Big Shout Out to Eastern Mountain Sports

I’d like to personally thank everyone at Eastern Mountain Sports for recognizing an opportunity, and taking advantage of it:

We would like to welcome all NY affiliates to join the Eastern Mountain Sports affiliate program on Performics. 

Eastern Mountain Sports has always been a leader in the industry, especially in the Northeast. We currently have brick and mortar stores across NY and we also collect taxes on NY sales on our website, so the new law should have no effect on our affiliates and we encourage you to join.

That’s forward thinking.  Since EMS already has a nexus in New York based on their retail presence, they are picking up where REI.com dumped outdoors affiliates late yesterday.  This is a strong move, and is to be commended.

Further, EMS actually let it’s intentions be known.  As a NY affiliate myself, I dread the Zero Hour emails I’m going to get next week, advising me I’m being dumped.  Regardless of each merchants understanding of the new New York Tax law, they should be communicating with their New York affiliates, and very few are.

Thank you Eastern Mountain Sports.  And to Downtown ECommerce Partners, who brilliantly run their affiliate program
