Additional Questions and Answers for Suppliers

  • Is there a cost to appear on the show?
    No, there is no charge to appear on the TV show. There are no hidden fees or charges, although donations are always welcome :-)

  • Can i buy a promotional spot on your show?
    We have several programs specifically for those organizations that wish to partner with us to provide production and underwriting assistance. Please visit our advertising group website for more information.

  • Why do I have to have a product to be on TV?
    The purpose of our show is to highlight how artists are inspired by their relationship with God to create the artistic products they create. Therefore - there needs to be a product. Please note, you should not think of deeperLiving as the Shopping Network or QVC. We dont sell products, we simply highlight product availability so that our viewers can find your products should they desire.

  • How can I help my artistic products sell?
    Viewers are provided with informational messages directing them to our website for further information. On our website we outline those retailers that have partnered with deeperLiving TV to provide production and underwriting and assistance. We ask that viewers patronize our partner retailers when purchasing their selections. One such strategic partner is www.deepershopping.com.

  • Do i need to do anything special to help my products be available for sale?
    You will need to discuss this question with your retailer partners. deeperLiving is not a retailer. However we do require that your product be available for sale at a minimum of one of our partner retailers. You may find those retailers that have partnered with us by looking at our "SHOP WITH US" tab.

  • Why do you mention deeperShopping - what is it?
    deeperShopping is one of our partner retailers, and helps fund and underwrite the cost of deeperLiving's program production. deeperShopping donates 100% of the proceeds raised through the sales of merchandise to our television production budget. We therefore respectfully request that both viewers and industry vendors consider supporting deeperShopping - as your patronage directly affects our production budget.

  • How much product will i sell by appearing on TV?
    deeperLiving TV does not sell products. We are not a Television Shopping Network, or an infomerical. Our programming is informational, engaging and educational. Treat it as publicity and be blessed that your message is getting out there in front of viewers.

    We do provide our viewers with information on how to purchase the products that are featured, by outlining retailers that have partnered with the deeperLiving TV show, and who carry the guest's items.

  • To be with one of the listed retailers I need "Distribution". What is that?
    You must organize industry distribution at a wholesaler who supports at least one of our partner retailers. If you are not aware of what "distribution" is, please contact the Christian Booksellers Assocation at www.cbaonline.org. We currently recognize only five ways your product can be distributed for sale. You must engage at least one of the methods listed here.

  • What is deeperDistribution?
    deeperDistribution is distribution of last resort, and is a service provided by one of our retailing partners at www.deepershopping.com. When the standard industry distributors will not stock your product, and we wish to feature it on TV or on our network of websites, we use deeperDistribution. deeperDistribution is a consignment only form of distribution and pays 50% of the RRP of the item to the manufacturer.

  • But I already have distribution through other sources!
    Have your current distributors contact one of the distribution options listed above and arrange for them to carry your item. No matter what other distribution you have carried in one of our partner distributors to be considered as a guest. Nothing dissapoints viewers more than getting excited about a product and then not being able to find it.

  • Can I send my products after you have taped or aired the show?
    No - your shows will be cancelled if your items are not available at one of our partner distribution services at the time the episodes are recorded. No Exceptions! All programs air approximately 2 to 4 weeks after having been shot. We don't "hold" programs until your product is ready. If your product is not going to be ready by the agreed deadline date, call us and see if you can reschedule.

  • Do you have any rules regarding Product Packaging and Presentation?
    Our viewers are the most discerning of customers, and require a high end retailing experience. When we showcase books, music or giftware items to viewers, we expect that all packaging must be of the highest quality. We are very serious about how products are packaged. Jewelry must be in velvetine gift boxes. Many products are being purchased as gifts, and we will not accept tacky or poor quality packaging no matter how good the product is. Jewelry will not be accepted in plastic bags - you must have it professionally boxed. The same for beauty products, soaps and all other gift items.

  • What Product Categories do you like to feature on air?
    Books, Music, Movies, Giftware, Jewelry, Apparel, Health, Beauty, Food & Gourmet - any item that involves a creative aspect. Please note, we do not feature guests who make items such as bookmarks, postcards, stickers, individual giftcards, buttons, magnets or similar "novelty" items.
