Introducing another new AvantLink merchant:
This program, a sister site/store to Massey’s Professional Outfitters (and their other Affiliate programs announced today), rounds out the latest killer additions to our Outdoor/Recreation category. We’re very excited about this opportunity for Affiliates. I will say sincerely that I’ve known the guys behind these four programs for a while, and they are all business. They know the Affiliate industry, and they will support you on every level.
We don’t bring Affiliate programs on board unless they are ready for prime time, and these guys certainly are ready to rock!
Oh by the way, WeGotYourPack.com is a site that targets the backpacking, trekking and travel crowd. As with all their sites they bring you world-class brand names to promote including The North Face, Patagonia, Osprey and Eagle Creek.
And remember the Massey’s programs will NOT reverse your commissions on return orders, only fraud. There is also a 365-day cookie, so don’t procrastinate adding the Massey’s programs this right away. The 4th quarter officially begins in four days!
From their program description:
For Spring 2008, we will expand the selection to include more packs, more luggage, more accessories, plus…everything that goes in the pack or bag. That means, tents, sleeping bags, hostel sheets, and on and on.

Introducing another new AvantLink merchant:
Here it is…program number three of four that went live today in AvantLink from Masseys Professional Outfitters: The Flip Flopper! The product line is different, but the site and Affiliate program support (and terms) are just as impressive. This is specialty, surf-inspired lifestyle site popular with a younger demographic. Sandal and beach footwear brands include Billabong, Quiksilver, Keen, Chaco and Roxy. All large recognizable brands that will convert for you year round.
Just a reminder that ALL the Massey’s programs will not be reversing sales on returns. These guys acknowledge that you’ve done your job as an Affiliate by sending the paying customer. If they return a product you sold, they’re still going to pay you! Reversal transactions will be processed on fraud orders only.
And remember like the others, TheFlipFlopper.com offers a 365-day cookie life on each click!
From their program description:
The crowd shopping here wants to identify with where they spend their money. TheFlipFlopper.com is a very clickable name and is backed up with tongue in cheek banners and custom graphics. Our specialty is creating logos that mimic big corporate brands.

Introducing another new AvantLink merchant:
As we mentioned earlier today in the new program post for Masseys Professional Outfitters, there are three other stores that went live with this launch. The second I would like to draw attention to is 800-Ski-Shop.com. This is Massey’s alpine-only specialty site featuring world-class ski and snowboard brands like Volkl/Tecnica, K2 and Burton. Perfect timing for the mad winter sports gear buying frenzy, and of course the holiday spending season.
Just a reminder that ALL the Massey’s programs will not be reversing sales on returns. You’ve done your job by sending the paying customer, and this company acknowledges that. From our perspective at AvantLink, we agree fully with that line of thought. If an Affiliate-referred customer returns an item, it’s likely the fault of the merchant (wrong size, color variant, etc.) and not the Affiliate. Plus, it’s probable the store just acquired a long-term customer from the referral. Eating a return is a small price to pay for that acquisition.
Oh yeah and don’t forget, 800-Ski-Shop.com offers a 365-day cookie life on each click!
From their program description:
This separate site allows us to craft a different look and feel that may be more attractive to alpine enthusiasts. We also feel that 800-SKI-SHOP is MUCH more likely to be clicked by someone looking for a new pair of skis or boots then MasseysOutfitters.com.

Introducing another new AvantLink merchant:
We’re thrilled to bring you the Masseys Affiliate program, in addition to three other niche stores that are part of the Masseys’ family. MasseysOutfitters.com is the adventure specialist with multiple stores and multiple websites dedicated to outfitting people for whatever outdoor activity they enjoy. They carry over 200 outdoor brands from high-converting manufacturers like Patagonia, The North Face and Chaco.
There’s some BIG news to share about these programs, and I’ll get to that in a second. But for now, note that this is yet another killer merchant in the Outdoor/Recreation category at AvantLink. We’re the leaders in this category, so if you have outdoor-oriented traffic come on board and start using our advanced and dynamic Affiliate technology to drive traffic for high-dollar oudoor gear and apparel.
Now for that BIG news. With their Affiliate-centric approach to their programs, Masseys and their sister stores will reverse your sales on fraud orders only! Let me say it again in another way, Masseys will not reverse sales on returns, only on fraud orders. They feel that you’ve done your job by sending a paying customer, and it’s up to them to hold the sale. Period. We’re absolutely on board with that line of thought, so we appluad this decision.
Oh yeah, and one more thing that will peak your interest: Their programs offer a 365-day cookie life on each click!
From their program detail page at AvantLink:
On the technology and conversion side, we’ve invested heavily in new technologies such as Scene 7, Dotomi, Celbros Search, and Channel Advisor to create a solid site that converts for our affiliates. Our goal is to offer you a great performing site with all the latest features and functionality available today and tomorrow.
