What is 5DayDeal all about?

What is a bundle sales event?

5DayDeal is the first, largest, and most generous bundle company in the world!

Each year, we bring together the best and most well-known instructors for one 5 day digital event. For those 5 days, we put together an amazing bundle of products that provides incredible value to your fans.

How? Because these products would normally cost $3000+ to purchase individually, and we sell it to your fans for less than $100! We pay the highest commissions of anyone in this genre and in fact we’ve paid out more than $20M to our partners from these events.

Previous Sponsors for 5DayDeal®

Who have we partnered with?

We work with seasoned companies, publishers, influencers and educators with large audiences to create digital bundles of high-quality products that generate massive revenue for partners and raise a large amount for charity during our five-day events.

We think you could be a great partner for our event. We have partnered with industry-leading companies such as Adobe, SmugMug, Joby, and Peak Design, and many others. We would love to talk to you about joining these ranks!

Have a look at our website ( 5daydeal.com ) for a list of past partners and sponsors.

Our events serve as a fundraiser.

With the start of each new event, our favorite part is watching the Charity Bar tick upward toward our goal. A percentage of every purchase is donated and in 2023 we hit a milestone of over $3 million being given away to deserving organizations since our inception in 2014. Our partners help create a picture of a brighter world. We are immensely grateful.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for Contributing Partners that understand their audience and digital marketing. You can earn up to 60% of every main bundle sold through your link.

We typically see 7,000 - 20,000+ customers during our 5 day events. Since 2014, we’ve paid more than $20,000,000 to partners. Each year we have partners who make 6 figures during our 5-day event.

Partner Preview

During the Partner Preview, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Review the site before it goes live to experience exactly what your audience will see.
  • Make a test purchase to confirm your link tracking is working properly.
  • Get a first look at this year’s bundle contents.

You’ll also receive optional promotional materials, including graphics and swipe copy for emails and social media posts, as well as access to your dashboard to track your commissions.

Minimum Product Value

Our bundles can have a retail value as high as $186, so we recommend submitting a product (or products) with a combined retail value of at least $150 to help make the bundle a no brainer to your fans.

Why? This allows you to share with your audience that your product, valued at $150 (for example), is included in a bundle alongside $3,000+ worth of resources—for just $98! And for the next 5 days only, making it an irresistible, “No-Brainer” deal.

Gauranteed $555 - $1,000 Payout

We believe in the success of our partners, which is why we offer a Guaranteed Payout of $555 – $1,000. Here’s how it works:

  • If your earned commission is less than $555–$1,000, we’ll pay you the guaranteed amount.
  • If your earned commission exceeds $555–$1,000, you’ll receive the full commission amount instead.

It’s a win-win! You’re guaranteed to earn a minimum payout, with no cap on how much you can make.

*Minimum Promotion Requirements must be met to qualify.

Promotion Requirements

During the sale, we require all partners to promote to their audience via email and social media posts. The limited-time availability of our deeply discounted, curated bundles makes for an exciting sales event, and the only way for you to earn your commissions from the event is to promote it to your audience.

Minimum Requirement:
3 Social media posts & 3 Email/newsletter sends

  • Email & Social Media Posts #1 - Within 12 hours of the sale launch.
  • Email & Social Media Posts #2 - On day 3 of the sale.
  • Email & Social Media Posts #3 - Between 36 &  24 hours before the close of the sale.

We provide (Optional) graphics and swipe copy you can use for emails and social media posts so that your content can be pre- scheduled ahead of time. We know you have a busy schedule and we want to make this as easy as possible for you!

Our top-earning partners—those making six figures—go above and beyond the minimum requirements.
Here are some proven strategies they’ve used to achieve success:

Strategies

Holistic Approach

We have seen many partners promote the sale only via email or only one email and IG, but not on YouTube and Facebook. Anytime a partner only uses one, two or a percentage of their outreach Channels less than 100% we see results that are not so good. Customers usually follow partners on multiple platforms and if a partner is promoting on one, but not the others then:

  • Customers may not see the message enough to be interested
  • Customers may feel like the partner is not 100% sold out on the value and worth of the offer

Promote where the eyeballs are

We have seen partners have the most success when they not only promote on all platforms but give special attention and care to promote where they have the most eyeballs. If your website is super popular, add a welcome mat during the sale promoting the bundle with a video from your YouTube Channel going over why you think your audience will love the bundle with a button to check it out via your affiliate link. At the same time, maybe have 1 - 2 pinned blog posts about the bundle that cover different angles on it. Examples could be "Top 5 Product Picks from 5DayDeal", "Top 10 FAQs Answered About 5DayDeal", "Review of [Product Name Here] From 5DayDeal Bundle", etc. We had one partner with a popular blog who would do reviews on the product he liked the most in the bundle for the weeks leading up to the bundle release and then release one review per day during the sale. Post sale he would convert those links to affiliate links for the same products so he made good money during the sale and then made good money post sale via affiliate commissions.

