What Is An Affiliate Program?
Affiliate programs are the ideal way to make your web site profitable. The Designer Linens Outlet Affiliate program allows you to earn revenue from your web site by sending traffic through advertisements provided by Designer Linens Outlet (text links, banner ads, etc.) that you have placed on your site.

Designer Linens Outlet uses LinkShare as our Affiliate Service Provider (www.linkshare.com). LinkShare provides Designer Linens Outlet Affiliates with one simple interface to check all sales statistics on a real-time basis. Our Affiliates also have access to monthly statements and reports that detail impressions, click-throughs, sales, and commissions that you have generated with the program. Access to site information is password protected.

Why become a Designer Linens Outlet Affiliate?
If you are interested in making money with your website or with search listing submissions, the Designer Linens Outlet Affiliate program may be right for you. It’s free. It’s easy. And it pays well. Furthermore, you can rest assured that you are recommending high quality bed & bath products at the best prices around.

How does it work?
We give you a large selection of links to choose from – banner ads, search ads, text links, and even a product feed. You will earn 7-10% commission on each purchase made by a user who clicks on the link from your site to visit Designer Linens Outlet. Each day you can track the sales you’ve generated by logging into your account section on LinkShare.com. LinkShare will automatically issue you a check each month when your total Affiliate earnings are at least $25. In months when your earnings are below $25, they will not issue a check but will roll-over the amount into the next month’s earnings.

What does it cost to join the program?
It’s free! Free links, free advice, free tools, and best of all free added income!

Is my site eligible?
We review all websites – large and small. We reserve the right to refuse any sites containing objectionable material including but not limited to violence, pornography, explicit language and/or content. If you think your site meets our standards, we encourage you to apply today!

Unfortunately, we do not currently ship to locations outside the contiguous US states, nor do we ship to APO or FPO addresses. However, if your website is located overseas, but you cater to a US audience, then you are welcome to join. We plan to expand our service area soon, so if you do not meet our current criteria, check back with us soon.

How long is my contract?
Though you can cancel anytime without notice, you can remain a Designer Linens Outlet Affiliate indefinitely as long as you continue to operate within our guidelines.

Will you help me decide which links to use?
We’ll give you a wide selection of links and the tools you need to place them on your site. You may place them anywhere you think they will best work in order to earn you the most money possible.

We provide information about best selling items and best converting ads in the LinkShare interface. You know your visitors the best, but we will gladly work with you to help select the most appropriate ads for your audience.

Can I use Designer Linens Outlet’s words and images to promote the products?
Yes, our creative is your creative! You can use our product photos, product descriptions, headlines, promotional text or any other site content you think will help sell our products on your site. It’s up to you. Mentioning our name and using our logo will let your users know they are doing business with a professional, established company. However, you may not alter our logo in any way. All of this information is readily available in the "create links" section of the LinkShare interface. In fact, a continuously updated version of our entire product catalog will be available to you as an Affiliate. The program is very flexible and easy to use!

Is it difficult to generate links?
No matter what your skill set, the LinkShare interface makes it simple to add links to your site quickly and easily. There’s no designing, programming or content involved. You can choose to link to our homepage, directly to a product, or to an overall department such as down comforters, window coverings, etc.

How do you track the orders that come from my site?
The links that you get from the LinkShare website will include a unique identifier that is assigned to you. Each time someone comes from your site and makes a purchase, the LinkShare system recognizes this unique ID and credits your account. As long as the links you use come from the LinkShare website, you’ll be credited for all the sales you generate.
