Crank Sports has developed some of
the most innovative sports nutrition products for high performance
athletes, and now you can share in our success by helping us spread the
word! Because of our
unique web-centric business model, we have the ability to offer
partnering opportunities that can't be matched by our competitors. If you
operate a web site that caters to the athletic industry, Crank
Sports invites you to enroll in our affiliate program that will allow
you to earn cash and/or free products in return for linking to our site.
Requirements
The eligibility requirements for the Crank Sports Affiliate program are
simple, you must operate a web site that caters to the athletic
industry. If you choose to participate in the program, then you will be
required to place graphic and/or text links to the cranksports.com web
site using a customized link that will be provided by Crank Sports.
What You Get
When a new visitor "clicks through" to cranksports.com from
your web site, they will become an Affiliate Customer of yours. You then
receive a credit for all cranksports.com purchases (including
e-Gel and e-Fuel) made by your affiliate
customers. Unlike other
affiliate programs that only credit you for first time purchases made
during the first click-through, Crank Sports Affiliates continue to earn
credits for all future purchases made by their affiliate customers.
Affiliate Payments
All cash payments are made quarterly. At the end of each quarter you
will be sent a check for the entire balance of your affiliate account if
it exceeds the $50 minimum. If your account balance is less than $50,
the balance will be carried forward to the following quarter until the
$50 minimum is achieved. If you leave the affiliate program before the
$50 minimum is achieved, then the outstanding balance may be applied as
a discount on any cranksports.com product purchase.
Double Your Earnings
Affiliates that are interested in receiving products (e-Gel and e-Fuel)
instead of cash will receive double the benefits. For example, if you
have a $100 credit in your account, you can elect to receive $100 cash
or $200 worth of Crank Sports products.
Reports and Tracking
When you become a Crank Sports Affiliate, you will be given access to
complete account activity and history reports. All information is
updated in real-time and is designed to allow you to see how productive
your linking efforts are. Using this information you can make
appropriate adjustments to maximize your earnings. The reports include a
complete history of:
- Click-Throughs
- Unique Visitors
- Page Views
- Affiliate Customers (visitors
that have created an account)
- Pending Sales (sales in
process)
- Completed Sales (sales that
have been credit to your account)
- Account History (all credits
and cash payments)
New Customer Identification
The Crank Sports Affiliate program is unique in that a customer does not
have to purchase or even join the cranksports.com web site on their
first click-through from your site to be considered your Affiliate
Customer. Crank Sports writes a cookie to the browser of each new
visitor, thus allowing us to identify the initial referral source. So if
a customer clicks-through from your site and returns six months later to
make a purchase, you will still get the credit (unless the customer has
deleted the cookie). Likewise, if a visitor
to your site is already a Crank Sports customer, then they are not
eligible to become an affiliate customer of yours.
