Yo ho ho. Yep, it's the last week in September and in time honoured tradition we at Prezzybox.com are putting out our Affiliate Christmas Promotion to ensure everybody maximises the months of October to December for Chrimbo (this coupled with the fact that I'm on holiday as of Monday and wanted to get it sorted before I go away).

2) Creative
After the success of last year's creative, I challenged our designers and techies to come up with something even more innovative and interesting to promote Christmas this year.
So as well as all the usual Banners, Content Units, Search boxes and Gift Wizard Search boxes they've taken on board all of the 'noise' about social networking and blogging and have come up with a couple of winning bits of creative. Ladies and Gentlemen we introduce to you,
Vidiboxes and
Prezzybox.com Wordpress Widgets.
Vidiboxes
We've got stacks of videos on the site which really help with converting sales. So, we've cunningly put these videos in to a number of content units and created our very own Video Content Units called
Vidiboxes (which by our reckoning is an Industry first).
We're really excited about these and are really keen for our Affiliates to use them on their own websites. We've now got Vidiboxes in the following sizes for a number of our best selling lines:
We've produced these Vidibox's for a number of our top selling goodies which have videos. You can see some examples of them and a full list of the Vidiboxes which are available so far by
clicking here. If however, you want a Vidibox creating for a different product then check out this page (link to video page) as this has more of our product videos. Alternatively If there's something you're keen to promote let me know and we'll try and put it into one of our Vidiboxes for you.
Where to find them on Paid on Results and Affiliate Window:
The Vidiboxes are available in the following sizes:
- 175 by 300
- 400 by 150
- 500 by 200
And can be found under the following name: Product Videos -
PRODUCTNAME xxx Wide
They are in dynamic marketing links section under "iframes"
Prezzybox Wordpress Widgets
Equally as exciting are our
Prezzybox.com Wordpress Widgets. As more and more of you are blogging it nowadays we thought it only right and proper to create some Wordpress widgets to include in your blogs as well. We've therefore produced the following creative for your Wordpress blogs.
This is how the Prezzybox Widget will look:
You can find directions of how to upload the Prezzybox.com Wordpress Widget by

Widgets need to be requested from
ben@prezzybox.com and we will send an individual zip file to affiliates with instructions of how to install them.
Content Units
The two B's (Ben and Bianca) have put together some great new content units...
The Content Units include a good range of products from what we expect to be our top Christmas sellers based on past and recent sales history.
You can find details of our content units by
clicking here.
We have the Content Units in the following widths
and they can be found on
POR and AWIN under:
Names: Christmas 2007 - Content Units xxx Wide
Last Year's Content Units
Because we're so happy with our content units from last year and because the products are still hot sellers, then we're more than happy for you to use some of them too. Here's an example of
last year's work...
Again, these are available on both AWIN and
POR and are titled accordingly.
Gift Wizard Search boxes
Our gift wizard is one of our finest selling aids and really assists in increasing conversion. So, we've put together the Gift Wizard Search box in a number of sizes. Also - last year's are available if you prefer the designs. You can see details of our Christmas Gift Wizard Search Boxes by
clicking here.
Gift Wizard Search Boxes are available in the following sizes:
- 468 by 60
- 120 wide
- 165 wide
- 200 wide
- 350 wide
- 450 wide
and can be found under the following names:
Christmas 2007 - Gift Wizards xxx Wide
Banners
We've already got a stack of banners so we won't show a great deal here. However, what I would say is that if you need any banner putting together in any shape/size or colour and relating to ANY product then please let me know and we'll get it put together for you.
You can see all of our banners here -
Prezzybox.com Affiliates Christmas Banners 2007
Where to find our Creative
All of the creative can be found on both AWIN and
POR and is ingeniously entitled Christmas and then what it is (for example Christmas Gift Wizard Search Box).
Do you need any creative specific to your site?
If there is anything you'd like us to create specifically for your site - be it a certain size, colour, with your logo or whatever, then please let us know and we'll get straight on to it.
Gift Vouchers and Landing Pages
From now until December we are happy to give you a branded £5 gift voucher which you can pass on to your users. This will entitle them to
£5 off EVERY order with a value of £20 or more. We can also link this in with a landing page which has been working pretty well for a number of affiliates.
Click here an example of StudentBeans current landing page...
Top Sellers from Christmas 2006
It's always good to know what sold well last Christmas and throughout this year, as unless they are specifically dated (for example World Cup 2006 Car stickers) then they tend to be decent sellers the following Christmas too. So, the Top 20 products last Christmas were...
These products are all stock lines and have sold contiuously well throughout this year too. and I'm sure they will continue to do so this Christmas so are definitely worth promoting.
New Products
There's also a whole raft of new Products that are sure to fly out this Christmas. We'll be adding these over the next few weeks so I'll keep you posted. However, some products which are live on the site and are gonna be hot stuff are:
Personalised Calendars
Personalised Products are
HUGE now and our
Personalised Calendar is our best selling personalised product by a long way. So - it really makes sense to promote these. The way it works is simple. The customer simply adds their name to the product and we produce their name in a number of wonderful settings - be it Fireworks in the sky or Graffiti on a wall. For example:
Not only is the conversion rate on the Calendars particularly good, but so are the repeat sales which is obviously good for Affiliates because of the longevity of our cookie length through AWIN (365 days) and our Customer Based tracking through Paid on Results. And don't forget, every Affiliate who enters one of our prize draws above will receive a
FREE CALENDAR.
Stocking Fillers
We've also launched our stocking fillers category too. This is packed full of products which simply sell by the bucket load (or stocking load) so are definitely worth getting on board. You can see our Stocking Fillers category by
Clicking here.
Affiliate Resource Centre (ARC)
Don't forget the
ARC. It's jam packed full of great features to assist Affiliates. You can download best sellers reports, check out all of our latest creative, down load datafeeds and much more. It really has proved to be a useful tool for those that have registered with it.
Click here to Register for the ARC.
And Finally...
If there's anything that we've missed then please give me a shout. We'll make no bones about it, Christmas is the busiest time of year for us, so we're keen to provide our Affiliates with all the tools they require to ensure it is a belter. So, if there's anything you require whatsoever, then please give me a shout and we'll get it sorted for you.
Please note. I'm out of the office for 2 weeks as of 21st Sept so if you do require ANYTHING please contact Ben on
ben@prezzybox.com or call him on
0870 1221 007.
Cheers,
Zak.
