We are thrilled to unveil today, S-Builder, our new, international, multi-channel advertising co-op available to all SFI affiliates. Picking up where SFI's EyeEarn Co-op leaves off, S-Builder gives you the ability to accelerate your path to success by purchasing shares in S-Builder.

Just as a small fire produces little heat, small actions produce small results. With S-Builder, you can turn up the heat as hot as you want to propel your business forward.

You'll be part of a worldwide advertising campaign utilizing:

• Magazines & newspapers
• Mobile devices (smartphones, iPads, etc.)
• On the Web (banner ads, blogs, pay-per-click, etc.)
• On the racetrack (as sponsors of NASCAR #75 Herd Racing)
• And more (other media such as TV and radio are also being considered)

No longer is a lack of time or marketing experience a roadblock to success with SFI. With S-Builder, you can simply plug in to our global advertising co-op and within a few weeks begin receiving signups (both SFI affiliates and TC members).

Just 72 cents a day gets you on your way. Units (shares) of S-Builder cost as little as $22 (and come with 280 VersaPoints per unit). That means that for just 72 cents a day, you can be building a residual income stream for you and your family. Indeed, S-Builder is one of most economical ways to build an online business ever!

Special Note: It's said that to make a great omelette, you have to break a few eggs. This was true with S-Builder. That is, to make everything simple and seamless for everyone, extra shares of the EyeEarn Co-op had to be eliminated. Effective June 1st, being an EyeEarner will qualify you for ONE share and one share only. Extra shares will no longer be available. Please note that for 90% of EyeEarners this will NOT decrease the number of signups you receive from EyeEarn. For everyone else, we regret having to make this change, but it is necessary for S-Builder to be successful–which we firmly believe will benefit you in a much bigger way than extra shares of EyeEarn would. We thank you for your understanding.

SFI and ECA SportsRetro is pleased to introduce a wide variety of new SFI, TripleClicks, and EyeEarn apparel–from embroidered dress shirts, golf shirts, jackets, and caps, to printed t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, jerseys, and more!






Represent yourself as a professional while talking to prospects about SFI. Easily strike up conversations when curious observers ask you about your shirt, jacket, or cap. And if you're prospecting E-Commerce Associates in person, be sure you are wearing TripleClicks-branded gear to make great impressions and increase your success rate.

To check out all the new items:

1. Log in at www.TripleClicks.com using your SFI ID and password.

2. Click on "SFI" in the departments list on the homepage.

3. To view just TripleClicks items, click on the "TripleClicks" sub-department in the sidebar. To view just EyeEarn items, click on the "EyeEarn" sub-department. And so on.

The ECA program is in full swing and thousands of new products are constantly flowing into TripleClicks. With the store growing stronger every day, there's never been a better time to get the word out about the deals, products, and services at TC.

To help you promote TC, we've launched five new banners designed to market the store to bargain hunters and online consumers around the world (Two of the five shown above).

To use the new banners, just log in to the SFI Affiliate Center, go to the "Banners For Referring TripleClicks Members" page in the Member Referral Aids section, and click "TC general ad banners." Follow the easy directions to install the banner on your site or blog.

By the way, if you haven't already installed a TC banner on your site, you can earn 100 VP for installing a TripleClicks banner on your Website or blog. See the VP Scoreboard for details.

We've just added a new department devoted exclusively to SFI-related items.

Instead of searching among general items in the TC catalog for specific SFI, ECA, and TC items (X-Cards, postcards, brochures, T-shirts, hats, etc.), now just:

1. Log in at TC using your SFI ID and password.

2. Click the "SFI" department located in the department list on the left side of the TC homepage.  All SFI-specific items will be displayed for you.

3. To narrow your result, use the filters in the sidebar. For example, if you're looking for TC shirts to use when contacting prospective ECAs, click the TripleClicks filter.

*The SFI department is for SFI Affiliates ONLY. You must first log in to TC to access the department.

Check out the overhauled Marketing index at the SFI Affiliate Center to find the marketing methods and aids you and your team members want. Now labeled "Mktg" (replacing "R&S") in the main menu, the Marketing index organizes Marketing Methods and Marketing Aids into categories for Referring Members, Sponsoring Affiliates, and EyeEarn, as well as the E-Commerce Associates (ECA) and ClickBucks Supplemental Income Programs.

As part of this re-organization, EyeEarn marketing aids and methods have been completely separated from the Refer and Sponsor marketing sections. This change lets affiliates interested in using EyeEarn to simultaneously sponsor affiliates and refer TripleClicks members easily find only the EyeEarn aids and methods they're looking for. Note: Though encouraged, participation in the EyeEarn Co-op is NOT required to use EyeEarn marketing aids.

A POWERFUL NEW MARKETING STRATEGY FOR YOU!

The ability to issue gift certificates to customers and prospective customers can be a powerful marketing strategy.  Giving an existing customer a gift certificate is a great way to get them to make their first purchase (or buy again if they haven't made a purchase in a while).  Likewise, giving a prospective customer a gift certificate is a great way to introduce them to TripleClicks, get them on your customer list, and create an immediate sale.

And you can do it very inexpensively, too!  This is because you set an expiration date on every gift certificate you issue.  If the gift certificate is redeemed, you just picked up a new sale or a new customer!  And, of course, in many cases, the customer is going to make a purchase larger, perhaps significantly larger, then the gift certificate amount, hence ensuring you a profit on the transaction or at least breaking even (while acquiring a buying customer!).

If the gift certificate is NOT redeemed, the money goes right back into your account upon expiration and you can issue it to someone else.  In other words, it's a win/win for you!

Marketing Tip: To start generating interest, consider a "Ask me about a free gift certificate" promotion (we'll create some cool T-Shirts if enough affiliates are interested).  When someone inquires about your offer, you simply need to get their first and last name, email address, and country of residence.  You then can go to the Gift Certificate Manager and issue them a gift certificate instantly.  To really impress them, you could do this right in front of them using your iPhone (or other Smartphone with a Web browser), literally entering their name, email, etc. and issuing the gift certificate while they watch!
