Moosejaw was just named a top 50 online retail site by Internet Retailer!

Talk about high conversion…these guys are converting at 4.5% network wide for this month. Affiliates are lovin’ that, and it just keeps getting better. If you have outdoor sports/gear traffic DO NOT hesitate to send it to Moosejaw. You’ll be glad you did. Click Here to apply.

This week they were named by InternetRetailer.com as Internet Retailer Best of the Web 2007 a long side of some very impressive company. It’s a great read that emphasizes the power of community in Moosejaw Madness. Here’s a quote from the founder:

“Our goal is simple: to carry the best products and have as much fun in the process,” says Robert Wolfe, founder of Moosejaw Mountaineering. “Our success with fun is reflected in the Moosejaw Madness section of the e-commerce site—it regularly comes in second in total clicks, and we don’t even sell any products there. This is all about community.”

Moosejaw Press Release

This is another one of those ‘getting our new blog caught up’ posts. With that said I am jumping back to our Moosejaw launch in AvantLink at the end of September. There was the standard ABW post and network announcements that drew some great Affiliates right away…and active Affiliates. Then there was the press release! This particular news distribution has been one of our most popular on PRWeb.com yet (and we’ve done quite a few).

To date, this program has been one of the top converters in our network. Their customers are very loyal because most are part of the growing Moosejaw community. Check them out on MySpace! All Affiliates with outdoor apparel/gear traffic should give this one a try.

While writing this I started to get curious about the stats from the Moosejaw press release so I dug them up on PRWeb. This is from Oct 9th through today:

  • Reads, 53,383
  • Web News/Media Pickups, 896
  • PDF Downloads, 119

Here is a quote from the press release: “Experienced online marketers know that a loyal customer base means more commissions for them, and Moosejaw understands the all-around value of the Affiliate channel. They certainly show it in their approach to a new outdoor Affiliate program offered through AvantLink.com.”
