Gardeners’Choice.com Announces Affiliate Program

Gardeners’Choice.com has announced their affiliate program this week in a bid to attract more affiliates for promoting the online gardening store.

The site offers high quality, discount plant and seed supply as well as gardening accessories at clearance prices. According to Michael Weinstein of Gardeners’ Choice, “We offer gardening enthusiasts a one-stop shop for all the beautiful plants they’ll need to grow a gorgeous garden, including a wide assortment of fruits and vegetables, ground cover, vines, flowers, trees and much more. Plus we feature an additional selection of essential gardening accessories at major discounts.”

The affiliate program offers website owners the opportunity to sign up and promote Gardeners’ Choice and earn commissions for any sales they refer. AffiliateTraction, an online affiliate program promotion and management firm has been chosen to run the affiliate program and offer support to affiliates.

According to Greg Shepard, CEO of AffiliateTraction, the concept of an affiliate program is quite simple, but ensuring its success relies upon an attentive staff and established procedures. “AffiliateTraction employs a full time staff to ensure the success of the affiliate program by making certain affiliates are given all the tools and support they need to promote the program effectively. We also have established procedures for promoting the affiliate program in all the places online where affiliates go for the latest tips and information.”

Shepard went on to explain how the affiliate program works. “An affiliate program is essentially a way for website owners to earn more revenue from their website. Anyone can sign up for the program. After a short review, if they are accepted they will be provided with a special link or piece of code to include on their site that will render an advertisement for Gardeners’ Choice. If any visitors click on this advertisement and go on to make a purchase, our special tracking software credits the affiliate with a commission.”

The Gardeners’ Choice affiliate program offers a 20% commission to affiliates on any sales they refer. Plus, the program offers a second tier commission of 10%, meaning that anyone who refers additional affiliates will earn an additional 10% of the referred affiliates’ commissions.  Checks are sent out monthly when an affiliate’s commissions reach $50 or more.

Affiliates are provided with a variety of advertisement options to choose from including banners in every major size, text links, promotional emails and a product line data feed. AffiliateTraction also offers custom design work for affiliates with high earning potential.

In addition to being offered through AffiliateTraction’s proprietary affiliate software, the offer is also available to be promoted through major online affiliate networks including Commission Junction, Doubleclick Performics, Shareasale, Linkconnector and Datran Media, providing an option for those who are more comfortable working within a system they are already use to using.
