Moosejaw's affiliate program came under our management in 2007 and was launched on CJ and AvantLink, a network that caters specifically to outdoor gear merchants.

"Our challenge with Moosejaw was to sell the experience and the culture of the brand," said Stephanie Harris, Chief Operating Officer at Schaaf-PartnerCentric.

The Strategy: Have Fun"Our real job was to get affiliates excited about this merchant and to let them see that this merchant is willing to offer contests and promotions" Harris said. “We look for affiliates who have a sense of humor and who match the Moosejaw culture. “

This strategy enabled Harris andher team to attract more affiliates from the outdoor gear space.

"We were able to differentiate Moosejaw from the competition,”Harris said.

"Affiliates came to see the value of working with Moosejaw because here's a merchant who is willing to go the extra mile and isn’t afraid to try new media or a new idea.”
