Hey Everyone:
We have a great pre Thanks Giving promotion that is taking off. Get the gear while you can because when it’s gone, it’s gone.
Altrec Coupon
Cheers,
Sharon Page Affiliate Manager Altrec.comThe day everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. Today Backcountry.com launched the highly anticipated ODAT Affiliate Program (one deal at a time). We’ve seen many imposters over the last few months but this is the real deal, we’re talking about Steepandcheap.com, Whiskeymilitia.com, Chainlove.com and Tramdock.com. Check out this segment of the recently issued press release:
“Affiliates recognized the value of ODAT early on,” said Porter Haney, Backcountry’s ODAT Affiliate manager. “They’ve been building alert tools across platforms – tools that we didn’t have – because they wanted the functionality and they new that others did too. They’ve added these widgets to their sites, in hopes that we’d eventually step up and pay them for their efforts and for all the customers they send our way. This program is a nod to them and to others that want to make some money marketing our sites.” Read more…
The ODAT Affiliate Program is different in many ways from the typical revenue share model; this is the 1st of our programs to offer a New Customer Bounty, giving a $5 flat rate for any new customer referred by an affiliate site. We’ll offer several dynamic tools including daily deal banners that refresh with new product as it comes up on the site in turn creating a sticky environment on your site. The ODAT Affiliate Program operates under very separate program terms from the Backcountry Affiliate Program - please understand this before promoting Backcountry’s one deal at a time sites. For all the program details see below:
- Joining is free and easy!
- 120 day cookie duration gives you four months to refer a sale and earn money!
- 100% parasite free
- Deal Of The Day Tool
- Dynamic HTML banners
- RSS subscription tools
- $5 new customer bounty
- Detailed reporting
- SEO friendly tools
- Banner/text/flash ads
- We carry the Best Brands in the Outdoor Industry, such as The North Face, and Burton, which means more motivated buyers and better conversion

Join now by logging into your Avantlink account select the “Merchants” tab and apply for all our ODAT sites.

The best investment you can make right now is in gear at Backcountry.com. Today we launched a promotion unlike anything we’ve done before, our unofficial name for this is the Stimulus Package (coined by our other AM Ryan Myers). This promo guarantees cash back up to $75 in January 2009, here are the three sales thresholds customers will need to reach in order to qualify.
- Spend $100 at Backcountry.com | Save $20 in January 2009
- Spend $200 at Backcountry.com | Save $50 in January 2009
- Spend $300 at Backcountry.com | Save $75 in January 2009

We feel CR will be highest when adding these thresholds at the point of purchase for those of with a gear store or shopping comparison engine. We’ve also added banners and text links in the Avantlink interface to support the promotion. I encourage everyone to hit this hard!
