Hello creators! We understand the hard work that goes into creating your designs, especially around the big occasions, so we want to ensure your cards are protected from design copycats. Obviously, this means you get paid fairly for your creativity, but it also means we can continue to offer our customers the latest original content. And that keeps them coming back! <\/span><\/p>\n

This article is all about our pre-release feature: why we have it, and how it helps keep your designs that little bit safer from the eyes of our competitors.  We use our pre-release feature for our \u2018big\u2019 occasions, such as Valentine\u2019s Day, Mother\u2019s Day, Father\u2019s Day and Christmas. Cards that have been added to the pre-release category have been accepted into the thortful catalogue at that time, but they won\u2019t appear there until after we release them. This means they won\u2019t be searchable on site until they have been released into the catalogue. You can check to see if your card is being held in the pre-release category by looking at the Card Management tab in your creator account \u2013 you\u2019ll see your card\u2019s moderation status underneath the design. Please note, there are occasions where we may move a card to ‘profile only’ when we refine the catalogue prior to launch.<\/p>\n

Why do we do this? It\u2019s so we can launch our new collections at the optimum time (we base this on when we see an increase in customer interest), in line with the launch of our marketing campaigns. It also gives our competitors much less time to imitate designs found on our site, helping you to keep your designs unique and protect your IP.\u00a0<\/p>

For you as a creator, there\u2019s nothing you need to do differently when uploading a \u2018big occasion\u2019 card design. We want you to continue coming up with your exciting new designs, bearing in mind our deadlines. The deadlines for our \u2018big occasions\u2019 can be found in our content calendar here. Just remember, the designs won\u2019t appear in categories or searches immediately until after the collection has been launched!<\/p>

As always, if you have questions then please drop us an email at creators@thortful.com<\/a> and we\u2019ll be happy to help.\u00a0<\/p>

Team thortful\u00a0<\/p>
