This is another simple but very useful sculpted set for café, pub or bar owners. The box includes two sculpted bar stools with different sitting animations for female and male avatars, a sculpted pub table and our very popular Cocktails Dispenser. Each stool is 1-prim, likewise the sculpted table. The contents of the box are copy enabled so you can rez as many copies as you like; a very suitable, low-prim solution for your hangout. The Cocktails Dispenser is copy enabled too; it is a scripted object in look of a tray with two cocktail glasses. It gives 4 different tropical cocktails on-click, in a menu driven way.

You can see, test and buy the sculpted table set at Esperanza Beach.

A simple, casual and natural table set for your café, pub or bar – or even for your home/garden. I made this set a couple of months ago when I felt the need of a simple café/pub at Esperanza Beach, where customers could sit and rest or chat with their friends. Most visitors loved the barrel seats and table and many of them asked me if I could sell it as a set. I didn’t think about selling these lovely pieces when I first made them; it was for use at the Beach. But later I decided to combine it with our popular Beer Dispenser and made a ready-to-use set especially for tiki hangouts, cafés or pubs.

Each barrel is one-prim and the table is two-prims – all sculpted items with high quality textures and special sitting animations with female and male avatars. The set comes with the beer dispenser: A scripted object in look of a beer tray with glasses – gives 5 different beer brands in a menu-driven system on-click.

All the pieces in the set are copy enabled which means you can rez as many copies as you like – ideal for outdoor pubs, tiki bars or beach hangouts. You can see, try and buy the set at Esperanza Beach.

I made these sculpted benches a couple of weeks ago but could only put them on sale recently. There are five models with different wood textures: Plywood, Mahogany, Oldwood, Birch and Pine. Bench itself is 4 prims, with poseballs for three persons, it makes totally 7 prims. Very realistic and natural looking. The poseballs have three different high quality sitting animations.

All models can be seen at Esperanza Gardens but you can also buy them from Esperanza Mainstore too.

It’s been more than a week since this product was released but I was too busy with all those negative aspects of SL economy lately so delayed to post the update. As probably most of you know, LL announced a new regulation on XStreetSL about listing products and this clearly means a serious new step to kill smart business in SL to me. A blog post will follow about this subject, as well as the “greedy tier pricing” of LL soon but for now, I’d like to tell about our new product.

It’s a campfire set for your outdoor places; I believe, the best is a beach or forest but you can place it anywhere you feel suitable. The set includes 3 sculpted logs to sit on, a sculpted campfire with particles and a coffee dispenser that gives steamy coffee mugs on-click. Each log has a different sitting animation (made by me) and one of them is a “guitar player” action. Just click on the poseball for guitar player, keep the guitar and wear, then sit on the log. Your avatar will begin strumming the guitar.

The set is mod/copy enabled, so you can rez as many of those items as you like. Three logs not enough? Rez more. Use the coffee dispenser (a simple coffee mug) anywhere you want – it’s not linked to other objects and can be used individually.

You can buy it from any Esperanza store but if you want to see it before buying, visit Esperanza Beach, try it for yourself and buy. I am not sure about listing it on XStreetSL after this “crazy” new regulation but if I stay using XSL, I may add it to our item collection.

This package belongs to our new product line, full permission sculpted object sets: Cocktail glasses at different shapes and styles. This special package was put on sale at Esperanza Mainstore, Esperanza Artshop and Esperanza Beach today.

It includes 10 sculpted texture maps and 10 sample objects (single prim) made with these textures – all mod/copy/transfer enabled. The aim is helping the builders among our customers, who want to use some essential parts as sculpted objects in their builds. Sculpted Glassware Set can be used for making cocktails to use in a dispenser or bartender gadget – or for decoration objects, ornaments on bar shelves; it all depends on the imagination and needs.

You can download the texture maps to your hard drive and edit them at your favorite 3D modeller or editor; change the shapes if you want and retexture them as you like. Add cocktail dressings and some liquid and make great looking tropical cocktails. (These sculpty maps are the ones we used in our popular product Bartender 2.0.) All we ask is, not to sell the texture maps or objects with full permissions.

New sets that belong to this new product line will come this week; so keep an eye at Esperanza stores if you are interested.

