David Fiske Affiliate Marketing & Web Development

8 weeks ago (eek) I asked where had all the incentives gone and prayed for some really good offers this year. Then, Red Letter Days goes and launches their great festive incentive offering oodles of gifts and prizes. Step forward 7 weeks and a whole lot more have made their way into my inbox. Here's a few of my favourites.
 
DFDS Seaways

Got to be quick for this one but every sale generated for DFDS Seaways (Buy.at or Tradedoubler) before 14th November will net you double commission and the chance to win one of 3 £250 racing experiences. More at http://www.dfdsseaways.co.uk/affiliates/affiliate-incentive

Into The Blue

Sales generated for Into the Blue (Affiliate Window) between October and December can lead to some great prizes. Tiers are reached by generating various levels of sales.

Plus, generate at least one sale over £10 in the time frame and they will send you a yummy Thorntons Chocolate Slab. More at http://www.affiliates4u.com/forums/christmas-2010/163158-intotheblue-co-uk-experience-days-oct-dec-incentives.html

Getting Personal

Getting Personal are offering £2,500 to one lucky winner to spend on the holiday of a lifetime. 1 draw entry for every 5 validated sales (Affiliate Window). More details at http://www.affiliates4u.com/forums/christmas-2010/162975-gettingpersonal-co-uk-awesome-christmas-incentive.html

Affiliate Window and Buy.at

Hallelujah, Awinter Wonderland is back :-) Chock full of offers, incentives and bestsellers, this highly useful resource is a great place to find out everything you need to know about partnered merchants.

Following on from last year's success, Digital Window (now comprising of Affiliate Window and Buy.at) are offering a massive prize - your choice of a 3D Home Cinema package, shopping in NYC, what looks like a collection of iEverything (lots of Apple goodies) or £3,000 in cash in a nice envelope! Personally, I'm sceptical of 3D but I've got funny eyes, wear glasses and haven't tried it out yet. Having invested in an ePad which does the job and having battled Apple over my iPod, I think I would prefer a weekend away in the Big Apple :-D Regardless of what I would choose, there is a good range here that should hopefully appeal to a wide audience.

Every sale made via Digital Window (both Buy.at and Affiliate Window) equals one entry to the draw. As Aleksandr Orlov probably says in his book (?!), Simples! More at http://christmas.affiliatewindow.com/?page_id=73

It's probably a highly confidential figure but I wonder how many entries there will be in the draw? I would say millions could easily be generated "between 00:01 Thursday 21st October and 00:00 Friday 24th December" especially from the larger players. It's probably almost certainly a mind boggling figure ;-)

As Christmas goes there's plenty on offer. I expect more to follow in the coming weeks but it's a great start, with strong incentives from merchants and networks alike.
