DVD Titlewaves Enables Web-Site Owners to Earn Revenue Through Hyperlinks
Toronto, Ontario, October 3, 2000 - DVD Titlewaves, the movie lover's choice for online shopping, today announced the DVD Titlewaves Affiliate Program through collaboration with LinkShare Corporation, the leading provider of affiliate programs. This innovative program enables Web site owners to earn immediate and recurring revenue by displaying DVD Titlewaves banners, buttons or text links on the site owner's home pages.
DVD Titlewaves is offering this affiliate program in partnership with LinkShare, whose proprietary software (LSN 3.0) gives merchants flexibility in developing online distribution strategies. Through The LinkShare NetworkTM, when one of LinkShare's over 15,000 affiliates accepts one of DVD Titlewave's offerings, the affiliate earns an 8 percent commission on all sales generated by the affiliate, to be paid quarterly as soon as the amount exceeds $100.
"We want to make our Affiliate Program stand out from the others so that affiliates choose us over the competition." Says Edgar Sigal, Vice President of Insidewire Services Inc, the company responsible for the development and maintenance of the DVD Titlewaves site. "That's why DVD Titlewaves is offering unlimited return days to their affiliates." This means any customer introduced to DVD Titlewaves by an affiliate will continue to generate revenue for that affiliate when they purchase merchandise for as long as they are a customer of DVD Titlewaves.
How
the DVD Titlewaves Affiliate Program Works
To participate
in the DVD Titlewaves Affiliate Program, Web site owners register at
(http://www.linkshare.com),
at no cost. Then They are provided with an offer to become a DVD Titlewaves
affiliate and a selection of corresponding DVD Titlewave banners, buttons
and text links that link back to DVD Titlewave's Web site (http://www.dvdtitlewaves.com).
LinkShare tracks the hyperlink through its tracking, reporting, and
profiling (TRP) technology and collects data on number of click-throughs,
time-to-transaction, number of transactions, amount of transactions
and commissions due. The system will generate customized reports for
DVD Titlewaves for any time period, from a single day, to a specific
month, to an entire year.
"DVD Titlewaves has thousands of movies online, plus you can buy DVD players and we ship anywhere for free." Says Gordon Bard, Vice President of DVD Titlewaves. "With an inventory that is updated regularly and special offers on selected items, customers directed to DVD Titlewaves from an affiliate site won't be disappointed."
The DVD Titlewaves Affiliates Program is set to launch in mid October, just in time for holiday shoppers. The marketing department at DVD Titlewaves is planning a strong campaign for affiliates. "We're working with our LinkShare Account Manager on a campaign within the LinkShare affiliate network, but we're also planning to campaign for affiliates who aren't already a member of LinkShare." Says Amanda Harris, Project Coordinator for DVD Titlewaves. "Blending these marketing strategies will guarantee us a strong affiliate base."
