Christmas and New Year Extended Validations Policy

 

 

 

Hi all,

In order to better help merchants and affiliates at this busy time, we will today action an increase in our Sale Validation period for standard affiliate sales programs. Any affiliate sales generated from today until the 30th December 2011 will have an extended validation period of 14 days (336 hours) rather than the current standard 5 day (120 hour) validation period. This will enable merchants to better manage their accounts and validate sales after and around the Christmas period. On the 30th December we will return to our standard 5 day validation policy for standard setup affiliate programs. Second level programs will operate as normal.

The change in validation period will not affect payments to affiliates and/or allocation of merchant funds to affiliate accounts via our post-payment agreement.

Should you have any questions please contact your account manager or the AffiliateFuture Support desk at AffiliateFuture Support Desk – Powered by Kayako Fusion Help Desk Software

Top tips to make more money this Christmas!

    

With Christmas fast approaching we have come up with some top tips to help you make more money this Christmas:

Nobody likes to hang around a scrooge in a run up to Christmas in the real world, so make sure you’re not labelled one online either.

Consider a Christmas theme takeover for your website; introduce Christmas online games and puzzles. This will give your website a real feel good factor with users and keep them on your websites for longer, increasing the chance of a sale.

Set up a designated Christmas page containing last minute gift ideas, top cooking recipes and fun family games to play this Christmas. Monetise where possible!

Get talking to networks and merchants in setting up payment tiers in the run up to Christmas, or put it bluntly and ask for more commission.

Keep up to date with the ‘must have’ presents this Christmas (computer games, gadgets, DVD box sets) and feature them on your site, linking selling products at every opportunity.

Put other complimentary products on ‘thank you’ pages as a customer goes to leave your site, to entice them to revisit.

Keep your social marketing content (facebook, twitter, youtube) up to date with Christmas offers.

Be engaging with your customers and let your website reflect the Christmas spirit!

Stay tuned for exciting Christmas incentives this season.
