POWERFUL MARKETING SYSTEM
We all know that nothing compares to actually experiencing the value of an item for yourself. That's why we offer a 25-pack of ECommergy Day Passes for just $4.25. Hand out these day passes to prospective subscribers* so they can explore ECommergy for themselves and see all it has to offer—without any cost or obligation—before deciding if a subscription is right for them. This powerful, no-pressure way to generate new subscriptions is a great way for you to grow lucrative commissions month after month after month!
You can either award your digital free passes automatically through your ECommergy Gateway or send passes directly to specific friends, family members, and others via their email addresses (See easy instructions HERE).
In short, an ECommergy subscription can truly be invaluable for your success. But signing up ECommergy subscribers also feels great, because you're helping fellow entrepreneurs succeed too!
* ECommergy free day passes cannot be given to your PSAs or other SFI Affiliates. However, you CAN purchase ECommergy gift passes for your PSAs via your SFI Gift Fund Manager.
Managing Your Day Passes
Available to SFI Affiliates who are ECommergy subscribers, a special ECommergy gateway allows affiliates to give out free trial subscriptions. Your specific ECommergy URL is:
http://www.sfi4.com/~SFIID~/trialsub
You can also access your ECommergy Day Pass Manager to manage your free passes:
1. Go to your Day Pass Manager.
2. Submit the email address of your prospect (that's all we need!).
3. Choose to give them either a 1-, 5-, 10-, or 30-day passes.
4. Click Submit.
That's it, you don't have to do anything else! We'll immediately send your prospect a welcome email with the information they need to access ECommergy immediately. We'll, of course, also mention that the free trial subscription they've received is courtesy of you! Then, as mentioned earlier, over the coming days, a series of emails will be sent to them–friendly reminders about the great benefits of ECommergy and about extending their access with a paid subscription.
Your balance of your passes is maintained here too so you'll always know how many you have available to give out, who currently is benefitting from your generosity, and when their passes expire. Note too that you can recycle your passes during the month as they come up for expiration.
Example: On April 5th you award Joe a 10-day pass. On April 16th, those ten days worth of day passes are returned to your account to distribute to another prospect.
Do note, however; with the exception of those passes that overlap months, your passes do NOT "roll over" each month.
Example: It's April 25th and you give someone a 10-day pass. We'll honor that pass for your prospect, five days into the new month of May, even though it was from your April stock of day passes, but then it will no longer be available.

Q: When did ECommergy make its official debut?
ECommergy was launched on April 1st, 2019.
Q: How do I change my existing Auto-Delivery order to an ECommergy subscription?
Just click here to see a listing at TripleClicks of the ECommergy subscription and day pass options. Click the one you want, then select the Add To Cart button and follow the check out procedure.
Q: How do you pronounce ECommergy?
Think of how "e-comm" in the word ecommerce is pronounced...then just add "er-gee" to the end. So, "ee-COMM-er-gee."
Q: Can't I get much of what's in ECommergy by just finding it online?
For some of the content, yes, but articles in the ECommergy directory are hand-selected by experienced members of the ecommerce industry. And without a subscription to ECommergy, you'll completely miss out on our exclusive content, programs, and features. Just $.33 a day (less than $10 a month) for access to content that could explode your growth and earnings is an outstanding deal.
Q: Will PRMs who purchase an ECommergy subscription be solicited to join SFI under me?
No, that is not the role of ECommergy. That is, ECommergy is not a "trojan horse" or a stealth method of recruiting SFI affiliates. If you want to recruit PSAs, market SFI, not ECommergy.
Q: Is a product that is a subscription better?
Historically, the subscription model is responsible for some of the largest ongoing, revenue streams for companies ever (e.g. Apple, Spotify, YouTube). We've also had subscription products in the past that were very successful. The key is that you often put the same effort into selling a product that's purchased once (and earning you a commission ONCE)...versus a subscription that can represent a sale that keeps generating commissions for you for months and even years to come!
Q: Is there anything excluded for the day passes?
Essentially, no. Persons who receive access to ECommergy via a day pass get full access to all content. They cannot, however, create content (e.g. post on the forum).
Q: So if I have a subscription and a supply of day passes to give away, when will my recipients have access to ECommergy content?
Once you enter a person's email address for a free trial subscription, they'll have access immediately. In a very real way, YOU will be be fulfilling orders now! Fulfillment can happen as fast as you can type your prospect's email address!
Q: If I were talking to a friend or coworker about ECommergy, could I give them immediate access to ECommergy (via a day pass) from my phone?
Yes. The system is fully mobile-friendly. So you have the ability to hand out day passes instantly...and everywhere you go, too!
Q: Can I give the same person a free day pass more than one time?
No, the limit is once.
