The Y Catalog Affiliate Program

The Y Catalog features a broad range of high quality clothing, appropriate for everything from yoga to day-to-day wear. A wide variety of brands are included in The Y Catalog’s offerings, each boasting qualities and ethics of its own. A donation of $1.08 per item purchased is donated to a charitable cause, and there is a small category offering organic and eco-friendly yoga products, as well.

While green living is not necessarily a focus, The Y Catalog is the first, and only, cause-based yoga catalog. It was founded by Keri and Hermas Lassalle with the intention of using their company to better the world.

The website itself is where the company appears to be lacking. The elementary design scheme is both distracting and boring, featuring sporadic 'Y' logos that assault the eyes at every turn. The design does detract from the legitimacy of the company and products. The site is, on a redeeming note, easy to navigate and fairly well-organized. Product descriptions though are sparsely worded and only one photographic perspective on the products is offered. Shipping information is ambiguous until you put your personal information in, but the shopping cart process is simple and doesn’t require the creation of an account.

The Y Catalog ethical fasion affiliate program offers a solid 10% commission rate per sale, and they (who partner through Shareasale) offer various incentive programs as well. Banner ads are discussed but no samples are shown prior to joining the affiliate team. The cookie has a decent long lifespan of 60 days, so at least affiliates can be sure that they will get reasonable credit for links from their site.
