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?

CAM Blog Podcast 2 - Rob Gettemy of 1M4JC.com

I had the chance to sit down with Rob Gettemy of 1M4JC.com today to discuss the launch of their new Christian apparel line, and the affiliate program that goes with it.
1M4JC (One Million 4 Jesus Christ) is interesting in that they are mission minded and have a heart for supporting Christian non profits and churches, both by tithing on their gross sales, as well as making a special offer to Christian non profits in their affiliate program that designates the tithe to that organization - making for a 20% total commission earned on sales. For profit affiliates can earn 10% commission on sales.
The flagship product at 1M4JC.com is a serial numbered (on a tag on the sleeve) t shirt in men’s, women’s and kids sizes, although polo style shirts are also available.
The affiliate program is built into the cart and is still a bit of a work in progress with more banners and link types to come.
