10/14: Celebrate New Partnership with Flip Mino Design Contest

Help Celebrate A Fun New Partnership. Enter Our Flip Mino Camcorder Design Contest!
CafePress is thrilled to announce a branded partnership with Pure Digital Technologies — makers of the wildly-popular Flip Mino Camcorders. By teaming up together, video lovers can now take their movie-making creativity one step further by customizing their Flip Mino camcorders. How fun is that?
To kick-off the branded partnership, we’re having a Flip Mino Design Contest for the CafePress Community. Simply create a design and enter the contest, and you could win a Flip Mino with your design on it. For more info, see our Contest Details.

FAQs

What is the partnership with Pure Digital Technologies?
Pure Digital Technologies is offering a way for their customers to customize the Flip Mino with CafePress hosting the shop and managing the production end of the customized Flip Minos. What’s more, some Shopkeepers may get their designed Flips featured on the
Flip site. These lucky Shopkeepers will get a royalty for all sales from the Flip site. If selected, you will be contacted with specifics.

Can I sell the Flip Mino from my shop?
Yes. With this branded partnership, in your shop you can sell Flip Minos with your designs on them. If you think the Flip Mino is a good fit for your shop, we suggest a retail price of $179.99
(Base Price is $169.99). As a branded partnership — and not the typical merchandise launch — sales of the Flip Mino will be excluded from the following: Bulk Service discount, Shop Performance, Shopkeeper Sale, Affiliates, and select CafePress coupons.
If I want to sell the Flip Mino in my shop, why is the suggested retail price $179.99?
Typically, pricing of electronic goods has less wiggle room, and the suggested retail price of $179.99 has been set by the makers of the Flip Mino.
What is the return policy for the Flip Mino?
As this is a branded partnership, the return policy for the Flip Mino is different than CafePress’ return policy. Returns are subject to a $55 restocking fee. The return policy will be communicated on the Flip Mino product page, so customers are aware.

Can I enter the Flip Mino Design Contest without offering the Flip Mino for sale on my shop or the CafePress Marketplace?
Yes. You will need to tag your design with the contest Tag. But if you don’t want to offer the Flip Mino for sale, simply put it in a hidden section so it won’t show up in your shop or the CafePress Marketplace.

Is there a design tool available for designing the Flip Mino?
Shopkeepers will be able to use a Flip Mino product design template. There will be a tool available for Create & Buy in a few weeks that will allow users to rotate, scale, and position.
