the usual problem with Hotel Chocolate and the awful Commission Junction interface

Just looking to deep link to a number of Xmas hampers on the hotel choc website. But....deep linking doesnt work. the spreadsheet on the hotel choc website which affiliates are told to use doesnt have this years Xmas products (are they last years?)

basically, about an hour wasted on something that would take 1 minute on any of the other networks awin, webgains por etc.

total waste of time and a waste for Hotel Choc - on the right network they could have a successful affiliate programme.

Products (as usual) look great tho.

My mistake, the spreadsheet you are referring to detailing all of our live products has been updated and can be accessed here.

We are looking into a deep linking tool as I appreciate it's a pain at the moment.

Any other issues please feel free to drop me a line.

Thanks

I must say Matt, this is a great offer. Who wouldn't want chocolate, despite the economic downturn.

Good luck with the campaign. :tup

Hi,

Thanks to everyone pushing the Hotel Chocolat Christmas campaign, you really are exceeding expectations this quarter so far!

I thought you might be interested to know that conversion rates on the site exceeded 9.5% earlier this week, with average order values also creeping over £55!

Rather unsurprisingly, Advent Calendars are one of our best sellers at present and well worth promoting as the start of December fast approaches. The end of the month also coincides with the end of our FREE gift offer which I know a lot of you have been promoting. There's still plenty of time for a final push!

If you have any questions or ideas that will help you maximise sales from our Christmas campaign please feel free to email me.

Have a great weekend!

Matt

Some quick stats for the last week:
AOV £57
EPC: £56
Conversion Rate: 9.5%

The second half of our Christmas campaign commences on Monday, details to follow shortly.

Thanks

Matt

Ps: Our new deeplinking tool is available here.
