Hi,

we've added an affiliates area to sunshine.co.uk.

• Latest files and feeds
• Search Box Wizard
• Default Banners
• Offer Banners
• more to come...

We've also added a blog to keep you up to date with the latest happenings at sunshine.co.uk.

You've got to try our search box wizard, which is very cool!

The offer banners are also something we're feeling pretty smug about.
Select an offer banner for a country/resort of your choice and it automatically updates every few hours to show the best prices currently available for holidays/hotels!

We have a few more toys and tools rolling out soon, XML will be available in the next few weeks, but hopefully lots of other things before then.

Look forward to hearing any feedback,

Chris C

Just had a quick look around and first impressions are WOW! There is a lot there to take a look at but this is an excellent example of how to run a programme. Why can't there be more like this?

I am impressed with the banners and the search boxes too. Just one thing I've thought of on the search boxes. Maybe we could customise the background colour to fit more into a site that isn't all orange.

Will take a more in depth look at things when I get a little more time.

All I've got to do now is get my new travel site sorted out! (that's the difficult bit!)

Cheers! We're just working through our list of what we wanted as affiliates.

It's now on the development list.

Hi,

trying not to bore you all with sunshine.co.uk...

another addition today to our affiliate area,

RSS Feeds

You can now pick up RSS feeds of offers for all destinations, last minute, all inclusive, family holidays and offers by month.

In case you missed it I also blogged about our self-updating banners too!

Cheers

Really liking the updating banners. With most holiday programmes it can be difficult to find one just for a specific country but these destination banners are great if you have appropriate domains/pages. I can see sunshine.co.uk being everywhere this year.

Now been added, you can choose your own bg colour and font colour on search boxes.


Latest addition to our affiliate area is an HTML Newsletter Wizard.

Create an HTML newsletter in a few easy steps, using the latest offers and deals available from sunshine.co.uk with your affiliate links already embedded in the code.

Give it a play, all comments welcome.
