| VIP Affiliate Program Frequently Asked Questions |
|
|
| Why choose the collectiblestoday.com VIP Affiliate Partner Network? |
When you join our free VIP Affiliate Program,
you team with one of the world's largest and most trusted industry leaders.
We
pay
commissions on thousands of products, consisting of both our own exclusive
brands and those from merchandising partners. |
| When do I earn my commission? |
| When the customer places an order, the cookie
information that gives you credit for facilitating the sale will be transmitted
to us. You will earn your commission on the retail price of the merchandise
we ship in response to such paid orders, except that we may take deductions
where the customer returns the merchandise or the credit card issuer
charges us back for a payment previously made. We will track this cookie
and order information, along with information concerning shipments, payments
and returns. Provided we owe you at least $25 when we make the monthly
calculation, each month we will send you a check for your commission
on the net sales revenue your site has generated. It's that simple. |
| Is my site eligible to become a collectiblestoday.com VIP Affiliate? |
| collectiblestoday.com wants to work with all types
of sites, from large commercial sites to individual Web pages, and everything
in between. Anyone may submit an application, and we review each and
every potential VIP Affiliate Web site before accepting it into the VIP
network. We do reserve the right to refuse a site if it contains objectionable
material, including pornography, explicit language or content, or support
for violent groups. |
| What does it cost to join? |
| Nothing! It's absolutely free to join VIP Affiliate
Partner Network. You are free to cancel at any time. |
| Can a Web site based outside the United States be a collectiblestoday.com VIP Affiliate? |
| At this time we are not able to ship products
outside the U.S. through our Affiliate Partner Program. This may change
in the future, so check back here frequently. We welcome Affiliate sites
from across the world as long as their target audience is based in the
United States. All referral fee payment checks to VIP Affiliates are
denominated in U.S. dollars. |
| I'm a Web site designer. Can my Web site be a collectiblestoday.com VIP Affiliate? |
| Yes. You can link to our site to sell products
just as any other site would. You may not, however, place your Web site's
links on sites that you create for your clients. They must create their
own accounts. |
| Can I link my site to collectiblestoday.com and to other online retailers at the same time? |
| We do not prohibit linking to multiple online
retailers, although we believe that you can make more money if you limit
the number of retailers you promote to your customers. We continue to
enhance our program in order to provide the best services along with
an extensive selection of high quality products. |
| Will you help me with my site? |
| Yes! We can provide recommendations on how to
build a better online store and how to link to collectiblestoday.com,
as well as suggestions for great products to feature on your site. We
also send out a monthly newsletter with helpful info, merchandising,
and more. If you have any other questions, please feel free to send an
email to affiliates@collectiblestoday.com. |
| Can I use the collectiblestoday.com name and logo on my site? |
| Yes. Customers want to know they are buying from
a company they can trust. But please do not alter our logo in any way.
You'll find a variety of logos at http://vipaffiliates.collectiblestoday.com.
You must be an approved VIP Affiliate to use our logo. |
| Can I include specific information about your products on my site, such as product images and price? |
| If you would like a special link created, please
send us an email to affiliates@collectiblestoday.com. |
| Can I change and update my links whenever I want? |
| Yes, http://vipaffiliates.collectiblestoday.com contains
information for you to get ideas for new products to promote on your
site. You may change and update the links on your site at any time, based
on season or for any other reasons you wish. |
| Can I use your search engine? |
| Yes! In fact, our experience has shown that using
our search engine is the easiest and most effective way to sell products
from our VIP Affiliate sites. You can build our search forms right into
your site, giving your visitors direct access to our extensive database
so
they can search for any product. |
| Do I have to build my own online store? |
| We would prefer that you use a store you have
already built; however, we can provide additional services if necessary.
Please contact us at affliates@collectiblestoday.com if
you are interested in having us develop a Virtual Storefront for you. |
| How are orders tracked and credited to my site? |
| All links from your site to collectiblestoday.com
contain your site's unique Source ID so that every time a user comes
to us via your site, we know to give you credit when a purchase is made
in that visit or within 30 days after the visit. Make sure that all links
on your site are created using the link provided at http://vipaffiliates.collectiblestoday.com so
that they are tracked correctly. |
| How much will I be paid? |
| You will receive a 15% base commission on all
sales resulting from qualifying orders made on collectiblestoday.com. More information on the payout structure can be found at http://vipaffiliates.collectiblestoday.com. |
| When will I be paid? |
| You will be paid monthly, the first monthly period
starting on the date you are accepted into the VIP network. If your referral
fee for any month is less than $25, the total amount will be carried
over to the next month. Once you generate at least $25 in commissions,
a check for the revenue you've generated will be sent to you at the end
of the month for the previous month. |
| How will I monitor my sales from day to day? |
| We offer password protected online reports that
are updated daily. These reports tell you how many users clicked
through the links to collectiblestoday.com from your site, how many orders
were placed, which products were purchased, how much your site has earned
in commissions, and much more. You can use these reports to analyze your
sales and increase your profits. |
