GSI Commerce Acquires Pepperjam Network

Wow, this is pretty big news about two companies that are pretty local to me.  GSI Commerce (NASDAQ: GSIC), a leading Ecommerce solution provider has entered the affiliate network space by acquiring Pepperjam Network.   I am based in Reading, PA, Pepperjam Affiliate network is based in Wilkes Barre, PA and GSI Commerce is based in King of Prussia PA.  Both of them are within an hour of me so it’s pretty great to see these two local companies come together.

The details of the deal were not disclosed but what we know ist hat GSI Commerce acquired all of Pepperjam’s search marketing service but only certain aspects of it’s affiliate network.

GSI Commerce represents a pretty impressive group of online retailers.  Their strength has been in providing Ecommerce and Multichannel solutions.  Affiliate marketing has always been an important key to the success of their clients.  Last year, their affiliate marketing channel generated $100 Million for their clients.  We can only think that will increase now that they have their own network.  Especially since the Pepperjam network is so impressive in their service, their platform and their offers.
