How can I increase my chances of being part of a Sale?

Symptoms

  • I am thinking about applying to be part of a Sale or Deal on the Asset Store
  • I would like to know how I can increase my chances of being accepted as part of an Asset Store Sale

Cause

Each month Unity Asset Store runs a chain of 24 hour sales in which a single package is on sale for… 24 hours! In addition, some months feature theme sales or Madness Sales - the biggest and greatest sales of the year. Sales last from 24 hours to a full month.
Sales items receive a large amount of publicity and - of course - significant sale numbers.
Each month we select a number of packages to feature in our sales. Our selection criteria are dynamic, as in ever changing, but a few guidelines are pretty stationary. 

Resolution

To be selected assets must:

  • Be highly rated by users at 4 or 5 stars. Great reviews from genuine customers are an additional blessing.
  • Be regularly updated and deliver adequate customer support.
  • Have a certain level of wide appeal. For example, one-eyed spotted alien reindeer will respectfully be surpassed.
  • Have great key images! We cannot stress enough the value of this. Whether we like it or not, the visual aspect is of significant importance when promoting your asset - both in and out of a sale. See this PDF for more info on key images.

    On contact I had earlier this year with the admin of the asset store I was told that there wont be other 24 hour sales cause they use too many company resources, this contradicts this whole text.

    Hello Chis.

    Derek from Unity Customer Service here. Thanks for letting us know about the PDF.

    I'll make sure this is fixed when updating the article. 

    For now, the same information can be found under section 2.4 in the submission guidelines.

    All the best.
