Animetion starts affiliation schemes As part of our ongoing evolution and communication
with retailers, we have now started entering affiliation schemes.
This will not affect the look of the site drastically and will
mainly be restricted to our retailers and links sections. Any
redesign of our main page will keep the affiliate banners to a
minimum as we do not intend them to overwhelm the look of the site.
We hope to spread awareness of retailers and designers by entering
into affiliation schemes, and spreading awareness can only be a good
thing. |
