Asking the merchant to go above and beyond.....

As many of you now know from previous threads I am only a part time affiliate and only have about 3 hours an evening to update all my fashion sites.

I just do not have time to log into each network, find out who the contact is for each fashion merchant, and drop them an email to discuss ways of promoting them.

So I have decided to post here, as its probably the merchants/agencies who read this forum are the most active ones towards their affiliates.

What I am after is merchants in the following categories to get in contact with me via pm or email, so we can discuss future promotions, vouchers, best selling lists etc:

Womens Lingerie (sorry Adam)
Bags
Designer Labels
Perfumes
Shoes.
Skate/Surf brands.

Many thanks in advance.

Andrew.

Womens Lingerie (sorry Adam)

Damn...........

[aaclapham]

I know its stupid, perhaps male ego, and I am probably missing a highly profitable niche but, I just cannot get my head around selling male undies.

Sorry Adam

Huge market but no worries.
If you ever change your mind let us know as we go all out to help our affiliates.

I just do not have time to log into each network, find out who the contact is for each fashion merchant, and drop them an email to discuss ways of promoting them.

I know what you mean! Try putting together a little presentation, create a PDF file from it, and email it to all your contacts at the networks and ask they contact merchants and agencies on your behalf.

In it, include details of what you have in the pipeline, what you are after and examples of where it has worked in the past. I did this 2 weeks ago and although initially a little slow, agencies and the odd network have been fantastic with their repsonses. Well worth it despite it taking me sometime to put it all together.

Hi,
Shoes (sort of), Designer labels (is a Liverpool FC shirt this ??), bags (yep we sell them)!

Take a look at Kitbag.com (or see my affiliate blog at www.affiliateblog.kitbag.com). We are Europe's largest online sports goods retailer (over 6,000 different sports products). I should probably give you some more information about what Kitbag does and what we provide. We specialise in a huge range of sports merchandise, and offer the very latest 100% official football shirts from around the world including international and European leagues, and of course the English Premiership. For rugby fans (union and league) - we're the place to shop. We have a huge selection of rugby shirts for all the major rugby teams, plus a wide selection of leisure and training wear, as well as other sports gifts and souvenirs. We also cover other sports, such as cricket and Formula 1, all with 100% official merchandise. We also offer merchandise for all 32 teams in the NFL league, with replica jerseys and gifts. We're one of a few online sports retailers to offer shirt personalisation on football and rugby shirts. We stock the leading sports brands including (but not exclusively) Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Umbro, Puma, Lotto, Joma and many more. Kitbag is a secure site, offering free UK delivery on orders over £75, with guaranteed next day delivery in the UK on orders received before 12pm, and 3 days worldwide.

We regularly promote new offers and discounted products - our recent football shirt sale being a good example (see Kitbag Sale Section | Massive Discounts | Clearance Specials | All Official Premier Branded Product) for examples - current Celtic home shirt and Chelsea away shirts are £19.99 and £14.99 respectively.
