4 Years With Loot Crate… Over

No More Loot Crate
Photo-A-Day #4409

I made this video, not out of bitterness or anger or spite. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have been able to review Loot Crate boxes for the past 4 years for free. I was one of the first people to ever review the crates to promote this newly formed company that wanted to grow. Loot Crate did grow. It grew and grew into an extremely popular company that has several different crates shipping out every month. I’ve been able to review Loot Crate, Loot Wear, Marvel Gear + Goods, and more.

I found out the other day that I won’t be receiving any more Loot Crates for free. My audience isn’t converting to sales very well and therefore it isn’t worth it to the company to send me Loot Crate for free to review if there isn’t anything for them in return. I completely understand this. It makes sense. It is also my fault. For the past four years I had the mindset of promotion and not sales. I simply told people about the great crates and didn’t try and sell people on signing up.

Sure, I have a discount code and some affiliate links. I add this to each of my videos:

I am an Affiliate for Loot Crate and you can order Loot Crate through my link and use the promo code BENSPARK for a discount. https://benspark.com/LootCrateDX

But that did not translate into sales because I had the mindset of promotion, not sales.

Loot Crate is something that I have enjoyed being a part of and I hope it is something that continues to grow and do well. I wish Matt and Chris and the rest of the team continued success with their company. If I ever get asked back I will be certain to not only promote by sell as this is a company I believe in and want to see succeed.

This mean that this is the end of me doing Loot Crate Unboxings? Yes and No. I will no longer be doing sponsored unboxings, however I purchased a 3 month subscription and will do some of my own unboxings with crates I purchased. I couldn’t miss out on the Guardians themed crate that is coming this month. It has items from these properties:

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
STAR WARS
DESTINY
GOONIES

I wasn’t missing the Rocket and Groot statue that is in the crate.
