New Release Discounts allow all new asset packages to be discounted automatically at launch and can be applied to any new asset priced $15 or more:

  • Launch Discounts can be: 10%, 30% or 50%.
  • Sales Period can be: 1 or 2 weeks.

Next, the price of your discounted asset cannot be decreased for six weeks following the sale’s end.

Official Global Analytics says

Participating in the New Release Discount will – on average – bring in more revenue for an asset than not participating.

Over time, the benefits will diminish.

Where your asset will appear

  • Main Page contains “New Release Discounts” section.
  • Search has “New release discount” filter.

Asset will get the next badges

  • “New Release”
  • “50%”, “30%” or “10%”

So this is a useful marketing technique to improve your business deals.

And if I remember the publisher’s forum thread correctly, most publishers would strongly recommend the full 50% discount. If in doubt or if it’s your first asset, pick 50%. :wink:
