Dear [CONTACT.NAME],
I have a few important announcements to make this month. The first has to do with our data feed. In order to make it more useful and efficient for our affiliate partners, we decided to make some minor changes to how it's transmitted and we've also increased some product information. This alteration will make it much easier for us to implement any changes that may be needed as they come about, but more importantly, it will allow us a greater range of flexibility in addressing any problems you might have with it in the future. If you encounter any hang-ups with the revamped feed or have any suggestions on how Sierra Trading Post could improve it to make it more relevant and useful to you, don't hesitate to contact me and voice your ideas. I'll be happy to take them into consideration and work on continued optimization.

The second announcement is to make up for any troubles the improved data feed may initially cause. We've decided to begin allowing the sale of gift cards through the affiliate channel! This is a step that we're currently working on, but it's not far off. We hope to begin commissioning on the sale of gift cards by mid-to-late July. This will give you another way to make more money by promoting Sierra Trading Post and allow you to increase conversions by offering an easy, appealing gift idea.

We have some big sales coming up this month, including a Fall Preview, Anniversary, Web Exclusive, and Big and Small Sale, so remember to post our dynamic banners. We supply new creative in multiple sizes for every promotion and they're changed out with each sale so that they automatically update on your sites. Also, I've expired last month's coupon a little early to be able to get the new offer out faster, so apologies if that happened a couple of days before the expiration date. Remember, don't hesitate to give me a call if you have any ideas or suggestions. Keep up the good work and have an excellent summer!
