Dear all,
I am writing to you with some rather exciting news from Olympic Holidays!
As we approach peak travel season, Olympic Holidays would like to offer affiliates an additional 3% commission on all transactions made between 1st and 30th June 2009 - in exchange for your marketing support. 
This is by far the best travel incentive around at the moment and with their vast array of products, extremely competitive prices and trusted brand name - you would be silly not to take advantage!
This means that June’s rates are as follows
Rates:
Was: 3% for Package holidays bookings - Now 6%
Was: 2% for Flight only bookings - Now 5%
Was: 7% for Hotel only bookings - Now 10%
To help with your activity, here’s a quick reminder who Olympic Holidays are, what they do and how best to promote their products.
About Olympic Holidays
Olympic Holidays are leading specialists to Cyprus & the Greek Islands. In recent years Turkey, Bulgaria, Tunisia, Spain, Portugal, The Red Sea, Goa & Gambia have been added as this tour operator has grown in stature among consumers. Even more recently, Croatia, Montenegro and Malta have been added to their portfolio of destinations - offering the same great value for money and service they are widely known for. They are now recognised as one of the best known names in leisure travel. Flights & holidays can easily be booked on-line with an amazing range of 2-5 star hotels, villas & apartments available.
With over 40 year’s experience, Olympic Holidays is a name you can rely upon for the perfect escape. From the beginning, their success has been built on expertise and dedication in providing excellence in service and choice. Over the years millions of British holidaymakers have come to know they can trust Olympic Holidays to give them a quality holiday at a competitive price. For complete peace of mind they are licensed by the CAA and they hold an ATOL license that protects you financially and is your guarantee of security. They are also members of ABTA.
Current Consumer Offers
Not content with offering affiliates an extra 3% commission, Olympic Holidays also have some excellent deals for their customers, to help you convert those leads!

- Lowest price guarantee. Olympic Holidays are that confident there are no cheaper like for like packages on the market, they are prepared to guarantee it! The contracting teams negotiating hotel beds are the best and most experienced in the industry. They benefit from excellent relationships with all the airlines in order to negotiate the best possible flight prices.
- Last Minute Offers This page is regularly up-dated to showcase Olympic Holidays best offers. Most are focused at the last minute market, so if your promotion is surrounding “Late deal / Grab a bargain” holidays, please send you traffic to this page.
So what’s selling?
- Due to current economic climate, Olympic Holidays have seen a considerable rise in the amount of bookings travelling to Turkey, Egypt and Croatia. These three destinations now equate to over 20% of Olympic Holidays total online sales.
- All Inclusive Bookings are up by 35% yoy, now accounting for 40% of online sales
- Holidays to Greece and the Islands make up the bulk of Olympic Holiday’s sales, accounting for over 60% of total business
Why promote Olympic Holidays (apart from the obvious commission increase!)
- Industry competitive commission rates of 3% package, 2% flight only and 7% hotel only (outside of incentive periods)
- Affiliate conversion rates of 1.5% (this is an average across all products).
- Average booking Value (Holidays) = £1000 giving you a potential earning value of £30 per booking (£60 during the incentive period)
- Full suite of landing pages, offer pages and hotel pages for you to deep link to.
- Inclusion in AF Travel Services - meaning that their results are present in holiday searches conducted through the AffiliateFuture package holiday search (log into your account to access the search box).
- Full suite of creative (including NEW Croatia banners).
OK, that’s it for now. Don’t forget this incentive starts on 1st June and ends on the 30th June. To take full advantage, we suggest you get those links up now so not to miss out.

Dear all,
It’s nearly bank holiday weekend… Hurrah!
Judging on previous British bank holidays, we have a feeling that the rain is a coming 
…
When the rain comes, so do the travel bookings - therefore we anticipate a busy old weekend on LateRooms.com!
As a little “Thank you” to our army of affiliates (and a polite nudge to give us an extra push), we would like to reward you with an extra 1% on all bookings done between midnight tonight (Thu) thru to Midnight Monday 25th May.
This means that you will earn 6% on every sale you make. This includes sales made through AF Travel services.
To help with your activity, LateRooms have provided a selection of resource material to help you on your way. These can be found in the merchant documents, when you log into your AffiliateFuture account. Resource includes:
- Full property list with deep links
- Destination landing pages
- Top 50 hotels list with deep links
- About LateRooms - key information you need to know and key selling points to help with promos
- HTML search banners
- Live availability via AF travel services (accommodation search)
AS with all LateRooms affiliate sales, the commission is paid on stay, meaning that you will be paid on bookings once they have checked in (accounts are credited on or around the 14th of each month).
To help you on your way, please see below for LateRooms.com top performing hotels (based on sales data for May)
1. Ramada Manchester Piccadilly (3*)
