Welcome to the Member Showcase Mall Beta!
TulipTools free Member Showcase Mall is a way for members to advertise their products for free and gain backlinks to their sites (Qualifications to participate: minimum of 50 posts and Store RSS feed. RSS feeds can be from either Website Stores or Venue Stores-i.e. Etsy, Ecrater, Ebay, etc). The items in the mall will contain a link to your product's page at your store/venue so shoppers can buy the item at your store. The RSS feed robot (TulipNewsBot) will pull in the latest 5-10 products and will check your RSS feed for new additions every 6 hours. Each product will show as a separate topic.
Anyone who would like to participate in the beta can PM TulipTools, Regic, or Mandy with a link to your RSS feed.
Still to be worked out during the Beta:
1. removal of expired/sold product links (probable solution: you use the report to moderator button to have your expired items removed).
2. limit on number of items each member can have in the mall (to prevent clutter)
3. categories (if needed)

EDIT 9/18/07: The member mall beta is over. No new submissions are being accepted for the forum mall but you can submit your stores and your store's RSS feed to the Online Retailers category in the TulipTools Webmasters Resources Directory.
