Downtown Ecommerce Partners (OPM) Managed Programs

[Liquid1]

Hi Everyone, it's been a while since I've been back here and I apologize for that and will do my best to make sure I come back again more often. I have also left my old company and joined a small marketing firm and now have some exciting news to share with all of you. Here is our first announcement for EMS which is on Performics:

Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS), a trusted name brand in the outdoor gear industry since 1967 is now a clean and more affiliate friendly program!

As I have taken the reigns on this program to create the best possible affiliate experience, we are now proud to offer you all:

* A 7% commission up from the from the past 5%

* A tiered commission structure based on sales (in USD) at sales levels of:
o 7% - $.01 - $1,999.99
o 8% - $2,000 - $3,999.99
o 9% - $4,000+

* If you can maintain sales above the $4,000/month for 4 months, we are also happy to work out a special percentage just for you.

* 60 day cookies, that’s double the old cookie duration of 30 days

* An attentive AM who is active within the affiliate community and attends industry events

* New tools and additions to the EMS program (which will be announced shortly)

* Custom creatives and branded banners (will be available shortly as well)
Regularly updated datafeed

* And quite a few more surprises in store for you to be announced over the next year.


Think about how long we have all been waiting for anti parasite name brand programs. Now we are starting to get them and thanks to the education and awesome affiliates of forums like 5 Star, let’s show the others how we can take a name brand program, clean it up and then knock their sales levels up and out of the park as a community!

The EMS program also allows affiliate participation using the following methods:

* SEO

* PPC (No trademarks, urls or variations)

* Blogging

* Shopping Comparison

* email (Must be CANSPAM compliant)

* Newsletter

* RSS

* Coupon

* Offline marketing

* And more!


Now with that said, EMS is about to launch their spring line which is one of the hottest lines in the industry and of the season. We are also getting primed for their Upgrade Your Gear (UYG) Spring Sales Event in May where your sales could easily double and triple making you a ton of extra cash.

We will also hopefully be announcing a secret surprise for affiliates regarding EMS shortly, so join our program today and get your links up so that when we make our announcement, you are ready to rock and roll!
