Selling Gildan Crewneck Sweatshirts Through the Bear Grips Affiliate Program
- Every Bear Grips Pro Shops signup, free or paid, gets a shop and an affiliate link at the same time.
- Referring another vendor pays 10% of their subscription forever, plus $1 for every unit they sell.
- A vendor selling crewnecks can add a second income stream by referring other gym owners, coaches, or shop owners they know.
- Payouts run bi-weekly, and every affiliate gets a unique, customizable code.
How the Bear Grips Affiliate Program Actually Works
Every vendor who signs up for Bear Grips Pro Shops, on the free plan or either VIP tier, automatically receives both a storefront and a unique affiliate link. Sharing that link and getting someone else to sign up pays two ways: 10% of that referred vendor's subscription, for as long as they stay subscribed, plus a $1 bonus for every single unit that referred vendor sells through their own shop.
Why a Crewneck Vendor Is Well Positioned to Refer Others
Anyone running a crewneck sweatshirt shop for a gym, a team, a school group, or a business already knows other people running similar operations. A gym owner selling crewnecks to members knows other gym owners. A booster club parent selling crewnecks for a fundraiser knows other booster parents at other schools. That existing network is exactly who the affiliate program is built for, and a single referral can add ongoing income with zero additional printing or design work.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.What a Single Referral Is Actually Worth Over Time
| Referred vendor's plan | Monthly commission (10%) | Plus $1 per unit they sell |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Service VIP ($59/mo) | $5.90/mo, ongoing | Added on top, per unit sold |
| Done-For-You VIP ($105/mo) | $10.50/mo, ongoing | Added on top, per unit sold |
A referred vendor who sells 100 units a month adds another $100 in per-unit bonuses on top of the subscription commission, all without the referring vendor printing anything themselves.
How to Share the Link and Get Paid
- Every affiliate gets a unique, customizable code. Updating the code also updates the shareable link, so it can match a brand or handle.
- Early on, a 10% discount code is a common way to give prospects a reason to click through and sign up.
- Payouts run bi-weekly across every plan tier, with no minimum payout threshold blocking a small referral from getting paid.
