Use this handy chart to help you decide which Reseller Program is right for you.  For further clarification, see the help topics below.   

Potential for Profit:
Basically, the reason why the Wholesale Program offers the most potential for profit:
(1) there is a higher markup on the obstacles offered
(2) your customers have no association with Affordable Agility, so they will be going back to you for more equipment.  
(3) your customers don't have to wait to get the obstacles - they can buy them when they seem them.

The Drop-Ship Program has a medium-level markup on the obstacles that are offered, and they most likely will go back to you (or your website) for more equipment.  But there is a possibility they will see our name on our Assembly Instructions in the box and for repeat orders, go directly through us.  We do not offer Drop-Ship Equipment with special assembly instructions.  But we do offer this anonymity with our Wholesale selection.  

The Affiliate Program offers a small commission on the total order that someone places, when they click through on the banner ad placed on your website and places an order.  While they can order anything (there is no limited selection, as with the Drop-Ship or Wholesale Programs) the chance of them returning to us for future orders, and not going through your website link, is high.  

Keep in mind that with the Affiliate Program, especially, your chances for making money is directly related to the traffic your website gets, and where (or how often) you place our banner/link.  We have some affiliates who put our link in a very hidden page, and wonder why they are not getting any sales.  We have others who put the link on their home page, or on all the pages, and they are making a high commission check every month.

Investment in Money:
The Wholesale Program involves an investment in money because you need to order the obstacles and stock them for your customers, either to put in a store, or be able to ship out. The Drop-Ship Program involves no investment in money, unless you have a website and cannot do the shopping cart programming yourself.  The Affiliate Program is by far the easiest, as long as you are willing to send people off your website to come to ours.

Must have a Website?
A website (preferably where dog-lovers frequent) is necessary for the Affiliate program (though if you are very ambitious, you can 'spread your affiliate link' in emails and discussion forums instead).  It is optional for the Drop-Ship and Wholesale Programs.

Must have a Store Location?
If you have an establishment that can physically sell things, the Wholesale Program would be your best option.  If you don't want to do this, you can give your clients Drop-Ship catalogs instead, take their orders (and money), and we will ship the obstacles to their door.

Must physically handle the items?
Only with the Wholesale Program do you have to physically handle/display/ship the obstacles.

Connection with Affordable Agility?
As explained above under the "Potential for Profit" section, the one program where customers have absolutely no connection with Affordable Agility is with the Wholesale Program.  This is the best program for people who are the most motivated to make money selling agility equipment.
