Retail Affiliate marketing programs - pay for performance.

We prefer to deal with all our retail advertisers through pay-for-performance affiliate programs. That means you pay a percentage of sales rather than a fixed amount. Imagine only paying for your print advertising if it produced sales. However, we are very selective about the merchants we choose to take on. Having an affiliate program is not a guarantee of inclusion. You need a functional site that is able to convert the traffic we send you to valid sales or leads. You need an affiliate program that is accurate, reliable and provides sufficient tracking information. Your service must be good and your products need to match our audience. Read more here...  
 
So, you have an online shop and an affiliate program and want website publishers like BCL to start promoting you... but for some reason they seem reluctant to do so.  What's going on? See our merchant checklist here...
