Firebox.com launch US affiliate program

[nim-b]

Hello

We've just launched our US affiliate program on the Linkshare network. This is for all sales made through our dedicated US site.

We pay 8% on all sales, with 30 return days. We have a full product feed through the Linkshare Merchandiser program, plus RSS feeds of new and top selling products.

If you have sites that are aimed at the US, or your international site gets a proportion of US traffic, this is a great affiliate program to join. Currently our range of gifts gadgets and games is smaller in the US, but its growing all the time. We have a couple of exclusive products, and we feel our unique way of doing things is unmatched in the US.

In addition, if you are already a member of our UK program and feel you might get a few sales through our US site, please join to avoid losing out on any commission. We allow you to double link (ie link through a UK network and then Linkshare before hitting Firebox), so you don't miss out on any sales.

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.

Cheers
Naomi

will affiliate sales made using the Us linkshare tracking to the UK section of firebox get tracked? (and vice versa using the UK tracking network)

Not unless you join both programs. This is because UK networks don't support sales being reported in dollars, which is what we charge in on the US site.

You are however allowed to double link to combat this. So you join our UK and US programs, and for a link where you think you might get some US traffic you link through the UK network, then Linkshare, and then to Firebox. This means the user gets cookies set for both sites, so it doesn't matter where they buy from, you'll still get the sale.

I hope this makes sense- unfortunately its the only viable way of doing it.

Cheers
