Are you attending Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas January 10-13, 2009? If you are and you want to talk to us here at Team Loxly about our programs or about consulting, or about being an artist on Loxly Gallery, send us an email (loxly at teamloxly.com) or visit our thread at ABestWeb and we can set up a time. Las Vegas is a beautiful place for a convention and Affiliate Summit is the place to be if you are interested at all in Affiliate Marketing.
Hope to see you there!
Here is a widget to display Las Vegas tours from Viator on your affiliate website:
The great thing about widgets is that Viator updates the code so your site always has current tours available.
Thanks to this thread I did some research today and found out that tonight there was going to be the biggest full moon until Nov 2016. Because of the closeness of the moon to earth and a bunch of other factors, we would actually be able to see more of the moon’s surface than we normally can. And even here in NYC where there is a LOT of ambient light. So I went out and decided to give it a shot to photograph the moon. Thanks to a post on a message board I now have the best photos I have ever taken of the moon, which will eventually make it onto Loxly Gallery where you as an affiliate can sell them :). Plus I also know about the brightest meteor shower that I should be able to photograph sometime between today and Monday or Tuesday.
For your viewing pleasure, I present, the Moon:

I ordered a chair from Office Depot a few weeks ago and kindof was complaining about how it wasn’t going to be delivered for weeks instead of days and then *POOF* it showed up even though online it still said delivery was scheduled for weeks later. And they kindof are annoying sending me an email every 3-4 days, but it always includes a $xx off $xxx purchase coupon, so I save them.
Just now, the UPS truck pulls up, driver hands me a package from Office Depot. Now I do a lot of shopping online, particularly lately but I really don’t remember buying anything from Office Depot. I open it up and it’s their complete catalog, a voucher for $10 off $50 (not bad, I can usually manage to spend $50 easily!) AND a desksize business card holder folder. Not a cheap one either, it’s simliar to this one:

and holds about 100 cards AND (this is important) it has Office Depot embossed on the cover. I have problems remembering if I have shopped at Office Depot or Office MAX and guess what, I now have something on my desk that will remind me, plus I feel good that they sent this too me out of the blue!
This is a lesson for MERCHANTS, get your customers attention by sending them something they can USE that they don’t EXPECT that has your BRAND on it
A lesson for affiliates, if you have a loyal customer base that shares address info with you, try to do something similar, if it is in your budget. And maybe do it year round and NOT just at holiday time. It’s an attention grabber and I know now that as a customer I am going to be shopping online at Office Depot before Office Max or Circuit City and of course before Staples (because of how they treat affiliates).
And to clarify, the chair was purchased with a $xx off coupon and was under $200, so we are not talking being rewarded for an expensive purchase here. Circuit City has gotten LOTS of my big dollars for electronics purchases in the past (not online, but they STILL have all my contact info) and I haven’t ever gotten anything from them except a letter to renew my service contracts!
