Selling Gildan Crewneck Sweatshirts Through the Bear Grips Affiliate Program

Most people who set up a Gildan crewneck sweatshirt shop are focused entirely on the piece itself: the design, the price, the retail markup. What often gets missed is that Bear Grips Pro Shops attaches an affiliate link to every single signup, free or paid, which means a crewneck vendor is also sitting on a referral business they may not have noticed yet.

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.

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.
