Are My Eyes Deceiving Me - Waitrose Entertaining - Re- Launched

[Qui Gon Jinn]

Waitrose Entertaining has just re-launched on Tradedoubler ... I simply had to laugh, I think it says it all. Ithought todays date was November 19th, not April 1st.

Wasn't it suggested this would happen?

God loves those who try....

I have just read the previous post that QGJ mentions in his thread.... I wonder if anyone will re-join?

Would you apply that to all their programs? I did promote their wedding list for a while but after seeing a lot of bad comments regarding customer service on forums I stopped (it wasn't converting anyway).

Now I've just started a new gift site and was pretty much relying on their product range to make it viable.

Would you stick with them on this or find an alternative?

Thanks

In October last year I generated £101,422.69 worth of sales for Waitrose and was near on widdling myself with excitement at the thought of Christmas sales. You can imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth when I got the notification they were closing in time for Christmas.

Ironic that they resume the programme almost exactly where they left off last year?! Perhaps they're trying to make amends, lol.

Blimey Kirtsy, you were hit quite hard.

Perhaps they're trying to make amends, lol.

Hang on .... I just saw a pink one fly past my window.

Yeah, I thought I heard a distinctly "oinkey" sonic boom a minute ago there as well.

Hard, yeah.. not arf! Fortunately we were in Thailand then, so I felt a little detached from reality anyways. Duncan had to do a fair amount of soothing of my affiliate ego for a few days though (sangsom and redbull saw me through!)

Let's not do the affiliate goldfish memory trick and forget how things have been in the past. Here's a post from my blog over a year ago

Nice to see that buyagift are just as great one year on though

[Julie H]

We can only hope Fraser but what's the bet for every affiliate that laughs and wouldn't touch it there's 10 that will sign up for the program. Goldfish memories indeed!

"oinkey" sonic boom

lmao ... spat my tea out .. I almost fell out of my chair

On a serious note here are a couple of other affiliates blogs pertaining to the matter
