WESTON, Mass. -- September 10, 2002 -- The Massachusetts Bay Trading Company announced the launch of its Yankee Trader Affiliate Program to reward web partners who assist in selling quality Massachusetts products.

The Massachusetts Bay Trading Company web site (www.massbaytrading.com) promotes the quality of Massachusetts products and offers a rich selection of products associated with the Commonwealth. The site provides one location on the Web where visitors and residents can browse and purchase the range of items crafted in state.

Among the nearly 400 products available at the site are Nantucket Lightship baskets, pottery, art, collectibles, games, books, as well as local foods including lobsters, candy and farm products.

"With the increased demand for Made in USA and Made in Massachusetts products, we have been receiving steady requests from complementary web sites to offer our products," said Bob Nilsson, president of Massachusetts Bay Trading Company. "The Yankee Trader program now provides a convenient way for partners to sell MBTC products and receive commissions for doing so."

To get started in the program, partners simply fill out an application and post a link to the MBTC site. No fees are involved and partners can conveniently track their commissions in realtime, by visiting the affiliates page at the MBTC site. The Yankee Trader program is open to anyone complying with accepted standards of conduct.
