Green PolkaDot Box recently completed the beta testing phase on its "affiliate" marketing strategy that proved: (1) the Company's ability to attract new membership through the endorsement and promotion efforts of online bloggers, organizations, websites and electronic newsletters at (2) an initial acquisition cost of $15, plus recurring commissions on product orders. Green PolkaDot Box found that web savvy affiliates can be powerful marketing allies; in some cases referring up to thousands of members each.

While the Company pays each affiliate a $15 commission for each new member referral, it takes in $50 in new membership fees.
