sales (on-line, fax & mail). This Includes Construction & Study plan

What is Home
Concepts' referral period? - The referral period is set at !80 days. Most
affiliate programs do not offer such a lengthy referral period - many last only
1 to 30 days. Why is ours so long?
We want to treat our Affiliates fairly.
Home plan & remodeling web sites are among the most extensively browsed
sites on the internet. Our experience indicates our customers may return
frequently over a period of several weeks prior to making a purchase. It's only
fair that our Affiliates get credit where credit is due.

What does a 180

up to 180 days after you send someone to HomeConcepts.ca. For example, if a
customer visits your site and clicks on our banner ad and doesn't buy anything
right away, but purchases a plan at HomeConcepts.ca later (up to 180 days), you
still get credited for the sale.
