Partnercentric news from the AffSpot Affiliate Forum NewsRoom
Our friend Linda Buquet at 5StarAffiliatePrograms.com has shared a story this week that just goes to show that affiliate marketing is a tight-knit industry capable of policing itself and taking care of its own. She shared this post by Eric Nagel that tells the tale of one merchant’s apparent attempt to cheat affiliates out of [...]

Vans Affiliate Program
I just got an invitation to the Vans program at LS. You can get a whopping 4% on shoes.
If someone at LS had done their job and showed Vans that other shoe sites, especially those where the manufacturer sells online (where margins are obviously higher because there is no other retailer in the mix) pay a minimum of 10% and some of them as high as 23%, maybe they would have put forth a program that didn't insult their potential affiliates.
Oh, yeah, a whopping 30 day cookie too.

4% - LOL
If that's PER SHOE... it's almost acceptable
Did the email come from an affiliate manager... or more likely, name-at-linkshare-dot-com

It came from someone at LS, but nowhere in the email did it say where the program is. If not for the sender's email address, there would be no way to know where to join.
I would imagine that Vans would be a decent program, but at 4%....it'll never make my sites. I can make 4.25x that rate on Vans shoes elsewhere and offer the customer Free Shipping!

The sheer gall at thinking you can have an effective affiliate program on full priced Vans at 4% is such a joke.
I'm waring a pair now, 1/2price from a chain store. In season, latest catalog. 1/2 price.
I can be on the chain stores affiliate program and sell Vans and charge my customers less and make more.
So sad since Vans is a division of VFI (they own lee jeans, etc.). Normally a pretty good company. This is one casee where they just suck.
