PartnerCentric Launches Holiday Contest for Affiliates

PartnerCentric, the full-service Internet marketing agency that manages more top paying affiliate programs than any other company, announced the launch today of its holiday contest for affiliate marketers. Affiliates may register for the contest and sign up to promote participating programs by visiting www.holidayblitz2006.com.

A dozen of the biggest merchants in affiliate marketing are participating in this year's contest, called Holiday Blitz 2006, and are offering more than $30,000 in prizes to top performing affiliates who take part in the contest. This is the third annual Holiday Blitz contest sponsored by PartnerCentric.

"Holiday Blitz has proven quite effective in giving both our merchants and our affiliates that added boost that brings strong results, whether in commissions or sales, for the all-important fourth quarter," said Linda Woods, President of PartnerCentric, Inc. "Prizes sweeten the pot and challenge everyone to push themselves harder to promote these top paying merchant programs."

Participating merchants this year include National Geographic, Web.com, Niche Retail, Resume Rabbit, Restaurant.com, FootSmart, TravelersShoppes, DirectforSale, GreatSkin, Brian Tracy International and FractionPrice.

One grand prize will be awarded to the affiliate who brings in the most revenue while promoting all Holiday Blitz programs. The grand prize package is worth more than $5,000 and includes a $500 shopping spree at the National Geographic Store, a $500 American Express gift card, a free web site and hosting and much more.

Individual prizes being offered to top performers for each participating program include a $10,000 cash prize, a vacation to Costa Rica and the Panama Canal valued at $9,000, a laptop and an iPod Nano.

"Last year's Holiday Blitz brought a welcome surge of sales for our managed affiliate programs that was appreciated by our merchants," Woods said. "This year's Holiday Blitz offers affiliates another excellent opportunity to earn more and win big while doing what they do best."
