Eros Boutique Introduces Affiliate Program
BOSTON, MA - Online sex store Eros Boutique is now offering affiliate
programs along with their unique sex toys and novelties.
In addition to the one-of-a-kind items Eros Boutique has to offer,
they also stock some of the top brands known in the world of adult
products, such as Stormy Leather, Skin Two, Torture Garden and Phallix.
As a result, ErosBoutique.com lays claim to nearly 1,000 affiliates,
and counts high-profile names like Dita Von Teese, Tristan Taormino,
Latex.com, Foreplay.com, and journalist Nick Denton’s newly
launched porno-literate site, Fleshbot.com.
"We pride ourselves on our unique items," Eros Boutique
"proprietrix" Sheila Rae told AVN Online. "We have
a full line of latex clothing from Skin Two of London, hard-to-find
enema equipment, a complete line of electro and medical toys, bondage
furniture, and leather/rubber bondage gear. In addition to the same
novelties everyone else carries, such as Doc Johnson or Swedish
Erotica, we also offer unique bondage gear, electro toys, enema
toys, medical toys, latex clothing, thigh-high boots, glass sex
toys and more."
In addition to the plethora of products available, Eros Boutique
offers a competitive affiliate program.
"The program is perfect for the person who has a site with
traffic and wants to turn that traffic into income with a store,"
Rae continued. "It is perfect for the person who wants to refer
their clients to a site where they can feel good about high-end
quality products. We have many groups sign up, and the bondage gear
[and] lubricants that a member buys help pay for the cost of running
the group with the commission the group makes. Their job is marketing
themselves or their store, getting traffic to their site ... not
dealing with the everyday duties of a store, customer service, packing,
shipping, credit card processing and so on. We do all the front
and back end logistics of the storefront; you just bring traffic
into your site and we will convert it into income for you. So we
both benefit the site that is turning income into traffic and, of
course, Erosboutique.com."
"Our average sale is much higher than an average affiliate
program because we carry high-end items - our average sale is over
$250," noted Rae. "We also change our products with the
fashion season and add over 25 new products a week. We offer 15
percent of the total sale commissions including shipping - with
the high average sale, it adds up quickly," Rae explains. "Also,
we work on the commission. If you send us lots of traffic we can
go up to 20 percent on your commissions instead of 15 percent. We
also offer our affiliates discounts for personal use, and depending
on the item, we offer our wholesale price with a small handling
fee."
Eros Boutique even offers customers a 1-800 customer service line,
open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Webmasters can check
their sales stats anytime through an easy-to-use affiliates section.
In addition, the store’s Web team is willing to work with
affiliates on a personal level to help them develop marketing ideas
to push products to potential buyers, including developing custom
banners. But that’s not even the best part.
"One of the most important things about our program is that
there are no pop-up ads or advertisements of any type on our site,
so your customer will not be annoyed," said Rae. "We felt
that was important in retaining customers and gaining new ones,
because let’s face it - no matter how effective people claim
they are - nobody likes pop-ups.
"We are looking forward to expanding our affiliate program
and bringing Erosboutique.com to the masses: mainstream America
U.S.A.," summed up Rae.
