Good Morning
We are pleased to announce that we have brought our payment for global (non UK originated bookings) in line with our UK programme, meaning we will now pay the standard 2% commission of the GBP booking value on any booking in any territory, excluding the great introductory 3% commission for three months for all new affiliates.
This development is really important for us, as publishers can now be rewarded equally for all sales made in and outside of the UK. Bringing the remuneration process in line with our UK programme should make it easier for publishers to understand our programme and know exactly what they will be earning from the bookings they make. We are committed to our affiliate programme and to giving publishers great opportunities to maximise their earning potential and over the coming months we will be communicating more and more special offers from around the world.
The change came into play on 24 February so all transactions from this date will be paid for at the 2% rate, which is fantastic new for our publishers!
If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me.

Dear all,
I am writing to you with some more great news from Olympic Holidays!
As a little “thank you” Olympic Holidays are extending their increased commission offer to affiliates, through the month of February. This means that you can earn an additional 2% commission (total 5%) on all PACKAGE HOLIDAY transactions, until the 28th February 2010.
As Turkey has just been announced as January’s top selling travel destination and Olympic Holidays specialise in holidays to Turkey, you would be mad not to take advantage.
On top of the whopping 5% commission they are paying, Olympic Holidays are also upping their game when it comes to consumer offers and discounts - which in turn, will increase your conversion.
This includes their main message “Save up to 35% on brochure holidays and high street prices”….
See bellow for examples of their best offers….
4* All inclusive Turkey from £309pp
Stay at the L’Ambiance Hotel in Bodrum, departing from Stansted on 2nd May - for 7 nights!

Dear all,
I am writing to you with some great news from Olympic Holidays!
As we approach peak travel season, Olympic Holidays would like to offer affiliates an additional 2% commission (total 5%) on all PACKAGE HOLIDAY transactions, made between 1st January and 31st January 2010- as a little incentive to drive those sales. 
Olympic Holidays are also running a great consumer offer in January - giving up to 17% off summer 2010 holidays, so there really is no reason why you shouldn’t give them a push this travel season.
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.
Noticeable trends in 2009 (predicted to continue into 2010)
Due to current economic climate, Olympic Holidays saw a considerable rise in the amount of bookings travelling to Turkey, Egypt and Croatia in 2009. These three destinations equated to over 20% of Olympic Holidays total online sales.
All Inclusive Bookings were also up by 35% yoy, which accounted for 40% of online sales
Holidays to Greece and the Islands remained the main bulk of Olympic Holiday’s sales, accounting for over 60% of total business in 2009.
So why promote Olympic Holidays
- Industry competitive commission rates of 3% package, 2% flight only and 7% hotel only (outside of incentive periods)
- Affiliate conversion rates of 1.6% (this is an average across all products).
- Average affiliate EPC of 60p.
- Average booking Value (Holidays) = £1000 giving you a potential earning value of £30 per booking.

OK, that’s it for now. Don’t forget this incentive starts on 1st January and ends on the 31st January 2010. To take full advantage, we suggest you get those links up now so not to miss out.
