Dear [CONTACT.NAME],

Thanks for an excellent October! Sales are steadily rising and it's looking like it's going to be a great Q4! We ran an "8 Days of Treats" Promotion at the end of October and increased all affiliates' commissions to 8%. I have an inkling the commission increase had something to do with the spike we saw in affiliates sales at the end of the month. Since it went so well I'll give you a hunch that there might be another big increase coming up sometime in November for our affiliate partners, so keep your eyes open.

Last month I told you that we had some projects in the works, and I'm happy to announce that one of them is complete. The Sierra Trading Post Affiliate Demo Store is now live, so I recommend checking it out. Hopefully it helps publishers to easily create STP storefronts and place products on their sites. Our new banner project is coming close to completion and our new affiliate sight isn't far off either--I'll keep you posted.

The coupon for November will be Free Shipping on orders of $75 or more . This will expire on December 4th and will hopefully help you to increase conversions in this second month of Q4. And while we're on the subject of Q4, I wanted to remind you of the promotion we have running from now until the end of December:

1. Return Days Increased from 14 to 30 days.
2. Base commission raised from 5% to 6%.
3. Gift card commission increased from 1% to 2%.

This promotion is to make the checks we cut you a bit bigger and to give you more incentive to promote STP this holiday season. We also have another Mega Clearance Event and a Thanksgiving Sale similar to our 8 Days of Treats promotion happening in the coming weeks, so be sure to post our continually updating banners (located below). Happy Thanksgiving and thanks again for promoting Sierra Trading Post!

Best regards,

Kyle Johnston
Affiliate Manager
