Affiliate Karma

Written by Kris Calef, President, Gourmet Monthly Clubs

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

Hello world!  My name is Stephanie Agresta, Founder of Affiliate Karma, and I’d like to welcome you to our new and growing community.

I’ve been in the affiliate marketing business for a very long time (10 years actually).  I’ve seen the industry mature and become a “traditional” channel within the online marketing world.  Affiliate programs are still a significant source of online revenue for many merchants. On this site we will feature the fabulous advertisers we work with and service.  We will also share information about the people, players, events and trends that drive the performance marketing space. We’re excited to have another platform to highlight all the good things and good people in our world.

Over the years I’ve had the honor of working with many great affiliate publishers. David Lewis was kind enough to provide a testimonial which highlights my passion for this space:

David Lewis, CEO/Founder, Cashbaq
“Stephanie’s enthusiasm for this industry is contagious. She demonstrates a merchant’s perspective that reflects her deep respect for publishers and genuine desire to work effectively with her partners and support us in our work.”

I thank David for those kind words. But most importantly, I hope to share my enthusiasm with you – both online and IRL. Check out these links to learn more about where and how you can network with the Affiliate Karma team:
