New

Affiliate programs for NZ nurseries & online
plant stores
NZ Plant Pics is
currently searching for New Zealand nurseries and online plant suppliers
who are interested in free advertising on the NZ Plant Pics website.
NZ Plant Pics receives

from. We want to use affiliate programs to send these people to your
web site.

a new customer (i.e. you make a sale), you pay a commission back to
your affiliate.
Everyone is happy!
Affiliates can make money from their website with little or no overheads

activity of your growing numbers of affiliates and pay out commission
for you.
The four major 'portal'
sites dealing with New Zealand affiliate programs are:
