Commission Information

PSST, here's a little secret. Do you want to earn a higher commission rate on our Halloween Express and Sexy Lingerie Shop products? Who doesn't. And it's so easy to do. Just show us some love by posting our banners, text links, countdown banners, coupon codes - any of our promotional materials found in CJ or in these newsletters. We reward those affiliates who put us in prominent locations on their site with a higher commission level. Simply stated - "You scratch our back, we'll scratch yours". The more visible our banners are, the more people who will click through, the more money you will make.

Now's the time to post Halloween content. Don't wait until September or October. Last year, our seasonal sales increased beginning in August. People buy their yard decorations, haunted house accessories and other goodies early. So this is our incentive to get you posting our links.

The Fine Print

Please check the expiration dates on your codes. Most of our codes expire at the end of each month. As good as we are, we do sometimes miss a date change in CJ. If you happen to find an outdated code for our site please drop us a quick email and we'll get it corrected ASAP.

And finally, all of our codes are subject to our coupon policy which can be found on each of our sites. Here are the links:
