Hi Brandon,
You simply wanted free items. Furthermore, you were able to obtain $100 in free items, which is order that you're using to review here...There is a cost of business, and I'm not willing to front things to you without anything in return from a business standpoint. I am sorry that you feel differently. I wish you lasting success in business.
This is word for word the email that was sent to you:
"I am reaching out to notify you that your shopify collaboration permissions with ThePokeNest have been revoked. Your shopify collaboration account is separate from ThePokeNest affiliate permissions. Please note that your shopify collaborations account has been set to "no tier", meaning that we no longer deem ourselves affiliated, or "in collaboration" with your business.
Reason(s) for affiliate tier removal & change to "no tier":
1) You asked repeatedly for free items, help, and handouts, then stated it was "a joke".
2) Immediate "future plans", instructing, and borderline demands, despite ThePokeNest being the sole business collaboration partner funding the entirety of all collaborative efforts.
Overall summary of collaborative removal:
In short, once ThePokeNest gave you access to the collaborative tier 1 discount code and $100 product give card, you asked for more, and your attitude was not appreciated, to the point of us severing this collaboration agreement. There was a purchase made with the gift card, and it was expressed that it would be sold on your live platform, and more was asked for before this was achieved. You have not completed any actions for us, other than take things for free, and asking for more- all within 4 days. This is a risk that we cannot take on at this time. I apologize if this is a let down for your business.
I personally wish you success in the hobby, and I appreciate the 4 days that I was able to converse with you. I understand that many look via different avenues when it comes to a collaborative approach in business. However, here at ThePokeNest, we try to minimize risk via transparency and honesty. In all business situations, we still hold ourselves to that same standard.
Best,
Tristan
ThePokeNest"
