Ann Arbor, MI (TransWorldNews) April 1st, 2008 – Carbon Offset provider 4Offsets, llc announced that it has launched its Internet affiliate program with Share Results, of Montreal, QC.  4Offsets is the first US offset provider to launch an affiliate marketing program that allows online and land based businesses to promote 4Offsets for commissions on referred sales.  4Offsets, llc, is an Ann Arbor, MI based carbon offset provider, fighting global warming thru the retirement of market traded carbon financial instruments.  4Offsets seeks to provide a simple, one-stop shop for offsetting CO2 with market based solutions.

The 4Offsets affiliate marketing program offers, online and land based marketers, commission on sales resulting from their promotion of 4Offsets products.  Affiliate programs have been widely used by the most successful merchants on the World Wide Web and the company expects its network to be one of several key retail channels for the company.  Company COO Edward Yu points out that “Internet affiliate programs may seem unfamiliar to most people, but they are very similar to the way independent insurance agents and financial advisors have operated for years”. The main benefit of the affiliate program for 4Offsets is that it is a commission based model, which insures the company is not paying for advertising that fails to perform.  “The affiliate also benefits from the flexibility to add or remove ads instantly to their website. If we don’t perform, they can dump us tomorrow; try to get out of 6 month deal with an ad network.”  Mr. Yu said the company had discussed running its own program, but “we chose to work with Share Results instead, because they provide not only a turn key system, but the expertise that lets use focus on working with affiliates and not the software that runs the program.”

The problem of global warming is rapidly creating new opportunities for businesses that reduce or offset greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions.  “We hope our affiliate program will provide an easy way for entrepreneurs to start or expand a green business.”  4Offsets CEO, Fred Weiss added, “4Offsets takes care of the logistics of organizing, packaging, selling and managing offset customers, while our affiliate program empowers the affiliate to participate in the green movement with no financial investment.”  The company is planning several promotions for their affiliates, including an offset giveaway to help ensure that all affiliates sites are carbon neutral.
