25/12/08 - Merry Christmas 2008

The power of blogging scripts means that I can wish you a Merry Christmas without actually having to work on Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope 2009 is a better (or if 2008 was really good for you - another prosperous) year for you. More

23/12/08 - New Years Resolutions

As Christmas draws near and sales (apparently) have peaked, it's time to think about what went "wrong" in the lead up to Christmas and what the plan of action for next year will be.

Yippee :-( More

22/12/08 - Was It You?

Okay, hands up - who was it?

The postie delivered a copy of NUFC.Com Toon Diary 2009 (Spiral-bound) care of Amazon as a gift. It came in a nicely wrapped package with a gift tag that simply read "canny bag of tudor". More

19/12/08 - Thanks (Again) Affiliate Window

The Raffle Bonanza "draw to end all draws" has been revealed. It was delayed from 2.30pm to 4pm yesterday, then to 10am this morning.

The video claims that over the last 8 weeks, £17,000 worth of prizes have been given away to a lucky 117 people. The prizes were certainly worth winning, with my favourite being a 46" LCD TV. Unfortunately, it wasn't destined for my living room.

Fast forward to the "draw to end all draws" results and I scooped a prize.... More

18/12/08 - Thanks To My Favourite Affiliate Network 2008

If the industry can have it's own awards, so can I :-D

I only have one award to give and it's on the back of the fact that Affiliate Window just sent a very posh looking case of wine and champagne over to Fiske Towers as a Christmas present. It was certainly an unexpected gift and I am very grateful to those concerned who arranged this.

This year was starting to look very similar to last year where I felt neglected but alas, Awin have saved the day and is the only network this year to acknowledge me and thank me for my work. And for that, I am extremely grateful. More

09/12/08 - What's The Matter?

A while back I got wind of something called the Matter box. As a freebie, I never expected to get anything. I didn't... up until a few days ago when I received an email saying mine would be delivered on Saturday. It was but I was out (typical) so it was redelivered today.

Matter is a Royal Mail venture which is certainly a great concept. In a nutshell, it's a box of goodies / samples designed to increase brand awareness and get people buying the products featured.

Furthermore, it's been designed to fit through the majority (I'm the exception to the rule) of letterboxes. More

08/12/08 - Thanks To Affiliate Window & Chocolate Trading Co

Eagle eyed spotters watching the Affiliate Bonanza results video on Affiliate Window will have noticed the competition for 5 quick emailers to win a mystery prize. At 10pm I thought I would have been too late but alas, I was one of the lucky few.

The mystery prize? It was a "Fun & Funky Chocolate Box" from Chocolate Trading Co worth £26.99.

Here's what's inside: More

01/12/08 - Stuck For Present Ideas? Get Them Nothing!

It's great to be affiliated with companies that just keep on delivering new products time and time again: people like Firebox and I Want One Of Those. Admittedly, promotion of these two has been non-existent in Fiske towers but I've got plans in the 2009 pipeline :-)

Anyhoo, whilst searching for Christmas presents for the father-in-law (to be), I stumbled across Nothing. Care of I Want One Of Those, you can buy someone Nothing! It's a cracking present idea that is particularly apt for those people that say they want nothing for Christmas :-)
