Lammo.net: Affiliate Marketing Blog

I’m just planning my holidays for 2009. Er Indoors has been going on for years about how I’ve never taken her to Paris, so a brief getaway to the home of the rudest people in the world is in order. It’s also been a few years since I’ve been ski-ing, so a ski-trip somewhere in Europe sounds like a plan. Finally, we need a guaranteed sunshine holiday, and I’ve always fancied Dubai, so a five star, all-inclusive jolly should round off the 2009 travel plans quite nicely.

Oh, and did I mention I don’t plan to pay a penny for any of them?

Thanks to Prezzybox’s Great Winter Incentive, I can bag myself those free holidays, just by meeting some tough, yet achievable sales targets. The incentive period runs from yesterday (1st October) right up to (and including) 14th February 2009. So you’ve not only got four and a half months to hit the targets (meaning us SEO/Content affiliates get a chance as well as the PPC big hitters), but you’ve got 3 of the biggest markets for gifts included in that period - Valentines Day, January Sales, and of course the BIG one - Christmas

The best bit about the prize structure is that by hitting the minimum £3,000 sales target (which is easily achievable for a great merchant like Prezzybox), you’re guaranteed a fairly decent prize. None of this “ticket to win” malarky with Zak and co - “Thanks for the sales guys, have some nice prezzies” seems to be their ethos. And if you can really rack up the sales, you can collect as many of the star prizes as you want!

So if I’m going to take Er Indoors to Paris, Ski-ing in Europe and off on the All-inclusive trip to Dubai, I’m going to have to sell £100,000 of products from Prezzybox by the end of Valentines Day. A tough task indeed considering I haven’t done much retail this year and don’t really have any sites that I can instantly send traffic from. But so great is the incentive (and so achievable given the length of time you’ve got to rack up the sales), that I’ve come up with a number of ideas to promote their products, and maybe, just maybe I’ll be able to hit the £100,000 sales target and have 3 free holidays next year.

Even if I miss the huge target, as long as I hit the £20,000 target to take Er Indoors to Paris it’ll be worth it, and of course I’ll have a number of SEO’d pages that will continue to sell products throughout 2009.

Merchants everywhere take note - This is the Ultimate affiliate incentive. As you can see it’s spurred me (who does next to nothing in Prezzybox’s sector) on to really make an effort to promote them via content and SEO, which is exactly the effect that I’d imagine Zak is looking for - It runs for long enough for my SEO work to take effect, the prizes are really sh*t hot, and it’s got the “everyone’s a winner” element - If I hit tough yet achievable targets, I get a brilliant prize.

Prezzybox is available on Affiliate Window and Paid on Results. They are managed by “Affiliate Manager of the Year 2007″ Zak Edwards, who is certainly doing his best to win back the award for 2009. not only is there this fab incentive, but there’s the now-as-traditional-as-mince-pies Prezzybox BIG Christmas Plans information overload, full of new tools for affiliates, top sellers lists, stocking filler ideas, etc, etc.

What else could you need? Prezzybox give you the products, the creative, the ideas and the incentive. Are you planning to join me in Dubai?
