Hi Everyone,


Today there are three great new developments in Mobile Broadband from Vodafone to help increase your conversion.


(1) New Mobile Broadband Offers

(2) New Mobile Broadband 'Meal Deal' Pages

(3) Vodafone Launches Top Up and Go Mobile Broadband


(1) New Mobile Broadband Offers

- Top Up and Go Mobile Broadband device price reduced to just £39 from the previous £49, please note that this deal is now live as of Monday 8th December 2008.

- Dell Netbook tariffs priced at £25 and £30 will have a promotional three months half price line rental until further notice

- Pricing will not change on Vodafone's site, but a promotional message will inform customers this will occur in their billing


(2) New Mobile Broadband 'Meal Deal' Pages

In response to affiliate feedback, we've developed a new range of pages to help increase conversion to our Mobile Broadband products. Whereas previously you could only link to a Mobile Broadband information page, you can now link directly into a 'Meal Deal' page, featuring both the device and tariff, for our best selling offers. This means the customer will land on Vodafone's site just one click away from the basket. These pages are here in Deals and Offers.

In order to deeplink to these pages, add your affiliate ID into the link. You can find your affiliate ID in the Title bar of your browser when you log in to dgmPro

(3) Vodafone Launches Top Up and Go Mobile Broadband

Vodafone has now launched a brand new Top and Go Mobile Broadband offering. This deal gives customers all the flexibility of mobile broadband, without the monthly contract.

Top Up and Go USB Modem Stick for just £49

This comes with a FREE first TopUp of £15 (1GB of data)

To give you an idea of what this means, with 1GB of data you could surf for 30 hours, send 650 emails then download 65 music tracks and 30 short video clips. Not bad!

So how does that shape up to the competition?

Vs Three

- Vodafone includes the first £15 TopUp (1GB). Three don’t include any data
- Vodafone don’t offer any time limits on the expiry of data in the bundle.
- Three TopUps expire after 30 days and any remaining data is lost

Vs T-Mobile

- T-Mobile offers three expiry options – 1 day, 7 days or 30 days.
- The T-Mobile ‘regular user’ offer expires after 30 days
- T-Mobile charge £30 for the 30 day or ‘regular user’ offer - £5 more than Vodafone

Vs O2

- Like T-Mobile, O2 offer 1 day, 7 day or 30 day options – which aren’t what customers want
- Like with T-Mobile and Three, O2’s ‘regular user’ offer expires after 30 days – Vodafone offer 1GB for £15 without a time restriction

Vs Orange

- Orange doesn’t offer prepay mobile broadband…

But O2 offer 1GB for £7.50? Isn’t that cheaper than Vodafone’s charge of £15? And doesn’t the modem cost less at £29.99?

All of O2’s offers expire after a certain number of days. Once your time is up, any data you left is gone. You can’t really compare prices – data a customer buys from Vodafone stays until they actually use it up!

And now for the important part… what about commission?

For the duration of December, Vodafone is launching TopUp and Go Mobile Broadband with a fantastic commission of £10 per order.

Please note – like the rest of the Vodafone commission structure, we will pay on gross orders of Mobile Broadband.

Other merchants pay mobile broadband commissions on net connection, i.e. after cancellation and returns. This means you can calculate your return more easily with Vodafone and it’s likely to result in a higher effective payment per net connection.

We welcome your feedback on our new site - please feel free to drop us a note if you have any comments or suggestions.

As always if you have any questions regarding the Vodafone affiliate campaign please feel free to contact the account managers Kevin Sutton or Julia Stent.

Best wishes
The Vodafone Team
