OCCA Announces Affiliate Program

COOPERSTOWN, NY (05/19/2012)(readMedia)-- The Otsego County Conservation Association has become a member of several outdoor retailer affiliate programs as a means of fundraising. Once accepted into a program, the organization is sent a link to the retailer's website which has a tracking code specific to OCCA. That code is then embedded in an advertising image for the retailer on the OCCA website. When visitors to the OCCA Affiliate Program page click on the link and purchase from that retailer it is recorded through the tracking code and OCCA receives a commission for that sale. OCCA only gets credit if shoppers visit the retailers' sites through the OCCA page (because of the tracking code).

The Affiliate Program page can be found by clicking on the "Donate" tab at the top of the OCCA website. Scroll down to "OCCA Affiliate Program" and then click on the "click here" hyperlink. Current retailers include Chipkos footwear, Gander Mountain, Ex Officio, Summit Hut, Rocky Mountain Trail.com, Paragon Sports, Sierra Trading Post, Road Runner Sports, Eastern Mountain Sports, Campbound.com, Patagonia and Danner boots. There are plans to include more affiliates as they become available. Help support OCCA by shopping for all your outdoor gear needs via the Affiliate Program page.

OCCA is a private, non-profit environmental membership organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation and sustainable use of Otsego County's natural resources through education, advocacy, resource management, research, and planning.
