Hi there

Australia Promotion now on at STA Travel !

Australia - Do It Differently
Fly to Australia fr £569
Round the world with 6 stops fr £599 + tax
Accommodation fr £9 pppn
- Party on the Ritz of all hotels
- Pamper yourself in a Spa Resort
- Bag yourself an apartment by the beach !!

Book by 10th December 2006

We are the only UK company to have the ability to sell airlines' distressed stock as discounted 'student rates'. These fares are the cheapest and/or the most flexible - perfect for our market who are travelling long term and changing their mind. The airlines do not sell these seats directly to the public. We call these 'Blue Tickets'.

Thanks
Pam

Great offer, but shame affiliates won't make any revenue on it.
This is where the banner for the offer lands:
http://www.statravel.co.uk/cps/rde/x...s.xsl/4165.htm - advising users to call in and speak with an expert.

I'm sorry if it appears like I'm ranting against STA, but I really want to promote them and have great traffic but they won't be getting anything if you can't book online, or are constantly told to pick up the phone.

Your 3 month EPC is £2.60, whereas Thomson are £16.50 and Portland £21.45.

The text link for this offer actually takes you to our bespoke Oz promo page:

http://ww4.statravel.co.uk/gets_apps...2006/index.asp

Many of the products are bookable online, however, I am totally aware of several products not being able to be booked online. We are looking (and I've referred to this in a previous post as well) into ways of being able to credit affiliates with offline sales.

Bear with us... we'll get there and so will our EPC !

I beg to differ.

The 'Round the world in 6 stops' banner on the front page, leads direct to the contact us page (http://www.statravel.co.uk/cps/rde/x....xsl/4165.htm).

Many of the products are bookable online, however, I am totally aware of several products not being able to be booked online. We are looking (and I've referred to this in a previous post as well) into ways of being able to credit affiliates with offline sales.

Any timeframe on this?

Bear with us... we'll get there and so will our EPC !

I really hope you do, but I'm out on this one until you do.

Hi again Monkeyman

Our text link via CJ is for the Australia flight (from £569) only. We don't have any links via CJ promoting the Round the World deals, apart from getting a quote for one (whereby you're paid commission for a quote).

As for a timeframe for offline tracking, this is still a fairly new thing for CJ, so we're looking into the new year for this.

Totally understand your concerns and look forward to working with you in the near future

We have some great new changes happening over the next few weeks on the Club 18-30 program! Not only are we doubling the commission but there is a brand new site launching on the 12th December!

The new site is more user and affiliate friendly, and is going to result in a higher conversion rate! This is only the beginning and there are more changes to come - but for now here is a taster of some of the new features:

· Reduction in booking process - now down to a simple 5 step route

· Removal of the telephone number from the site to a contact us page

As well as this the commission has gone up to a whopping 6%! You now have the opportunity to make more commission - the AOV for the program gives you the potential to make £45 per sale.

It really is Christmas all year round with Club 18-30 - we have a number of great prizes to be won over the next few months, plus several cash bonuses and competitions for all of the program's affiliates!

If you aren't already signed up to the program do it today - don't forget it's almost peak booking season; get in early and have a Club 18-30 Christmas!

We also wanted to let you know that the program is joining up with it's sister Flexibletrips - under the umbrella UP Trips; check out both of these great programs for some more great prizes over the coming weeks to celebrate this merger!

Travel deals are normally cheap or flexible. STA Travel's blue deals are sometimes both… and more! How bananas is that?

Save a bunch on flight deals that are cheap AND flexible.

What is Blue?
The basic idea of Blue is to save you money, offer you greater flexibility and a bunch of other stuff. Nothing wrong with that.
It’s especially created for students and under 26 year olds, offering exclusive access to thousands of offers including:

· Cheap student/youth flights with the worlds best airlines
· Flexible flight tickets which often allow date and route changes and refunds usually associated with expensive tickets
· Flights that allow you to stay wherever you are for up to one year
· Tasty combinations to destinations you never thought you could afford to get to
· Travel help in 90 countries
· Great value accommodation with free stuff thrown in
· Overland and adventure travel with exclusive discounts and more

Check out the Blue Travel Deals sample itineraries that we’ve put together to show just how much you can get out of Blue. The best thing about Blue is that the added value applies to all different parts of your trip and the savings quickly add up!

As part of this campaign we have Blue Flights, Blue Beds, Blue overland travel and tours, Blue travel deals, Blue discount cards and much, much more !

As long as you’re a student or under 26 and you’ve got an ISIC or IYTC discount card you’re ready to start taking advantage of all the Blue discounts and offers available. It makes no difference if you like bananas or not.

Exciting, new creative now live on CJ.
