosity store (since 2012) as an exclusive vendor. My store is at: Rowan54's Store on Renderosity

 

[3WC]

Thanks, Alisa, it was only because I felt comfortable with the welcoming atmosphere and support here at HW that I broke into being a CA. Though I still consider myself a hobbyist mainly.

I am planning on taking the plunge and heading to Renderosity. If that goes well, who knows, maybe I will try to branch out to DAZ, Reallusion, who knows?

3W Creations (3WC) Renderosity

 

[RAMWolff]

Headed to Renderosity!

 

[Varnayrah]

I'd like to move my products to renderosity (have emailed them), since I already have some (older) products there.

 

[Ken1171]

I am also moving to Rendo. Created the store front today, and changed my user name to match my vendor name, and the contact email to be the same I have used here.

For those undecided about going exclusive, Jenn has explained to me what it means, and this is what I understood:

* We can only sell at Rendo, and this includes anything 3D, even if not present in the Rendo store.
* We get 10% more royalties over sales.
* The royalties rate can go higher if the sales go high enough.
* We become eligible to be featured in their spotlight newsletters (more exposure).
* We get more promotional options on how to sell the products, like a BOGO on new releases.
* We can get featured when releasing new products every month (more exposure).

 

[Faery_Light]

I will be moving to Renderosity as I also have a store there.
They have already changed my store name to match here in preparation for this.

 

[eclark1894]

can you have 2 links? then deactivate the HW one later?

More work.

 

[LeoLee]

I've talked to Rendo and I'm moving to there.

 

[Mirella]

Please merge with my Renderosity Store: Mirella's Store on Renderosity
Thank you

 

[Alisa]

Mirella - I sent out an email to the CAs last night with instructions on contacting Renderosity. This thread is to let the forum members know where to find our artists. Please pm or email me if you have questions .

 

[KageRyu]

It is my intent to move those products not already in my renderosity store to renderosity. I have already reached out to Renderosity about this. My vendor name will now be Baa-weep-granna-weep-ninnybon. This is a working name... I may keep my current name if this new one does not test well with audiances.
