A red Belly Flop might taste like Blueberry, or a white one might taste like Chocolate Pudding. Crazy!

Belly Flop bags contain a lot of different assortments, and each bag is randomly packed. But you’re sure to get a good variety of flavors in each bag.”

hile this obviously isn’t a new product to promote and getting people to download the app won’t earn you commissions, it is a terrific added benefit for customers looking to build effective email marketing campaigns and who want to have the most tools available to manage and track their results. This info makes great content for blogs and it is an added feature that can be added to reviews and side-by-side comparisons between iContact and their competitors.

Greetings again Heels affiliates! I wanted to get a quick update out regarding the Heel of the Day widget in CJ. (Again, my apologies to Heels.com affiliates in PJN and GAN…we’re working on it…I promise.) Earlier this week we announced the addition of the Deal of the Day widget to the CJ interface, and now I can update you and let you know that we have updated the coding on the Heel of the Day widget to better track sales coming through this ad. We discovered the potential for missed tracking about a week back and decided it would be in our best interest, and the best interest of our affiliates to rework the code and make sure there was no chance for missed referrals. Below is the result…

Screen Cap Only – Go to CJ.com to Get Code for Live Widget

So, for those of you who were already hosting the Heel of the Day widget on your site, I would recommend logging into your CJ account and getting the new code for this widget. Also, as an early adopter of this ad for your site, we want to give you a reward, so email me with a link to the page with the original version of the widget before you swap out the code and I’ll hook you up!

If you’re not using this tool yet, I suggest logging in to CJ and checking it out. This is a great way to get new product delivered daily to your site and you don’t have to do a thing after placing the widget code! It works great side-by-side with the Deal of the Day widget as well, just like on the Heels.com homepage.

If you’re not a CJ affiliate, you can’t take advantage of these widget (the other networks will have them soon as well!) so go get more info on the affiliate program today to be able to start promoting the top women’s shoes!

You’ve been wanting it. You’ve waited patiently. Now it’s finally here! You can now get Heels.com’s Deal of the Day delivered directly to your site for all of your visitors to see with very little effort on your part! If you are a member of the Heels.com affiliate program on Commission Junction, you now have access to an advanced link that will dynamically change with the Deal of the Day on Heels.com. Check out a quick screen cap of what the link looks like below…

While the image below is just static (so you won’t see it change day to day, you can log into your CJ account and grab the full code to place an ad like this directly on your site. Then, just sit back and let it run. There’s nothing more to do. We thank our affiliates on CJ for being patient as we did some rigorous testing on this piece of creative to make sure that tracking is solid. We thank our affiliates on PJN and GAN for being even more patient as we work to adapt this creative for use on those platforms as well (stay tuned!). We hope you enjoy this creative, and be on the look out as we will also be unveiling an updated Heel of the Day widget for affiliate use, with more streamlined code to ensure that sales and traffic information gets tracked more cleanly than ever before.

Join the Heels.com affiliate program on CJ today to start using this awesome tool to earn commissions on every sale you refer!

Heels.com has decided to make a change. Before you panic, read on and know that change is not always a bad thing…

As you may have noticed you haven’t seen an affiliate newsletter touting the next big discount that Heels.com is offering. If you’ve been even more astute, you would likely have been to the Heels.com site and noticed at least one coupon/promo offering going on in the absence of said newsletter, and thought “What gives?” So, I am here with the answer to that question.

Heels.com will continue to offer coupons. However, we will be pushing them out directly to affiliates through the networks with much less frequency. The decision behind this was not to make promoting Heels.com more difficult for you the affiliate, but rather to change the focus and image of Heels.com on a wider scale. By focusing the majority of our efforts in our banners and text links to promote the high quality, high fashion brands that Heels.com offers, we step further away from the realm of discount shoe store and a step back to what Heels.com truly is: the source for the hottest and best women’s footwear on the web.

For the sake of transparency, I feel that it is also fair to say that with economic situations being what they are and the costs of manufacturing, shipping, and storing great footwear product on the rise, Heels is also considering what is important to us with this program. For us, unlike many programs that are out there, it was more important to merely change our coupon strategy to gain back some margin rather than to cut our affiliate commission rates. We are proud to be offering one of, if not the highest commission rates of all shoe retailer affiliate programs and we want to keep it that way.

So…now what? What types of offers are you supposed to promote? To me, the answer is simple. Let the products that we carry speak for themselves. We have some of the best names, the best designers and best fashion footwear available. Customers are looking for these shoes! Let them know where to find it! In addition, we still have the standard Free 2nd Day Shipping offering as well as Free Returns on all orders.

Another question that I’m sure is burning in your mind is, “So, does this mean that affiliates cannot promote coupons for Heels.com?” The answer: absolutely not! Affiliates can definitely promote any coupons that are out there (exclusive offers excluded), however, they will not be delivered directly to you in the form of a newsletter each month. So, that means you’ll need to be a bit more proactive. Sign up for the Heels.com newsletter on their homepage. Just check out the feature section on the Heels.com homepage. Follow Heels.com on Twitter. Check this blog. For those affiliates willing to go the extra distance to stay up to date with what’s happening at Heels.com, we reward you with several offers to promote at any one time.

With that in mind, I wanted to let you know about the latest coupons out there for Heels.com that are up to grabs, but this post has gotten ridiculously long, so you’ll have to check them out after the jump…

Mother’s Day is coming…

That’s all I have for now, but again. Keep checking back for more offers to promote!
