Anyone interested in participating in our program is encouraged to visit the Kush Support Merchant page for an introduction to the program including information about commission rates, tracking cookies, and EPC’s.

We have developed two videos and have uploaded them into the excellent ShareaSale Make-A-Video widget to assist affiliates in converting traffic.  We understand that there is considerable evidence that video converts … while many merchants have not taken the opportunity to develop the content.  We have two versions, one geared towards women with breast augmentation and the other towards natural breasts and pregnant / nursing mothers.

The categories of customers are also reflected in the banner categories that we have chosen. You can find banners targeting Enhancement, Breastfeeding, as well as special promotional banners such as Breast Cancer Awareness discount codes.

An example of the artwork is below:

We are offering a promotion for all affiliates where the first 25 affiliates to generate a sale will receive a free Kush Support plus a travel bag that can be used for demonstration, promotions or giveaways.  We hope that all affiliates will take part!

The offer is also out there for any affiliates needing to have custom content such as a blog post, podcast or banner developed to assist in their marketing efforts should contact us to determine a strategy that will ensure the most conversions.

As a final topic of the podcast, we discuss the changes that have taken place on Facebook recently with the usual response that millions have voiced, much of the familiarity with navigation has disappeared. However the belief is that over time it will become easier.

The big change however is in the Facebook Pages which have now become more like the profile pages on the site, so that instead of having to be passive and hope that Facebook users discover the page and information being diseminated, the information can now be shared proactively by posting activity in the news feed.

We invite all Facebook users to visit the Kush Support Page.  Here you will find all the latest information about the product including the fact that new colors have been added to the line, expanding to Pink, Blue, Green and Purple to go along with the previous choices of Nude, Mocha and Ebony.

So calling all affiliates!  We would love to talk to you about our exciting program.

MommyDaddyBlog.com is a site run by Sheena and Greg and launched the blog prior to the birth of their son Jayden in April of ’08.  The site chronicles their “adventurous journey through our newfound parenthood”.

During the time of her pregnancy, Sheena discovered the Kush Support affiliate program and had some contact with the company about using the product and using it as part of the holiday promotion. The ingenious part of the campaign was to target other blogs to place a banner on their site promoting the Three G’s.  Once a blog had done that, they could leave a messsage in the comments section of the mommydaddyblog.com and to earn extra entries make a tweet about the contest.

The winner of the size C Kush support was Nancy J at the Nan’s Place blog. Who stated in the comments;

“Frankly this is an excellent support even for non pregnant women who have large breasts and want to prevent decollatage/cleavage wrinkles . I wish this was around when I was younger! I’d definitely love to win this for my adult daughter”

Cathinka’s only concern is that Nancy’s daughter will be able to get the full benefit of a Kush Support depending upon her cup size.  If she has had breast augmentation it has been determined that the only size Kush to order is a B cup regardless of their breast size, and if pregnant or nursing a Kush one size smaller than the natural cup size will fit best.

Reaching out to Sheena and Nancy J will ensure that she gets the proper fit.

The holidays are upon us, and in Cathinka’s home country the holiday tradition happens on December 5th celebrating the arrival of SinterKlaas, who rides his white horse and with his helpers leaves gifts for children.

So from everyone here, Happy Sinterklaas and Best Wishes for whichever holiday tradition that you celebrate.

We look forward to a joyous 2009!

Kush Supports have been purchased by customers who are going through the final stages of the breast reconstructive process following mastectomies.  The product helps support the new tissue during sleep, in order to avoid the neck and shoulder aches that can accompany the late stages of recovery and beyond.

Actress Christina Appelgate has appeared in many media outlets including a vist to Oprah to discuss the diagnosis of finding the BRCA gene, which is an indicator of a patient’s susceptibility to breast cancer.  Applegate decided to have a double mastectomy and is now going through the very public process of raising awareness by telling the details of her experience.

Cathinka relates a personal anecdote about her Aunt Nell who during a previous visit here was overwhelmed with the widespread initiatives regarding breast cancer awareness, and compares it to efforts in her home country of Holland.

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is taking place in Kush Company’s home town of Charlotte on October 25 – 26th.

Kush Company is offerring a 20% discount to our affiliates and anyone who purchases during the month of October with the coupon code BCA – for Breast Cancer Awareness.  The discount is valid through the web site at kushsupport.com or by calling 888-OWN-KUSH

Having torrential downpours impedes progress and only adds to the challenge of unloading ….

We have added a new model to the Kush Supports team and we were able to capture some fantastic photography that really sets a tone that will communicate comfort and support to the particular demographic of women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery.

A special recognition goes out to the official Kush Photographer Angus Lamond from Charlotte, who has helped to shape the creative platform for the product.

Our affiliate program with ShareASale has added some banners and a special offer to entice conversions through those visits, in conjunction with the appearance of Kush Supports in the celebrity gift bags at the 2008 Emmy Awards. If you are an affiliate marketer with women focused sites, take a look at this new sleep support invention .. and capture the excitement of the Emmy Awards!

We are working on the overall creative platform trying to bring in some subtle changes to help shape the marketing of the product.  We want to soften the presentation across the board from photography, copy, and all graphic elements in almost imperceptible ways …. but will help communicate the ‘feminine” personality of the product.  Blurring the edges of transitions in graphic elements, by adding fabrics in the background of videos, and having more curved shapes in the materials demonstrates comfort and support, reflecting the product attributes.

Finally, we are working towards bringing a little “drama” into the videos with the use of deeper shadows and lighting control to achieve the “night time” effect.

To finish up this week’s program, we are pleased to announce that The Kush Report Podcast is now available via the ITunes Store and can be subscribed for automatic download and synched to portable MP3 players.
