If you have a website about women's fashion, celebrities or entertainment then look into joining CoutureCandy.com (http://www.CoutureCandy.com) as an affiliate.

If you are interested in niche markets with low competition then this program may be for you.

Sign up at as a publisher at ForwardNetwork.com (http://www.forwardnetwork.com/pub-signup.jsp)

CoutureCandy program information:
- 10% commissions, competitively priced above bluefly.com, eluxury.com & revolveclothing.com.

- Product catalog support, real time in XML & csv
- Monthly publisher payments

CoutureCandy serves an enthusiastic demographic of fashion conscious women shoppers. Our average order is very high, $180. Even if you do not have an existing website targeting CoutureCandy's typical user, our industry is very untouched by affiliate marketers. Current SEO & PPC publishers are hardly tapping into this market. CoutureCandy is also the first to offer product catalog support for our products so there is a lot of untapped potential.

ForwardNetwork.com (http://www.forwardnetwork.com/pub-signup.jsp) was built by former employees of Fastclick, Commission Junction and ValueClick specifically to handle CoutureCandy.com as an affiliate. Our tracking and reporting platform includes all the best features that you would find at a major affiliate network. We're a small enough company to give you personal advice and suggestions on how to grow you program...the many years working at the affiliate networks listed above affords us that ability and we want to help you grow your program.

Please contact me for any questions. I always enjoy talking about CoutureCandy, ForwardNetwork and the affiliate marketing industry in general.

We now have a product catalog available. You can log in, search for products by color, size, designer and produce a subset of all products available or produce a catalog with everything. Tracking is availble down to specific SKUs. For more information, apply at forwardnetwork.com or email me at blaine@couturecandy.com. The format is currently only available in tab delimited. We're working on CSV then XML. A product catalog API should be done in a few weeks...

We will launch a program with Commission Junction within the next few days. Please email me if you are interested in joining. A product catalog will be available through both ForwardNetwork.com and CJ.com. CJ charges a fee to access product catalogs so for those that do not have access you can join ForwardNetwork.com.

CoutureCandy.com is now live on Commission Junction. A product catalog is available on CJ.com, updated daily. Commissions are 9%. ForwardNetwork has a catalog available for free with 10% commissions. The CoutureCandy program is available to all non-incentive publishers.

Like I said ealier, our industry is not impacted yet. If you're a savy publisher then women's high end fashion could do very well for you.

Great site - one question. I'm interested in signing up and using your XML feed to do a few niche sites. IF I wanted to focus on specific sizes, would I be able to do that using the feed?

[i-blaine]

We don't have the XML feed yet. Using the product feed on CJ you can download the entire product file then filter by sizes. Plus CJ will push or you can ftp the file from them. On ForwardNetwork you can filter by size then download the product catalog - this process is not scheduled and we do not automate it thought FTP but could do that if it made sense. Email me at blaine@couturecandy.com if you need help getting started. We're looking into using the Dynamic Product Showcase Creator.

[Mr. B]

Thanks for the info!

We're looking into using the Dynamic Product Showcase Creator.

What is that? Is that similar to a make-a-page/select-a-product-picture link tool?

I do not use feeds yet (I may at a future point).

I appreciate it when merchants offer the specific product pictures as links :)

[i-blaine]

The Dynamic Product Showcase Creator generates HTML tables for a given advertiser. It can simplify the process of creating product pages. Everything you need is already provided. The product catalog includes link, images, prices, descriptions, categories, etc.

The data feed tool makes it easier to create HTML tables but we have not started to use it yet. Our product feeds are ready today and come with everything you need to start. Images are included. You can create from just about anything. IM me at iblaine256 if you want to talk further about the CoutureCandy affiliate program, strategies that you could use or the industry in general.
