Q:Why should I choose Good Vibrations affiliate program?
A:Being a Good Vibrations affiliate means being a part of the sex community and finding new ways to engage with your blog or website’s audience.

Good Vibrations is the nation's first and premier provider of sex education and top quality products. We are a multi-channel retailer that women and couples have trusted for over three decades to provide a comfortable, safe environment for finding sex-positive products and educational materials to enhance their sex life.
We’re happy to make custom made banners for your site and share our extensive collection of sex information, product reviews, and exclusive interviews, and GV Magazine content with all our affiliates who credit our site.

Q: How much is the percentage I make for commissions?
A: All new GV Affiliates will receive an initial 15% sales commission when they become an affiliate.  New affiliates will have access to banner artwork, exclusive discounts and suggestions on how to make their site(s) more profitable.
Affiliates who have posted 1 text link and 1 GV Banner on their website’s homepage are upgraded to a 20% sales commission.  The affiliate must contact Mandi directly with a link to their site once they have posted the GV Banner and text link onto their site. This will also qualify you to join our product review program.

Affiliates who recommend a friend to our affiliate program receive a 5% sales commission increase on any sale that their recommended affiliate has made.

Affiliates who become a GV Brand Ambassador earn a 25% sales commission.

Q: What is a GV Brand Ambassador?
A: Good Vibrations Brand Ambassadors are trusted in the sex community for their knowledgeable insights, product reviews, and active role in the community.  GV Brand Ambassadors receive a special newsletter about current topics in the sex community, a discount to our workshops, and are considered to lead workshops at our stores.

In addition to all this and the higher commission, GV Brand Ambassadors’ product reviews will be featured on GV Magazine and linked to from our product pages.

Q: How do I become a GV Brand Ambassador?
A: Anyone can apply to become a GV Brand Ambassador if they have a website dedicated to sexual empowerment and positivity.  To become a Brand Ambassador, you must first be an active affiliate in our product review program, submit links to 3 recent product reviews on your site, and feature Good Vibrations as the exclusive sex toy retailer on your site.

Affiliates who were GV Brand Ambassadors in the past will always be considered our Brand Ambassadors. However, this does not automatically deem an affiliate eligible for a 25% commission rate. Any affiliate who has 3 product reviews on their site and features Good Vibrations as the exclusive sex toy retailer can receive the 25% commission. Good Vibrations affiliates are considered valuable resources in our community, regardless of their exclusivity or commission rate.

Further inquiries can be sent to Affiliate Manager Mandi directly: amandas@goodvibes.com.

Q: What does your product review program include?
A: Our Good Vibrations product review program is open to affiliates who have posted one text link and one GV banner link on their website. The affiliate must contact Mandi directly with a link to their site once they have posted the GV banner and text link onto their site.

Once an affiliate has become a part of our product review program they will receive one email a month linking to a list of products that they are able to request for review that month.

There is a 2 product limit per affiliate at one time.  Good Vibrations initially sends you up to 2 products by mail.  Then for every product review you submit to Mandi, Good Vibrations will exchange it with another one of your choosing from our list of monthly products available.  Theoretically, affiliates can review hundreds of products in one month – but only have a limit two in their possession at one time. 

An affiliate can choose to review the product sent to them or to offer it as a prize in a contest on their site.  In either case, an affiliate must link directly to the product page and to our homepage once each in their post with the title or alt tag “Good Vibrations Sex Toys”.

If an affiliate would like to offer a product to their audience in a contest, we will ship the product directly to the recipient.  We only ship domestic.  For international shipments, we will send the package to the affiliate and have them take care of the rest.

Good Vibrations does not pay shipping taxes on free products sent to affiliates who live out of the country.

Q: What is the payout minimum?
A: Commissions are paid quarterly when a minimum of $50 is met. You may opt for a $25 or $100 minimum.

Q: How are commissions paid out?
A: Payments are made via Good Vibrations Store Credit, or through a paper check in the mail. We will ask you for your preference at the time of payment. Please contact Affiliate Manager Mandi directly: amandas(at) goodvibes.com to request being paid in Good Vibrations Store Credit.

Q: Who do I contact if I’m having problems or need help?
A: Email Mandi at amandas@goodvibes.com.

Q: Where do I log in to see my stats?
A:  Once you have received your affiliate code and password via email, you can login here.

Q: Can I get a special banner made?
A: Yes, let us know your size requirements, or any other ideas you have about the banner. We’ll do our best to have the new banners made quickly, please be patient if it takes as long as 2 weeks.

Q: Are you discreet about my information?
A: We assure complete discretion with your personal information. Our affiliate’s legal names are only accessed for check signing; no connection to your website or even affiliate code appears on this check.
