There I was saying how few and far between the incentives have been lately and then Red Letter Days go and launch their set of Christmas promotions!

In a Gadget Show style, they have oodles and oodles of prizes to give away, with the flagship prize being something that they do best - once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
 
Win a South African Trip of a Lifetime

The top prize is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for two to South Africa for 5 nights. Return flights to Cape Town are included as is fully inclusive car hire for the duration of your stay, 5 Nights accommodation at the 4 Star Urban Chic Boutique Hotel in Cape Town, and breakfast in the hotel's restaurant each morning.

Your holiday will be jam packed with experience days including Tandem Skydiving for two, Great White Shark Cage Diving Adventure for two, Sandboarding Adventure for two people, Table Mountain Abseil for two people and a Half Day Kite Surfing Lesson for four people.

Perhaps a little scary for some (myself included!) but it's certainly something different and revolves around what Red Letter Days do best - unforgettable experience days.

This is a prize draw based on volumes sold. You can get 4 free entries by uploading some festive creative and sending Joshna your link details. Details over here.

You don't need to make any sales (just upload the banners and submit your details) to be in with a chance making it accessible to all levels of affiliates. Obviously the more sales you make (or by selling the key product promotions) then the more tickets you get and the greater your chances of winning this amazing prize.

The incentives don't stop there either.

Win a 1 Night Luxury Escape

Fancy a stay in Chewton Glen; St Andrews or The Savoy? Blag yourself a hotel break by creating a landing page or blog post promoting Red Letter Days. The best landing page as judged by a RLD judging panel will win a luxury break. Head to the A4U link above to find entry details.

Win One of Four 1 Night Boutique Escapes

Win a boutique hotel stay for two including dinner. Winners will be randomly selected from each of these segments:

• The top 5 most improved affiliates from last year (based on uplifted sales from 1st October to 31st December 2009)
• The top 5 best new affiliates (signed up after today, 13 September)
• The top 5 most improved affiliates Year on Year (based on uplifted sales from 2009)
• From any affiliate that makes over £500 in sales between October-December 2010

Rather than just going for a straight "biggest earner wins", winners a randomly selected from the top 5 in the first three categories and everyone generating over £500 in Quarter 4.

And It Continues...

This is the point they swap presenters on the Gadget Show as the first runs out of breath! Not only are RLD offering a set of holiday prizes, they are also offering the Quarterly prizes too.

Hit either £1,500+, £3,000+, £5,000+, £7,000+, £10,000+, £15,000+ or £20,000+ of revenue in Quarter Four (October to December) and you will win a guaranteed prize. The bigger the band you hit, the better the prize. This is an on-going promotion and has won Red Letter Days awards. You can see why when they are offering gifts such as an Apple 8GB iPod Touch & Bose Surround Sound Series 11 iPod Speaker System & Docking Station, a SONY New Digital SLR Camera with DT-18-55 Lens, Montblanc Oval Star Earrings, Gaggia R18151-60 Cubkia Plus Espresso Machine, Philips SE5653B/05 Trio Answerphone, Richardsons Sabatier Trompete 5 piece Knife Block, Champneys CHMAN3023 Luxury Hand Spa, and many, many more! There's something here for everyone. Take a look at the complete list of prizes at the Red Letter Days Affiliate Blog.

And Finally...

If winning a holiday and some gadgets or bling isn't enough, how about a festive hamper? In addition to all the above, if you achieve £750+ of revenue between 1st October and 30th November you'll get a hamper packed full of Christmas goodies! The better your revenue during this time, the bigger and better hamper you will receive.

Thoughts?

As I sit here gasping for breath, it's clearly evident a lot of thought has gone into this. Even if you generate no sales but add a Red Letter Days banner to your site, you could still win a South Africa holiday. Create a super-duper landing page or blog post review and you could win a hotel break. The top 5 most improved (year on year), 5 most improved (Q4 2009), top 5 new earners and everyone generating over £500 in three months has the chance at winning a hotel break too. Up that to £750 by November and you win a Christmas hamper and up that to £1,500 and you win a prize from the Q4 incentive lists.

It's certainly a great way to kick start the incentives this year and is highly accessible for all RLD affiliates, big and small.