I can understand the “group quota” problem; we at Esperanza have this problem too. When you are allowed to join only 25 groups in-world, you are reluctant to signup for a new one. But this is business, guys: If we cooperate in an affiliate program and share the revenues that come from the sales, it’s mandatory for you to be in our Affiliates Group. Simply because:

1. We want to know who is selling our products, in order to give a better support.

2. HippoVend system updates come very often and we need to send updated packs to the affiliates via group notices. The old ones expire in a short time, after the package is replaced by the updated vendors. Would you like to see “out of order” vendors with blank screens, when you come to your shop?

3. From time to time, we offer special comissions on new products and this only available on specific vendors we post to the group. We need active affiliates who follow group notices and update/replace vendors to cooperate with us on our marketing strategy.

4. Also, we may change the comission rates on some products and the only way to learn this is checking group notices.

5. On special times, holiday seasons etc., we prepare promotional material, merchandise items for affiliates and post these packages using group notices.

Summary: You want to sell our products and earn money? Then you should be in sync with us which means you should join Esperanza Affiliates Group. You do not want to cooperate and feel reluctant to reserve a group slot for our business? Then goodbye, you are not a qualified business partner for us. It’s that simple.

 

Note: Esperanza Affiliate Vendor packages are only available in-world since November 1. Visit one of our stores, wear your group tag (you can join the group by touching the gadgets you see there) and touch the affiliate vendor package dispensers. It’s free and easy. Plus, we pay 40% comission on every sale you make via your vendors at your shops.

Deluxe Store 3 is a two-storey modern design store for 1024 sqm and larger lots. It is 102 prims and mod/copy enabled. Each floor is illuminated by two scripted and owner-controlled lamps, mounted on wall panels. A sculpted wooden staircase leads the visitors upstairs. At the entrance, there is a product stand to display items/gifts; wall panels also have single shelves for the same purpose.

Deluxe Store 3, comes with a sculpted/scripted metal street lamp (copy enabled) and pavement & road parts (mod/copy enabled) to design basement and surrounding. Together with Deluxe Store 1 and Deluxe Store 2, this product set is ideal for mall or shopping complex builds.

On November 1st, we are launching the new gift voucher system. Using Esperanza Gift Vouchers, you can safely shop via our vendors at Esperanza stores and also send these vouchers to your friends as a gift – they can choose what they want from our product lines.

The Gift Vouchers come with 6 different L$ values recorded on them: 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 L$ vouchers will be on sale at our stores next week. Using the vouchers is very easy (and the vouchers come with help/instruction notes) and handy: You just rez or “wear” the voucher near one of Esperanza vendors at our stores; then click on the main panel when it shows the product you want. A menu will appear, asking you if you’d like to use the voucher for this transaction. Choose “Yes” and that’s all! Your item will be instantly delivered to you; and the price will be deducted from your voucher. If the price is higher than the voucher’s value, you can pay the remaining amount to vendor and complete the transaction.

Last week, I have updated the Esperanza Affiliate Vendor Pack, which has been circulated for a long time. This update not only includes the new and faster, low lag vendor set, but also brings a new, much higher commission for the affiliates: Now you can get 40 percent from every sale you make via your vendors at your own place!

The new vendors are not multi-panel, multi-item gadgets. I focused on some hand-picked, good selling items and chose to make single-item vendors for each of them. The purpose is very clear: According to Esperanza sales reports, people prefer to buy from simple, single-item vendors, without touching/playing with multi-panel gadgets. Moreover, most affiliates contacted me in the past years and told they would like to use low-prim and simple vendors at their shops.

The package has 6 different boxes, each box having a specific category: Beach & Tiki, Home Bars, Plants & Flowers, Garden Stuff, Beach Sets and Gadgets. In total, there are 88 different vendors, selling individual items, 1-prim each. You can browse the contents, choose the ones you would like to sell/display in your shop or venue; according to your visitor profile. The box also includes necessary signs and logos, stating you are an official reseller of Esperanza.

The new affiliate boxes are free (as usual) and can ONLY be obtained from Esperanza stores – check the Stores page for SLurls. When you teleport to our stores, find the affiliate packs, click on them and buy for free. The only important thing is, you need to join Esperanza Affiliates in-world group. There is a group inviter sign just above the packages. Click on them, join the group, then don’t forget to activate your group tag before clicking on the affiliate pack dispenser.

Important note: The vendors in the old affiliate pack will expire soon! So if you have the old boxes, don’t forget to replace them with the new ones or you won’t be able to make any sales.
