For Fall / Winter 08, MasseysOutfitters.com has undertaken a massive optimization of Marmot product selection.

We’ll be offering over 1500 different Marmot skus and over 10,000 variations of sizes and colors.

We currently have over 30,000 units of Marmot now available to sell.

This will easily be one of our best converting brands this Winter.

We’d love to set you up with custom banners. Please email us at affiliates@masseys.net with the size(s) and which of our sites you’d like the url’s to point to; MasseysOutfitters.com (all Marmot merchandise), theflipflopper.com (strictly Marmot lifestyle products), 800-SKI-SHOP.com (Marmot Alpine clothing and Gear),  or WeGotYourPack.com (backpacking and hiking gear)

This Fall, we’re opening up our 800-SKI-SHOP.com program to keyword specialists.

This is a great opportunity for experts in PPC to promote a site with a $200+ average sale and up to a 13% commission rate.

Interested and Qualified affiliates will be able to access our existing keywords, plus a datafeed containing all currently available products.

Our search engine platform allows for creation of custom, high conversion URL’s to be created from keywords.

We’ve listened to our affiliates and decided to standardize on Avantlink.

Effective 7/31, we will end our CJ program and our relationship with Ebates.

There is no question that Avantlink is the absolute best affiliate program for outdoor stores.

Thanks for the great response from all the folks (that switched over from CJ with us) that gave us the green light to make the switch! If we haven’t heard from you, and you think this is good, bad, or you just don’t care, we’d LOVE to hear from you. What can we do for you? We are dedicated to working with Gary and Scott to create one of the best programs in the outdoor industry!

Massey’s Outfitters Commission Change

I’m excited to announce that there are some major changes with Massey’s affiliate programming.

1) Starting August 1st, Massey’s will be moving all affiliates into a single program. We have chosen to standardize on Avantlink because of the fantastic support we have received in the past year from their professional and accessible staff.

2) We are Raising ALL Commission Rates. Since we no longer have to support the administration (and costs) of managing two programs, we are passing that savings on to our most loyal affiliates. The new commission structure is as follows;

MasseysOutfitters.com will start at 9% and transition up to 11% for higher sales tiers.
800-SKI-SHOP.com, theflipflopper.com, and WeGotYourPack.com will START at 11% and transition to 13% for the best performing affiliates.

I will remind everyone: WE DO NOT REVERSE ON RETURNS! This means if you make the sale, you will get paid. Only in the case of fraud or abuse will we reverse.

You don’t have to do a thing. Your rates are already changed.

Look for additional Massey’s affiliate news coming out in the next few weeks.

Also, I wanted to thank everyone who made the switch from CJ and all of you who have supported us on Avantlink for the past year.

Please contact me if any questions.

This month, we have a promotion where anyone who purchases $300 or more in Marmot clothing or gear will get a free Marmot Trestles sleeping bag.

If you don’t currently do our program, it’s a great time to consider it. We recently started a a P2P link program with Marmot that has been converting very well. We think we’d convert your traffic well too.

This week, we’ll be offering 20% off on all bags and packs.

The only brand excluded is Patagonia.

This even includes North Face Daypacks… PERFECT TIMING for Back to School.

Hey folks. This is a quick update on our 4th of July Clearance.

Every year, right after 4th of July, we start our annual clearance sale. So, it’s going on now.

July is a HUGE month for us online because of all of the discounts we offer throughout the store. Conversions hit the high point of the Summer.

Bes sure to pick up our current datafeeds or deal of the day.

There won’t be a better chance to promote outdoor gear deals than right now.

As is our tradition, we have started our annual Winter clearance… the day after Mardi Gras. This year Fat Tuesday was pretty early, so there is an exceptional amount of clearance product in the channel.

We are offering 30-50% off on a significant amount of product from Patagonia, North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, Spyder, Nils, and tons more.

We’re also clearing out all hardgoods… Volkl Skis, K2 Skis, Salomon Skis, Burton Snowboards, Ride Snowboards… all at MAJOR discounts.

This is a great opportunity to pick up some easy sales at a 5%+ Conversion Rate.
