CAMBlog Podcast - Justin Palmer from C28 on Canvas project and Christmas rush
Oct 30, 2008 Christian Affiliate Programs
I had the chance to spend some time with Justin Palmer of C28.com today on the Podcast and he had some cool stuff to talk about. Recently, C28 launched a project called “Canvas” that encourages Christian artists to submit their designs for inclusion in new limited edition t shirt print runs, and lets visitors vote on the designs they like most. The 20 most popular designs in the initial round just went to print and the contest continues.
We also talked about a new special offer for non profit ministries and churches to earn higher commissions working with C28. We’re offering a 20% commission on all sales to churches and ministries with non profit status.
Justin also spoke to the fact that fully 60% of C28’s sales occur between November 1 and December 31.
If you are a Christian affiliate looking for an awesome apparel and accessories merchant that appeals to young Christians, you should be working with C28 for sure.
The C28 Affiliate Program is hosted on the Avant Link network and offers a 15% commission on all sales. A variety of banners and text links are provided as well as a product feed that is updated daily.
My company GTO Management provides management services for the program.

C28 Affiliate Program adds new banners
Sep 9, 2008 Christian Affiliate Programs
I just finished uploading 2 sets of banners for the C28 Affiliate Program into AvantLink.
The banners come in a variety of sizes and come with 2 messages as seen below. The “Wear your Faith” set is intended for general purpose use by secular and Christian affiliates alike. The “Support this Ministry” themed set is intended for use by non-profit Christian ministries to encourage visitors to support their ministry through commissions from C28 sales referred through their link. We have some big plans along these lines that we’ll be announcing shortly that I think will be awesome for churches and independant youth ministries.
As I said, there are a variety of sizes of banners to choose from in each of these themes from 120×60 - 728 x 90. If you aren’t working with C28.com yet - you should check them out. If your site is Christian muisic oriented or appeals to Christian youth and young adults C28 should do really well for you.

Are C28 Applicants having trouble getting approved by AvantLink?
Jul 9, 2008 Christian Affiliate Programs
I launched C28.com’s affiliate program in AvantLink about a month back and we’ve announced it here and had a big email go out to a couple of hundred Christian affiliates announcing it.
Have any of you had trouble getting rejected by AvantLink?
I know that they are a bit harder on applications than many networks like CJ and Shareasale, but I want to make sure folks are getting in if they want to work with C28.
If you have had an issue with this - please email me through the Contact Us page on the site.
God Bless,
Wade

Christian Affiliate Program Spotlight: C28 Christian Apparel
Jul 8, 2008 Christian Affiliate Programs
I took some time late last week to chat with Justin Palmer of C28.com, who recently re-launched their affiliate marketing effort with a new program on the AvantLink afiliate network. For the record, I am managing the affiliate program for C28 through my company GTO Management. I’m really excited about this program for a number of reasons.
Justin and I chatted about the C28 brand (essentially a Hot Topic, Zumiez, or Above the Belt-style Christian Lifestyle retailer) and how they use their physical locations to share the Gospel. We talked about the C28 commitment to customer service, about their product selection (1500+ products) and about their business cycles (big back to school and Christmas shopping rushes)

C28 Affiliate Program Launches on AvantLink
Jun 17, 2008 Christian Affiliate Programs
I covered this on ChristianAffiliateNews yesterday, but I wanted to make sure that the word got out.
My partners and I at GTO Management have just re-launched the affiliate program for C28.com. If you aren’t familiar, C28 is a Christian multi channel retailer with a combination of their C28.com website and physical locations that are the Christian equivalent of mall stores like Zumiez.
C28 is a really cool company that is committed to seeing the Gospel preached to the nations. They look to inspire “sharing” conversations through their bold Christian clothing and accessories including t shirts, sportswear, hoodies, jewelry, shoes, and more. They are very committed to customer service and they do some things that I love in their ecommerce process that I noticed when I placed a test order. The “thank you” page and email that I received included a picture and a personal greeting from my customer service representative - Also included on the note was a prompt to send any prayer requests.
C28 is probably the best known and most established of the Christian clothing manufacturers targeting youth and young adults and if you have this traffic on your site, you should be working with them.
We chose to launch the C28 affiliate program in the AvantLink affiliate network for a few reasons. I am really impressed with some of the linking tools these guys offer centered around the C28 product datafeed including a store builder as well as raw feeds. One of the things that really impressed me the most is their Affiliate Link Encoder (ALE) technology that is awesome for content sites, bloggers and reviewers.
As an affiliate with the ALE script in place on your site, you can write reviews or articles on C28 products and link directly to them ( no need to look up individual product links ) and your visitors will be tracked to your site. Here is an example for you:
My favorite shirt of all at C28.com is the “Made to Love God Forever” t shirt - I love the bold statement that it makes to anyone who sees me wearing it. In fact - I was walking to lunch today and have a conversation with a guy on the street who saw the shirt and asked me what I thought it meant….
If you mouse over the link.. you will see the affiliate tracking in place. That is a seriously slick tool for people who like to blog or write reviews.
It’s an awesome reason to join AvantLink as well… as this linking technology works with any direct link to any active AvantLink merchants site.
C28 is paying commissions of 15-20% depending on sales volume. We’re looking for affiliates who will work hard to help us reach the world and share in our success. Are you interested?
