Subject: Lowest Price Affiliate Program

Dear Miss. Jackson,

Our advertising at brick and mortar gaming shops is not producing video game equipment sales. Those consumers are much more active in e-commerce. So, we at BargainEquipment.com want TFC Gaming to become an affiliate. Our program works in the following manner. You display our banner when customers view their shopping cart. This directs traffic our way. TFC Gaming earns a percentage of sales from that traffic. We pay a smaller percentage for increases in page views without sales.

Our FAQs explain that affiliates are not responsible for our products. We do ask that affiliates obtain a digital certificate with our preferred certificate authority.

Contact me with any questions.

Regards,

Mark Johnson

Marketing Director, BargainEquipment.com
