Since 2007, the Affiliate Marketing community has raised nearly $80,000 through Affiliate Summit selected charities such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada, March of Dimes, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Starlight Starbright Foundation.

In the next few months, Affiliate Summit will be supporting the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure again as team Affiliate Marketers Worldwide, takes to the streets to raise money to fight Breast Cancer. This September in Seattle, I will be leading a team of incredibly generous Affiliate Marketers who will be walking 60-miles, over the course of three days with me. Angel Djambazov of PopShops.com and JonesSoda.com, Jen Goode of JGoodeDesigns.com, Karen Garcia of GTOManagement.com, Adam Riemer of DowntownEcommerce.com, Anne Fognano and Tammy Carney of CleverMoms.com, Laura Przybek of buy.at Heather Paulson and Jen Campbell of PaulsonManagementGroup.com and Debra Banning and Jen Fluker of MarketLeverage.com are just a few of the terrific folks that will be donating their valuable time for this worthy cause.

Some people have asked me why I’m doing the 60-mile walk again, even now that I know what I’m in store for. I guess for me, it’s all about the facts. I know that without a cure, 1 in 8 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. I also know that EVERY advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant. I can’t think of a better way to use my feet so that one day men and women won’t lose their breasts or their lives.

I am still looking for additional walkers to take on Breast Cancer with us. If you would like to join our team, or make a donation, please visit AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com to do so.

On that site, you will also find:

I will be video blogging the 60-miles, so tune in September 12-14 for all the walk antics and stories.

If you would like to make a donation in any amount, you can do so online at Missys60MileWalk.com. I will be add your site to the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com Blogroll.

Lastly – here’s a painless way you can support affiliate marketing and the charity at the same time:

NETexponent, a leading performance marketing agency is launching an affiliate marketing research study conducted from the perspective of affiliates/publishers.

The goal of this survey is to give the affiliate community a clearer understanding of:

If you are an affiliate or publisher and would like to provide your feedback, I encourage you to take the brief survey. In exchange for a few minutes of your time, NETexponent will provide you with a copy of the survey results.

In addition, for every completed survey, NETexponent will donate $1.00 to Team Affiliate Marketing’s fundraising efforts for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day/60-mile walk.

What a great way to help shape agency best practices, strengthen affiliate relationships and help out a great charity at the same time.

NOTE TO AFFILIATES: NETexponent respects the privacy of affiliates and only aggregate information will be shared.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this long-winded post. Thank you to Affiliate Karma for providing the opportunity for me to place this information.

If you’re highlighting Father’s Day Gift Ideas in any way on your website, you should strongly consider including our six gourmet of the month clubs in your product offerings.

Gourmet Monthly Clubs offers six ways to show Dad how much you care not just once, but throughout the year. We’ve been offering outstanding gift ideas for Father’s Day for over 14 years now and I can tell you that our customers get really excited about being able to give something that isn’t a traditional one-time gift.

You won’t be surprised to learn that our Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club is the most popular of our six gourmet product lines, although The International Wine of the Month Club is close behind, followed by our  Gourmet Cheese, Premium Cigar, Gourmet Chocolate and Fresh Cut Flower of the Month Clubs.

Buyers can choose to send Dad anywhere from 2-12 shipments and our Whatever, Whenever Program offers the ultimate in flexibility and variety. Gifts can be sent every month or at specified intervals, included bi-monthly, quarterly, or on designated personal holidays.  Buyers can also combine the six clubs in any way desired to create a truly customized gift.  Many combine Beer and Cigar, or Cheese and Wine memberships for Father’s Day. Plus Last minute shoppers can send a custom e-Gift Announcement to arrive on Father’s Day (it’s right around the corner on June 15th).

Please don’t hesitate to read about our affiliate program and sign up here!

Cheers,

Kris Calef
