Well, its time to give you guys the scoop for February and some of the upcoming promotions but first I wanted to thank all of our affiliates for continuing to drive the success of our affiliate program and for making January another great month in this business.

Thanks to you guys the January Bonus Program went great and for those of you who earned bonuses I’ll be tallying up all the numbers and adding  bonuses to your accounts to go out w/ the affiliate payments March 20th.

It was great getting the chance to see some of you at the Meet and Greet in Salt Lake. For those of you who weren’t able to make it, hopefully you will be able to catch one in the future.

So, coming up mid-February The-House will be doing some serious sitewide markdowns so I’ve staged a few text and banner ads targeting those markdowns. In the meantime, we’ve added a couple more ads for the Winter Sale - where your sites visitors can pick up their gear for up to 40% off. Sign into your accounts to grab those ads while the sale is still on.