Bonuses

If you have a digital product or some kind or even exclusive content or a discount, maybe look at offering that to your subscribers as an incentive. As an exclusive partner you will get the name and email of anyone who purchases via your link. You can let your followers know that within a few weeks of the end of the sale you will send that bonus or discount to anyone who purchased the bundle via your link.

Share Your Experience & Highlight The Impact

If you have a more personal brand or if many of your visitors know you as the founder/owner then it could be good to try sharing some of your personal favorites from the bundle on IG reels, YT Shorts, TikTok, etc.

Fans connect with people more than brands so having a personal touch can really help with your performance and impact.

One thing that makes 5DayDeal different and special from most of the rest of the industry from what we have seen is the charity aspect and impact as well percentage donated from each sale.

Since 2014 we have been able to donate more than $3,000,000 to Charity while also paying more than $20,000,000 to partners. You can see the the charities we have supported and share the charity you are most excited about receiving a big check post sale.

Some partners donate 10% - 100% of their own commissions from our sales to charity and use our sale as a way to give back. This is not the right fit for all partners, but could be something to consider.

It can also be good to highlight how 5DayDeal not only helps support charity but also the creative photo and video communities by partnering with amazing partners and paying them generously for their impact while also providing amazing education to hundreds of thousands worldwide.

FAQs:

Can I still sell my product(s) that I contribute to the bundle?
Open/Close Toggle

Yes, absolutely!

Our contract is designed to ensure that the product you submit to the bundle isn’t promoted at a discounted price (lower than the retail value listed in the bundle) within 30 days before the bundle starts—outside of the bundle.

This guideline helps maximize impact and conversions for everyone during the sale and avoids cannibalizing your potential sales before the event.

You’re free to continue running your standard ads and selling on your site; we just ask that the price remains the same as the listed retail value in the bundle during this period.

Our goal is your success, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!

What if I want to participate but don't have/ want to give a product currently?

What is the budget?
Why we only pay based on performance
Open/Close Toggle

We have our Partner setup and pay very fairly based on a percentage of actual sales performance and impact vs just reach/eyeballs. This is a unique event and we are the first, most generous, and largest photography bundle company in the world, so sales and impact from partners reflects that and our partners reap the rewards they earn - many times to their excitement and surprise as far as the final payout amounts.

This has worked out far better for partners who are able to make an impact. We have had partners in the past ask us to pay them a flat rate to promote. One YouTube Influencer had asked us to pay them a flat $5,000 to promote a previous sale and we declined but offered them an affiliate link in case they wanted to do their own promotions for unlimited revenue potential. In the end they promoted well and made around $13,000 from promoting via their link instead of the flat $5,000 they would have made if we had pre-paid them.

Bonus items and requirements
Open/Close Toggle

If you promise your own referral customers a privately distributed bonus product, please adhere to the following requirements:

  • You must clearly communicate the bonus distribution time frame to your subscribers, and please make it clear that they need to contact you, not us, to redeem it.
  • The bonus $ value must not exceed the main bundle price.
  • You will need to email 5DayDeal a copy of your Bonus offering—including details on how it will be distributed—no later than fourteen (14) days before the pre-sale. 5DayDeal reserves the right to distribute your bonus offering to ensure a seamless customer experience should any issues arise.
  • You will provide the bonus to anyone who requests it and has also purchased the bundle through your Affiliate URL.
  • Your bonus offering should be a Download Product or Registered/Coded Product, not a discount/refund transaction. The bundle is already heavily discounted, so rebates detract from the value of your sale and the bundle event as a whole. Please note: Digital Gift Cards for your own store/products valued at $98 or lower are accepted as a bonus offer.
  • You may limit the number of physical bonuses you offer (i.e., t-shirts, books, etc.); however, all eligible recipients (as outlined above) must be provided equal opportunity to receive those limited items.

NOTE: Please be generous with your bonus for the best customer experience. Occasionally, you may have someone who did not come via your link ask for your bonus. In this case, we would ask that—for good customer service and overall 5DayDeal experience—you give them the same bonus. This is typically only a handful of people who are either confused about whose link they clicked or are trying to game the system, but we want them to be happy either way if possible.

What if I have a new/never launched product? Or am planning my own product launch at the time of the event? 
Launch with us!
Open/Close Toggle

Consider launching with us! You would release the new product to your audience at the same time we launch.

We have seen partners have great success with this process as their audience is amped about the new product along with the entire bundle they receive when purchasing the 5DayDeal bundle through their link.

Product Submission Quality
Best Practices
Open/Close Toggle

We aim to deliver exceptional value to our customers by including a diverse range of high-quality products in our bundles. Each submitted product is carefully reviewed based on the following criteria:

Production Quality:
High-quality audio, clear lighting, and professional video production.

Content Quality:
Practical, actionable training with valuable tips and techniques that meet or exceed industry standards.

Content Length & Efficiency:
-
Training that is clear, concise, and easy to understand.
- Long enough to justify the retail value, but not needlessly lengthy.

Retail Value:
The retail price should align with the product’s actual value—not too high or too low.

These guidelines help ensure the bundle is packed with meaningful, valuable resources for our customers while maintaining the high standards they’ve come to expect.
