Affiliate Opportunity
Do you like any of our designs? Would other people like them? This is your chance to easily earn a steady 20% commission on all sales made to the people you direct to our shop. Your customers can count on full customer support and 30-day guarantee for returns or exchanges, while you can count on our infrastructure to track their purchases and give you, as an affiliate, your due commission for the sales you've generated within 30 days from a customer's visit.
You will have access to a variety of reports, and all you have to do is expose our products to your target audience. We provide banners and text links you can use to promote our shop, and you can also read the information below to make your own affiliate links to specific products. For more information on the affilaite program, which is run by CaféPress, our host and service provider, check out the links provided above.
Before you sign-up, make sure you read the Affiliate Agreement, available here. Then to get started, visit the free sign-up page. During sign-up, please enter "intangible" as your Referral Store ID.
You'll then be ready to start advertising. Read some more information below about creating the affiliate links yourself, or go get some banners for advertising our shop or our main sections.
Creating Links
Once you have your affiliate account set up with CaféPress, you receive a Partner ID, shown in bold when you enter the affiliate central (login first). There you will also have access to reports, generic banners and other tools, so you will want to bookmark it. Back to the PID, it identifies you as an affiliate. By including it in a link's URL, your visitors are recognized as having been sent by you. Whether the destination is our storefront, a whole section, an individual product, your PID must be present in the URL.
To do so, browse our store until you find the exact landing page for your link, copy the URL from the address bar and add a "?pid=xxxxxxx" to the end of it, replacing the x's with your own PID.
For example, an affiliate link to our Naturalist Apparel would look like this:
And an affiliate link to a Mushroom Mug would look like this:
When the link already has a "?" in it, attach the PID with "&" instead,
When linking directly to a product you might want to use its picture to promote it. To comply with the Affiliate Agreement, all images are to be served by CaféPress' own servers. To use them as such, right-click the image you wish to use and choose "Proprieties". Copy the URL shown there and use it when you're placing the image in your website - do not copy the image itself to your own server.
Please note that it is important that you follow the Advertising Guidelines, as disrespecting them could result in the termination of your affiliate account (these are also mentioned in the Affiliate Agreement).
Tracking
You can use a Tracking ID in conjunction with your PID to track the efficiency of the different links and advertising places you use. A TID is merely any word or number that stands out in the reports to identify users who followed this particular link. Statistics based on the different TIDs you use are then available in the affiliate reports page. To have one added, simply type "&tid=x" at the end of the URL, changing the x into any descriptive word of your preference. It's best not to use any special characters here.
An affiliate link to a Mushroom Mug with a Tracking ID would look like this:
Banners
We have a number of banners pointing to different sections of our shop. They come in many sizes and it's easy to include your PID and TID using the simple auto-updating fields. You will also find a text link and store description there.
