Alliance & Leicester launch new affiliate programme with CJ!

**A&L** · 30-10-06

Hello everyone at A4U!

This is my first post under the ‘A&L’ forum handle and marks the start of one 2 one contact between Alliance & Leicester and a4u forum members. Previously all comms have gone through our agencies, but I want to change this. I believe our financial services & our affiliate commissions are some of the best out there and this is the place to shout about it!

So what is A&L up to at the moment?

Well… to co-inside with the run up to Christmas we have decided to launch on a second major network, Commission Junction. This activity will run along side our well-established OMG programme, and supports our intent to work with more non-financial and international affiliates.

Standard commissions offered will be identical across the two networks so if affiliates wish to switch it will be for account management or interface reasons. If you need any information with regard to this launch please contact either myself or your account manager at CJ or OMG.

Congratulations - a blue chip brand with a clue. Nice to see you, to see you, nice

**A&L** · 30-10-06

Thanks Brendon. I want to hear everybodies opinions on what we are doing be it good or bad. Its all too easy to hide behind the neworks.

Has anybody got any questions?

Yep, could you review the sites pending approval for the A&L Personal Loans on OMG please? Been waiting for 20 days now....

Other than that, well done for working direct and side stepping your agency

Thanks

Hi Paul

Good to see you on A4U.

Having had a few beers with Paul on Thursday afternoon, I can only see A&L's affiliate offering getting better and better.

**A&L** · 31-10-06

Cheers Keith,

It was a pleasure to meet you. I'll never think of Noel Edmunds in the same light again! He did have great dress sense though didn't he? Those thick-knit woollens were the best... Good luck with your Christmas campaigns.

Ian,

Sorry if your approval has been delayed OMG pass them over to me every week so I don't understand how you have been waiting 20 days. I can only appologise if that is the case. Please e-mail me your site URL and AID and I will make sure I look out for it (paul.brown@alliance-leicester.co.uk)

Hi Tyson,

Thanks, I think its important for us to get out there as a company. Congratulations on the new job, how are you finding the beers up North? Old Peculiar is pretty nice...

**Tyson Pearcey** · 02-11-06

First off many thanks. buy.at is a perfect fit for me and there is a lot going on here at the moment so very exciting times!

As for Newcastle beer..... I'm based in London so I'm only up there every now and then. But completely love it up there.

Look forward to seeing you at our Finance event on the 16!

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Any plans to open up your mortgage products to affiliates?

**A&L** · 06-11-06

Morning,

At A&L we are experimenting with our online mortgage activity at the moment. At present we do not have budget for an open mortgages affiliate programme. There are some selected online partners pushing leads our way though.

I will keep you posted if funds become available.

Best regards

Hi Paul,

Do you have any application to validation conversion rate stats for personal loans?

Also, roughly how long it takes from application to validation.

Thanks
Ian
