HeartStrings e-Patterns Sales Affiliate Programs

Earn commissions for selling PDF downloads of selected HeartStrings patterns

Are you interested in making additional HeartStrings pattern sales to the growing market of internet-savvy online knitters craving the instant gratification of downloading e-patterns upon payment?

In addition to the hard copy patterns you now offer and sell, HeartStrings invites you to sell digital HeartStrings patterns. HeartStrings provides the internet delivery platform and there is no cost(1) to you. Just set up affiliate links for available digital products that you want to sell, promote them and earn commissions of 25% on sales(2) you make. There are no minimums and no on-going obligation. To retain active participation, you need only continue to maintain an active HeartStrings dealer account in good standing.

⁽¹⁾ Assumes you already have internet access and email service. You do not need a website or blogsite on which to place your affiliate links, but a site will give you more opportunity to make sales than just email links. You are responsible for setting up your affiliate links and the cost of any marketing you do to promote sales.

⁽²⁾ Since HeartStrings e-Patterns are usually priced $1.00 higher than suggested hard-copy retail (never lower than), your effective percentage of suggested retail will actually be more than 25%. The customer will be paying extra for the convenience of instant gratification downloads and added flexibility of using e-Patterns on Palm Pilots etc.

HeartStrings offers two e-Patterns Sales Affiliate Programs. The scope of digital product offerings and terms of each program are outlined below. You may participate in either or both programs. These affiliate sales programs are not intended to replace hard-copy sales, but rather be a channel to harness additional sales in an easy, low-or-no-cost way.
