How to promote your affiliate program?

[Hertz Furniture]

Hello all,

I am new in affiliate program. We set up an affiliate program for our website a couple mouth ago.Till now, we have recruited 10+ affiliates. I really appreciate 5 Star Affiliate Marketing Forum. Every time I come in here,i will find some brilliant idea.Thanks for the insight...

We start to promote our affiliate program at this moment. First, I signed up as a affiliate, to text and see what the affiliates need and want. Then made some banners, datafeed and presended them to the affiliates.For the deals and coupon, how often do you think I should email to the affiliates.

I based in China, working for American Furniture company.Email is the way we use most for contacting our affiliates. But it seems that email is not the most effective way.Right? Anyway, we will try our best to build up a good partnership with our affiliates.
