Yes, to New York affiliates cause we love NY

Are you living and working as an affiliate in NY? Are you selling and promoting home and office furniture items? Well you should!

Incase you missed the latest news, NY wants to impose a NY sales tax on shipped items to New York residents via affiliate marketers promoting online merchants. Now what kind of smart idea is that (well perhaps for the pocket of the person or persons who thought of it, I’m sure )

 Incase you have not heard about this new NY tax law yet, feel free to click on the quick links below for more info. However this is mainly currently addressed to New York based affiliates living or doing business in NY.

We don’t like it and glad Amazon is fighting back. I predict Amazon will get their way and the affiliates and merchant will win, otherwise be ready for a big backlash from many merchants, customers and affiliates that will definitely voice their concerns on this in the next few months. There are already a few merchants that panicked such as Overstock which terminated all affiliates since day one. I think it was a bad move on their part as they do not realize affiliates and their other partners are not only perhaps Overstock customers too, but they cut right into affiliates and partners income stream too quick and now those once loyal partners may be telling 10 friends ’stay away from the O’

As an OPM we have been advising and consulting to a few clients to find ways to keep their affiliate partners via tracking, the yahoo cart, scripts or through the networks to find who their affiliate partners are and not to terminate affiliates, cause if you terminate an affiliate just because you don’t want the headache, you might not get them back later.

As for EverythingFurniture stores, at this time all new or existing New York affiliates are welcomed to partner with us and promote all our furniture stores and items via datafeeds, coupons, blogs, etc, as you will not be terminated or removed from our programs.

This includes EverythingFurniture.com, EverythingOfficeFurniture.com or TheFurnitureParadise.comthrough our network partners shareasale.com or performics.com

We are opposed to this unfair NY tax imposed on merchants and NY customers via NY affiliates. As an industry we will voice our concerns to oppose this, but meantime we will stand behind our affiliate partners while solutions are found and you are promoting our furniture stores.
