ASOS.com - Update

[snappiegav]

Good news for fashion lovers everywhere, following the damage to the warehouse from the Hemel Hempstead oil refinery fire, next Monday marks the much anticipated re-opening of the UK's largest online fashion store, ASOS.com, with a sale, and a new collection.

Bargain hunters will be in for a treat, with up to 75% off hundreds of items in the ASOS.com Autumn/Winter sale, and we’ll also have the new Spring/Summer 06 range on site, featuring key trends such as ‘Sienna’ style polka dots and nautical fashions, as well as the arrival of A-list menswear labels GIO-GOI, Amplified and Superdry.

To support the sale and the new collection, we’ll have a selection of new banners, which will be available v soon, in the meantime, we’ve got some interim banners which will be available later today.

All ASOS.com customers who had orders refunded as a result of the oil refinery fire have been offered a discount on their next order, and although we cannot offer discounts to everyone, we can offer our partners:

• Commission increase to 12% until end of January
• £50 for putting the new banners up – this is a limited offer, I’ve got a budget for this, but email me quickly with the subject ‘I want £50’ for a better chance, strictly on a first come, first served basis, and to give people a chance of getting this note, entries need to be received after 9am Sunday.
• Draw for £500 for all Tradedoubler affiliates who generate more than 10 sales between the re-opening and the end of February.

So, with a few more days to go until we’re live, and the new banners ready very soon, now is a great time to start getting ASOS.com back in front of your customers.

If there's anything else you need, let me know.

PS – There has been a change to file structure on the site, so deeplink structure has changed. The new product URLs have been updated automatically in the feeds, however if you’ve manually coded any deeplinks, please update these as soon as possible.

Very good to hear employees will be back at work, but I was wondering what affiliates thought about the program at this moment in time considering how it was handled a few months ago.

What do you think about it?

Personally, yes I do still promote them, if it was a simple as moving everything to another merchant and making the same money I might have. But it isnt, the site ASOS is on has them pretty deeply built into it, and this time last year it solely promoted ASOS.

Them lowering commission made me change how the site worked and it now has many more products from a lot of fashion merchants, what I send ASOS is now about 50-60% of what it was this time last year.

Dont hear as much from Gav as I did jess, but when I do he seems fine. Id say not as pro active, but then again I dont know how things in their management have changed, Jess always had something to give away or some other crazy offer to make me full my finger out. These days my finger seems to be in as theres not much to shoot for so just let things plod along as they are. So I dont know if thats just Gav pocketting it all or management cutting back again
