BeautyTrends is pleased to announce that we have added three new wigs to our already impressive array. All of the wigs are in our new summer catalog, are available at a good price, and come in a wide variety of colors.

The Emily (item 6136, $54) is the latest in our Revlon line. This short, full wig has many small waves for a fresh, new look. The Emily comes in most of our very popular Revlon colors.

The April (item 2308, $39) is our newest Carefree Me wig. This short, straight style is bobbed in the back for a young, hip appearance, and is an excellent value. The April is in stock in most of our Adolfo colors.

The Denise (item 5322, $49) is our newest BeautyTrends entry and has already become a smash with customers old and new. This wig is short and full and has a left simulated part. The ends curve inward, and the thickness of this beautiful wig covers most of the neck and ears. The Denise is available in a wide variety of Revlon colors.

BeautyTrends also now has a very stylish designer bag (items 4500 and 4501). This fashionable, lightweight bag is great for summer outings, and comes in two stunning colors: pearl and turquoise. The bag is free on orders of $99 or more, or can be purchased separately for $19.99 each.

This is just the start of new wigs and new ideas from BeautyTrends. Stay tuned!

(PRWEB) May 7, 2007 — Beauty Trends (http://www.beautytrends.com) is pleased to announce the extension of their affiliate marketing efforts with the launch on the AvantLink Affiliate Network (http://www.avantlink.com). Beauty Trends has been in business for 18 years and they are cut-n-dry leaders in their category. Beauty Trends distributes their unique and custom products including wigs, hair add-ons, hairpieces and hair care accessories.

Beauty Trends has been a long term and successful merchant on another affiliate network, but was looking to expand their reach. With a recommendation from their current affiliate program manager, Durk Price of eAccountable Marketing Services (http://www.eaccountable.com), Beauty Trends chose AvantLink. As Jessica Beller of Beauty Trends says: “We were really impressed with the RSS datafeed capability and the high value affiliates already in the AvantLink network. And the personal attention they gave to us during the negotiations and setup of our program was outstanding.”

Added Gary Marcoccia of AvantLink: “We’re selective with our merchant partnerships to insure that Affiliates find value in promoting them. Beauty Trends is a proven leader in their category with unique and custom products, so we’re very comfortable presenting their product line and high-converting site to our Affiliate base.”

Beauty Trends also elected to have Durk Price and eAccountable Marketing Systems (http://www.eaccountable.com) take over the day-to-day management and growth of the AvantLink affiliate program, in addition to continuing to manage their current affiliate technology provider. Ms. Beller also said: “eAccountable had a tremendous combination of every day experience, great strategy for growth and an excellent pricing structure for providing the services that made it an easy selection. They represented Beauty Trends prior to our purchase of the brand, and we are excited to be able to continue working with eAccountable.”

Mr. Price replied: “Beauty Trends has been a valued customer for 6+ years and I have always been pleased to be able to represent them as their affiliate manager. I am looking forward to many years of growth with Beauty Trends”

- Sticking Affiliates and Merchants Together
Affiliate and Merchant News, Interviews, Tools and Best Practices. It’s a Blog with Your Comments Too!

When beginning a relationship with a client I am always asked: “What affiliate tracking programs do you recommend?”

It’s a little like asking what car do you like to drive: “Ah the good old days before kids… when I could put the top down on my Porsche and I would go blasting around town…”

But I’m not dreaming and clients need succinct and thoughtful answers that show that I understand the market and I understand their needs and that I can recommend a solution that fits their retail product line and expectations for a return on investment (ROI).

As an affiliate program manger for 7 years, I have a substantial amount of experience with virtually every major affiliate program marketing, management and tracking technology. Basically I have found that I am recommending the same solutions over and over again.

So to streamline the decision making process I created a pricing specification sheet for my client’s use, as follows:

Affiliate Technology Options

Commission Junction

• $2,250 setup fee
• $3,000 prepaid commission
• Monthly: 30% of affiliate payout or $500 whichever is greater
• Market to 1.5M affiliates

ShareASale

• $350 setup fee
• $100 prepaid commission
• Monthly: 20% of the affiliate payout or $25 whichever is greater
• Market to 200,000 affiliates

DirectTrack

• $995 setup fee
• $100 a month for bandwidth
• No commission payout to DirectTrack
• No affiliate marketing provided

AvantLink (New)

• Datafeed conversion to search engine friendly RSS feed which affiliates can customize- very smart technology and great customer and affiliate support
• $500 setup fee
• $500 escrow commission
• Monthly: 3% commission
• Market to 500 high value affiliates

From this point in the discussion I tell the client: “Affiliate programs are marathons not sprints. Plan for the long-term, learn in the short term.” If they are receptive to this approach then I know I can bring them a solution that matches their goals.
