The Franchise Program is aubreTEC Lab’s highest-commission tier for resellers, offering a full 30% commission from sales as well as several significant perks designed to assist in selling aubreTEC products.

FREE COPIES OF ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE AUBRETEC PRODUCTS

Serious sellers need to know the product they’re selling. This is why we provide all of our franchisers with free copies of any aubreTEC product free of charge. All you have to do is wear your Franchise group tag and stop by our affiliate office in Meijis to obtain any product you want with an immediate full refund.

PREMIUM VENDOR SUPPORT

We have loads of experience marketing our own products. Your Franchise membership entitles you to that experience. At your request, we’ll provide whatever advice we can in setting up your franchise presence for the best possible income yield.

ADVANCE NOTICE OF UPCOMING PRODUCTS

Whenever possible, we’ll provide our Franchisers with a 1-3 day advance notice of new products before they’re released, so they’re always up-to-date on the latest aubreTEC releases before they happen. This gives our Franchisers time to hype new products or arrange their stores to advertise the new items.

OPTIONAL SUPPORT DESK PLACEMENT

We’ve developed an automated support desk capable of contacting online representatives, redelivering missed products, and submitting support requests. Each Franchiser is entitled to the placement/modification of these desks at their location, fully streamlining the shopping/support experience for their customers.

FREE ADVERTISING

As a Franchiser, we’ll list your location on our website and give you free banner ad space to promote your venue. We’ll also announce (at your request) the opening of your location to our various groups, so they know that your location is a great new place to purchase aubreTEC products.

PREMIUM SIGNAGE & LOGO LICENSE

As a Franchiser, you’ll receive a conditional license to use our logo at your location. Logos are powerful things; they let customers know you’re an integrated part of the aubreTEC sales force and a reputable distributor.

GROUP CHAT SUPPORT AND PERSONALIZED SERVICE

Got a customer asking about a product? Want to know all about the latest feature? Need help determining how to place your vendors to best effect or how to group products together for better discovery? Ask our group, or contact one of our support reps; we know you’re serious about selling our wares and we want to help you do it.

GUARANTEED HIGHEST COMMISSION OF ANY TIER

Your commission level will never drop below 30% (calculated after any minor networked vendor fees, such as hippoVEND’s 1.5%), but it might go up. If we ever choose to raise commissions across-the-board or create new tiers, the Franchisers are guaranteed the highest available tier.

EXACTLY THE VENDOR YOU NEED

Included here are a wide variety of vendor styles, including six-panel (6P) 14-prim displays, three-panel (3P) 10-prim displays, and single-panel 8-prim displays. Each style comes in three sizes and four categories (All, Weapons, Gadgets, and Vehicles), allowing you to sell just the products you want to include.

These are just a handful of the available vendor styles; we couldn’t put them all in the box, or you’d have a job sorting them out. We also have individual product vendors for each product, and a number of other vendor styles available at our affiliate office in Meijis.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Q: Why should I be an aubreTEC Franchiser?
    A: Here at aubreTEC Labs, we’ve been creating high-quality, innovative products for Second Life since 2005. We do a brisk trade in gadgets and weapons, and a serious-minded franchiser can make good money selling our products.

    Additionally, if you have your own shop or mall, an aubreTEC franchise is a great way to expand your product range and make your shop more attractive to customers. The more products you offer, the more useful your customers will find your store, and the more likely they are to hang around (and increase your traffic), after they’ve bought everything you sell.

    Also, some of our products may compliment your own. Our PicturePerfect range of slideshow frames, for instance, may go well with your prefab homes. Or our color-customizable VX-7 Scorpions may fit in nicely with your line of tactical armor. Or our VISION interface may be the perfect companion to your robot avatars.

    All in all, an additional few prims in your shop may make you a considerable amount of money, and may encourage your customers to buy your own products by offering them features that enhance your own.

  • Q: Why shouldn’t I be an aubreTEC Franchiser?
    A: As the price of the program would indicate, this membership is intended for serious sellers - this includes people who are looking to establish a thriving business in Second Life or people who already have a thriving business and are looking to supplement their income with ours.

    If you’re interested in a more casual sales program, we offer our free Affiliate Kit right here on XStreet. You won’t receive free products, as high a commission, or the same level of support for your business (this is what the investment cost is intended to provide) but it’s a great non-committal way to make a little extra cash on the side.

  • Q: Why is this program so expensive?
    A: In addition to all the free product you’ll receive (which makes the expense a bargain), we provide our Franchisers with a lot of extra help and license. This costs money, and we can’t afford to provide it to everybody.

    It’s easy to make this fee back in a short amount of time with just a little effort.

  • Q: What happens after I purchase this pack?
    A: At first, you’ll receive a kit containing the basic set of vendors. Then, within 24 hours, you’ll receive an invitation to a group called “aubreTEC Franchise.” This group is the real prize; it allows you to pick up whatever franchise vendors you need, to purchase products from our dedicated Franchise vendor with immediate refund, and to request support.
