October has been great for AC Lens affiliates and we should see an even better second half. We’re having a site-wide Fall sale with savings up to 25% off our already low prices. Coupons may not be combined with the sale offer but the grocery coupon special can be used the rest of the month.

Check Commission Junction or ShareASale for fall sales creatives.

We’ll have more as the month progresses. Be sure to feature AC Lens in your Back to School sections, homepage, or any where else you plan to push Back to School shoppers this year.

July has slowed down as expected with the July 4th holiday and an overall slower shopping pace in general. The 2nd half should pick up as we get closer to Back to School. We have a solid coupon to close out the month before going full speed ahead for the Back To School shopping season.

Be sure to prepare for the BTS season by featuring us in your Back To School sales pages and advertising. Link to our high converting Back to School Sale page for your best results. We’ll be having a sitewide sale that can be combined with coupons, free shipping, and rebates in August. Stay tuned to the blog for more details.

June slowed down considerably without the sale but we still saw 35% year over year growth in commissions paid. July will most likely be slower than May as well but we have Back to School right around the corner which means big time contacts sales. Prepare for the season by updating your CPC campaigns, getting your SEO in order, or starting to feature AC Lens in your health sections.
