Sisterhood of the Traveling Sweater Vest!

Written by FlamingoGirl on June 9th, 2010

Everyone who knows Brian Littleton knows of his fashion saavy and how he can make a sweater vest look stylin. Recently I bid on and won one of Brian Littleton’s of Shareasale’s sweater vests that was up for auction to benefit fundraising efforts for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk in Chicago.
My daughter Hillary was excited to model the official Brian Littleton sweater vest!

Several months ago Hillary created a one of a kind sweater vest for Brian, so she was honored to model this one.

Lisa Picarille came up with the great idea of a sisterhood of the travelling sweater vest, so who better to share it with first than her. Be on the lookout Lisa!

Take a cut in pay, stop selling so much or we will drop you!

From an email recieved a few minutes ago:

“As you may know from previous experience, XXXXXX works each month to a set budget. While in the past, if they surpass that budget, we have been forced to remove partners. This is never ideal and we want to prevent this from happening as much as possible. As of right now, we are on track to surpass our February budget. To prevent this, we are asking you to take a 1% commission cut through the rest of the month.

We ask that you opt into the lower-commission offer immediately, or we will have to remove you from the program. This is only a short-term adjustment, so we thank you, in advance, for your cooperation and understanding.”

So do they want us to make sales or not? If we make too many then they might go over budget and we will be removed. To make sure they don’t go over budget they want us to send the same amount of shoppers but get paid less?

I don’t understand companies that lump affiliate marketing into their advertising budgets. There should be no budget as they don’t pay out more unless more sales are made.
