One of the things that I hear time after time at Affiliate Summit is “I forgot/ran out/didn’t think I would need business cards”. This is always followed by a frantic search for a pen to write down a name, email and url on something – napkin, paper torn from the show magazine, back of another of my own business cards. Trust me, this does not make a good first impression!
Business cards are incredibly inexpensive to get nowadays, in fact you can get 500 professionally printed business cards printed and shipped for less than $50 from places like PsPrint and Vista Print. At the very least, you can buy business cards at your local office supply store and print them at home.
Don’t be caught empty handed at Affiliate Summit East. Get yourself a nice stack of business cards and represent yourself professionally!

Affiliate Summit Success Tip:
Now, I’ve been to a lot of Summits over the years, so over the next week, I’ll be posting tips for how to make your Affiliate Summit experience a success! Today’s tip: Plan ahead! You really don’t want to be standing at the door to the Meet Market reading the agenda…you’ll miss out on great sessions and opportunities if you are!
Step One: Download this: AffiliateSummit2009-East_Schedule This is a simple spreadsheet you can print out on a single sheet of paper and take with you. I’ve been using this for years and our team swears by it.
Step Two: Decide what sessions you will attend by reading the descriptions in the Affiliate Summit Agenda. Mark them on the spreadsheet. Be sure to sign up and mark the parties you plan on attending as well…some of the best deals and networking happen here, so don’t skip out!
Step Three: Print out the schedule and take it with you. I keep mine folded up in my pocket at all times. (Be sure to select the “Print to one page” option to get it all on one sheet.) Not only will it keep you on track and remind you about events, it’s great for jotting down notes and scheduling impromptu meetings.

Demystifying the recent Bowlingshirt.com program term change
I’ve had a few emails in the last couple of days asking what the terms and conditions change was to the CruisinUSA/Bowlingshirt.com affiliate program. Two changes were made, but only one really effects that affiliates – a prohibition of bidding on trademarked terms. As of 1 August 2009, affiliates may no longer bid on the terms Bowlingshirt.com, CruisinUSA.com, www.bowlingshirt.com or www.cruisinusa.com without our written permission.
This restriction applies to all paid search arenas.
Thanks for complying!
Wade
