As I am sure you are noticing, we are having a lot of big changes with our merchants right now. Some we have had to remove because they have set our commissions to zero (like Target). Others are not paying us for up to 4 months of the date of the sales (Kohls, Gap, Old Navy). Some are lowering our commissions to just 1% or 2%.
What are we doing during this time to keep SR running? Lots!
First, we are continuing to add new merchants so that we have more places for you to shop, not less. I know we are removing some big brands, but we are adding big brands (and small) as well.
Second, we are looking for more free offers, surveys, etc. where you can earn rewards and we can earn revenue as well. Even little things like the "featured" offers at the top of the Daily Deal email will help us diversify our revenue.
Third, we are running contests to drive new memberships. The more members we have, the easier it is for us to "keep the lights on" and we know people are looking to save money and earn money online right now.
What can YOU do to help us? Simple....just stay loyal.
Even if you aren't shopping online right now, you can tell a friend or try a survey. We have been in business too long (And have seen too many changes!) to let this be what takes us down. SR has weathered so many changes in the reward industry over the year and this will just be one more thing for us to figure out.
