I知 Gavin Alexander and have joined ASOS today after working in Online Marketing for 4 years at HFC Bank. I知 really eager to pick up where Jess left off with this programme, and to continue its success for our affiliates, and helping us meet our objectives. Bear with me as I get up to speed with life at ASOS, in the meantime if you have any questions, please do let me know - gavina@asos.com
In addition to me joining, there has also just been a slight change to the homepage. These are not big changes, and are purely cosmetic, we feel that the new look will take the ASOS brand forward, and we値l also be providing new creative in the next week or so to reflect the new homepage. If there痴 any specific sizes you池e after, please get in touch. The new homepage has just gone live, let me know what you think!
As "ASOS affiliate of the year 2004" I'd like to welcome you to the forum and wish you all the best with the ASOS affiliate program.
It's too late to pick up where Jess left off because the program has nose-dived since she left but if you can pull the program out of freefall and get things moving again that would be a great start.
If you could clarify the commission structure in response to other threads today that would be a good starting point...
Yup agree about the product feed.. my tech dude's first encounter with getting a data feed up and running was with ASOS's end of last week.. he was non too thrilled to simply see title like "bags" when it was a ｣65 item
also a few were just jumbled descriptions for the prouct too.. with bad spacing etc.
Needs a good sort through..although not the worst feed bar far I suspect
It's been one of those weeks where everything seems to be going s-d-r-a-w-k-c-a-b and ASOS is no exception!
Again, I'm not the target audience but I do have a background in the design industry and the current trend of faint layouts, thin lines and wishy washy colours (technical term) doesn't do it for me. I can see the logic of making everything apart from the products recede in the mix but oddly it just doesn't work, the products also look faint and un-inspiring.
And everyone knows (you shouldn't start a sentence with And) that CAPITAL LETTERS are harder to read so changing all the left menus to capitals seems another backward tinkering for the sake of tinkering design change.
One a more serious note, who else got the email from Gavin about promotional codes?
I just had alook at the new look ASOS - it looks clean and all but where is the search? and what happens to visited links? And the menu is harder to read in capitals.
Still, who I am to criticise when they are one of the biggest clothing retailers online? I feel they are big enough to stand the knocks.
But guys - where's the search? Just where you think it is, there is a newsletter signup box instead - just annoying. I wanted to look up 'chav'.
And I've always wondered why they had that cheap looking banner exchange at the top of every page. It must make money but looks rubbish.
Just back from holiday and noticed this post so welcome Gavin.
Hope the job goes along ok, always difficult to start with, finding you feet but best of luck with it anyway.
