Fellow Shop.org retailers and associate members, 

I am writing because it has just come to my attention that there is some confusion surrounding my Paying for Performance conference call. Let me clarify the situation by stating several facts: 

1)      Neither Vintage Tub nor I get any direct or indirect compensation for this call. I do freely admit, however, that I get a lot of personal pleasure providing useful content to the community that has been so supportive of our business. 

2)      I asked Jeff Molander – a very knowledgeable person – to help me develop the content for the calls. I told him that although only retailers would be able to listen in on the call, I would allow anyone with relevant and actionable insight to present on the call. Of course, we do not allow anyone to pitch their products or services. 

3)      Vintage Tub does not charge anyone to speak or participate on the call. Jeff and I bear all the costs. 

I sincerely apologize if Jeff or I offended anyone by posting a detailed speaker list for our next call. The post was simply designed to let our members know who the call speakers are and what they have to offer. We will no longer post this kind of information on the Shop.org blog. If you are interested in participating on this call, you can write me privately and I will send you the details. 

My goal – whether it is organizing panels for Shop.org conferences, hosting networking dinners at Shop.org events or sponsoring conference calls for Shop.org members – is to get fellow ecommerce managers talking and sharing information with each other. Nothing more – nothing less. 

Sincerely, 

Allan Dick, Jr.