Q: What if I provide day pass access to a friend who then decides to join SFI under me?
That's fine. And because joining SFI shows they have a clear interest in building a successful ecommerce business, they'll be an excellent candidate for an ongoing, monthly subscription.
Q: Is giving out free samples an effective marketing strategy?
Throughout the history of marketing, free samples are one of THE most proven methods for attracting customers and generating sales.
Q: How exactly do I go about about giving a prospect a free trial subscription to ECommergy?
First, of course, you need to have a subscription yourself. Assuming you have this, you need only to promote ECommergy and say, "Ask me for a free trial subscription!" Get their email address and enter it at the Day Pass Manager along with the day pass you want to give them. Special note: If you're offering 1-day or 5-day passes, feel free to advertise a "no obligation free trial subscription." If you're specifically offering a 10-day pass or 30-day pass, we recommend you do NOT include the "no obligation" verbiage. Why? Because with the 10-day and 30-day passes, the prospect will be required to submit credit/debit card (or PayPal) info to receive access. Now, that does not mean they'll be charged anything; they can cancel anytime before their free trial ends to avoid be charged, but we'd prefer that our customers never feel mislead in any way!
Q: Are local businesses good prospects for ECommergy?
Yes, they are among the very best prospects in fact...because they're already in business and likely know, at least subconsciously, that they need to incorporate more ecommerce. A subscription to ECommergy is "just what the doctor ordered" for them!
Q: How about restaurants? Do they need ECommergy?
Yes, it's an internet world we live in now and virtually every business needs to implement at least some forms of ecommerce (e.g. social media marketing) if they want to flourish and not be squeezed out by other businesses actively using ecommerce. We even are creating special fliers for restaurants. Download one, make photocopies, and be sure you leave one with your payment/tip whenever you dine out. You will absolutely attract subscribers if you do this consistently.
Q: If a prospective subscriber said to me, "Why should I subscribe?," how should I answer?
Here are some ideas:
- Trying to figure out how to get started in ecommerce without the assistance of experts is just asking for pain and frustration! "Reinventing the wheel" is crazy when you can go from zero to 60 in no time with ECommergy's experts and curated content showing you the way.
- $9.97 a month is just $.33 a day. Just one idea from ECommergy put into practice could be worth thousands of dollars in extra income every year. The modest cost of a subscription shouldn't even be a consideration for anyone serious about building a successful business...of any kind.
- If your prospect has a retail business, you might refer them to articles like www.practicalecommerce.com/4-Reasons-Small-Brick-and-mortar-Retailers-Need-an-Online-Store and www.softwareadvice.com/resources/why-every-retailer-needs-ecommerce/ .
Q: Will there be a mobile app for ECommergy for mobile devices?
We will certainly be exploring this possibility. In the meantime, ECommergy.com has been built to be fully mobile-friendly and should work great on all mobile devices.
Q: Who are the best prospects for ECommergy?
We believe small, locally-owned business are prime prospects because they are everywhere, are easily accessed, and already have a business and are probably willing to invest in solutions for growing their business (i.e. a subscription to ECommergy so they can grow their business by expanding into ecommerce). And then there are of course many, many millions of people who would love to have an internet business to make extra money with. They're good prospects, too.
Q: How would I market ECommergy to, say, a person I meet at a social gathering?
In addition to various marketing aids (cards, fliers, etc.), you could also market with just a few words. For example, ask someone what they do for a living. When they ask you what YOU do, you could tell them that you're a representative for ECommergy.com, a site that helps people build ecommerce businesses. Perhaps mention that $4 TRILLION in online sales was projected for 2020 alone, so it's a huge growing industry. If they show any interest at all, tell them that, as a representative, you can comp them a free trial subscription for X days. Then just get their email address so you can enter it when you get home. And if you really want to impress them, consider fulfilling their trial subscription on the spot from your smartphone. Note: Don't mention SFI or the SFI business opportunity at this time, as it will just complicate matters and quite possibly cause the person to reject your offer for a free trial subscription for fear of being hounded about a business opportunity.
Q: So I've got the email address of the prospect. Should I follow up with them after I've given them their free trial subscription?
First, remember that the act of entering their email address into the Day Pass Manager already automatically launches a professional, customized follow-up autoresponder series we've created, so a follow-up by you is not required (we're taking care of that for you). However, depending on your relationship with the person, you may want to send a quick follow-up to see how they're liking ECommergy after a few days. At some point, perhaps, SFI could be brought up to them, too...but we recommend that you hold off until we've developed a formal system and a training guide for this. Sending unsolicited emails is the definition of spam, especially emails about business opportunities, so it's VITAL that you follow our guidelines or you can risk losing your internet account, being fined, and more.
