Designer Circle ProgramTeleport Hub
Introduction

Designer Circle Program is a program that allows you (store owners and designers) to market your products in our inworld Second Life Group: TeleportHub.com [click here for group link]. Currently, we have more than 33000+ members in our group. Our group members are 100% real people who paid a small group fee to join as members. There are several rules and requirements that you have to follow in order to join this program and maintain your designer status.

Notes: This is our designer group and program. Event owners are not allowed to join this program. Event owners need to join our SL.Events group instead. Please click [ here ] to view SL.Events group information

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Your business needs to meet requirement #1 before you can request for an invitation or submit your application (an invitation is needed to apply)

1. Your business needs to have a minimum 25 different products at your inworld store and marketplace. Product quality must be decent [1*]. No affiliate business, no gacha reselling business, no full perm texture creation for template mesh business, and no business in a box will be allowed. Your products can be original designs & mesh OR original texture designs using full perm templates. In general, you must build / design / sell your own products.

2. Display our Teleport Hub Logo & Group Inviter at your main store at all time in order to register & maintain your designer status.

3. Offer minimum one (1) exclusive group gift to Teleport Hub’s group members at all time in order to maintain your designer status. Exclusive group gift offer must follow our rules & guidelines [2*]. We recommend using our provided group gift vendor in the affiliation package. It is all in one, light weight, and only 1 Land Impact. However, you can use own group gift vendor and set to TeleportHub.com group for your store decoration purpose. In this case, please rez a Teleport Hub logo & group inviter next to the exclusive group gift.

** Please note that if you fail to honor those requirements above, your business status may be temporarily changed to Designer (without notice right) or Inactive Designer pool with or without any notice, automatically or manually until you can contact us by email (info@teleporthub.com) to resolve the issues.

[1*] decent quality: this means you know how to make proper quality products in your business category. For instance, if you are a fashion designer, you need to know how to make clothes with normal map, specular map, & baked shadows textures, not just simply putting a texture on top of a mesh.
[2*] exclusive group gift rules & guidelines: please check the section below for more information.
