CandlePeople, Inc is proud to announce our affiliate program to ABestWeb.com. We've been in operation for about six months, and have over 100 active affiliates that are using from one to five of our current candle sites to make a WEEKLY commission check.

That's right, we pay weekly. Why wait for your money when you can have it almost immediately?

We also pay via PayPal or Bank Wire, and we can also Fedex your payment to you (some charges may apply).

We have five sites:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>DiscountCandleShop.com - Our supersite with over 5,000 candles and candle related items
<LI>NWCandleMaking.com - Our candle making supersite with 1,200+ candle making items
<LI>HolyCandle.com - Our church and religious candle and candle supplies site
<LI>SeasonalCandle.com - For the seasonal holidays - Valentines to Fourth of July to Christmas!
<LI>FloatingLights.com - For the floating candles enthusiast!
[/list]
We are also in development for five more "niche" candle sites that will allow for the ultimate control of targeting your traffic. Each of our sites has ready to copy HTML for text link examples, DHTML floaters, HTML banners, and five different sized of static and animated GIF and JPG banners.

The best part is that we host and rotate the banners for you! When a banner "burns out" we replace it with a new one that will perform better, and you don't have to do anything at all!

CandlePeople sites convert from Google Adwords at 1/44 average (without syndication). Not many wide appeal retail sites can boast that.

We also pay 10% for the top tier, and have multi-tier options for those that recruit more webmasters into the affiliate program (2% bonus per tier).

As of right now we ship to DOMESTIC US CUSTOMERS ONLY. This will change in 2003, as we anticipate shipping to Canada, Mexico, and parts of Europe. We are exploring foreign traffic partnerships in early 2003 which our affiliates will also get credit for.

Compare to the competition, Illuminations.com (through LinkShare) only sends you 6% of sales, and our affiliates tell us that our sites convert TWO TO THREE TIMES better than CandleMart.com and Illiminations.com with a higher average ticket.

If you have a retail audience, test some traffic on our affiliate program today. We can convert your traffic to more dollars! It's worth a small traffic test, right!?

For affiliates doing more than 20 sales per day we can customize you your own website (see http://www.candles24.com, this is an affiliate owned website - he owns the domain, we run the site for him). This is ultimate control
over your traffic and you can also do distinct brand management!

Lastly, we are here for you. Our affiliate manager, Andrew Edmond, is always on Instant Messenger ready to help you with any problems you might have. If there are any problems with the sites, payments, or if there are any questions you need answered even on the weekend, we are here for you. We know you are up until 3am on the weekend programming and promoting. That means we put in the extra hours to be here for you.

Thanks for taking the time to read this announcement! Now go signup! Today! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Looks good Andrew. Are the return day cookies and account ID tracked if your sites are cross linked for themed candles?

WebMaster Mike

"Anyone can make a dollar, it is when you make sense that it starts to add up."...does your eBiz plan make sense?

[Andrew @ CandlePeople.com]

Mike,

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is that all our sites (discountcandleshop.com, holycandle.com, floatinglights.com, seasonalcandle.com, nwcandlemaking.com, candles24.com) all have their cookies managed from the candlepeople.com domain.

So, when the visitor clicks on an affiliate link, the cookie is set to "candlepeople.com", no matter what website they are delivered to, or find their way to. When the user get to the final page of their sale, we redirect that users browser to candlepeople.com to say "thanks" and at that point the cookie is read and credited to your account. We also do IP tracking and matching as well just to be safe.

BTW - Since posting to this forum about our affiliate program, we have gotten several people that are interested in data feeds and are building sites of their own with our 5,000+ candle items!

A little traffic test from their existing sites had them convinced shortly that we CONVERT!
