Hi Lee
I think it was refered to review because of your title on here. Whatever the nature of the website I think if it has been running already and you can't get the traffic then an incentive partner might not be the answer because you have already stated that there isn't much traffic for a partner, If you gave away a car every minute it won't matter if nobody is aware.
Shout about your website, you need to get people to visit it, I started by going to a well known auction site, purchased some blank keyrings and printed off inserts, I then asked a question every month and the answer was easy to find by visiting my website, the freebies and free competition websites did all the promotions for me, all I did was a draw every month and anounced 6 winners, It did well and I got a box of pens made and did them as well, not only are you talking peanuts but the stuff you give away is nothing but advertisment material.
Then give people a reason to come back to your website, behind the brochure could be anything that is a brochure, you could give out the opening and closing times for legoland, you could write down where the promotions are, you could do ride reviews, you could say what is new, one of the affiliate companies even has a legoland merchant on their books, so people could enter legoland into the search engines, find your website and it has all the opening times, toilet reviews, is there a mcdonalds, is the car parking busy, is it suitable for a wheelchair, what days are busy, then suddenly there is a box where I can order tickets without queueing in that hot sun, there is your commission, half in your pocket half on pens.
You need to concentrate on what you are doing and keep that information up to date, that is why you give a personal touch and are not just another review website (or whatever it is) you need to know the latest. I know that Haven Holidays Caister Camp has stopped doing Half Board, that is the personal touch, when someone is in the travel agents and someone is trying to book that and then looks up and say's they don't do it anymore let me look at the alternatives. But if you know your stuff then people will come back, there are holiday companies online, on adverts, teletext, tv magazines, so why bother, because we all offer something different, and most of all we hope people will tell others and also come back themselves.
Just consider your brochures and think about hotel brochures, pub brochures, activities, places, I network with Bitesize Britain you won't get county or place brochures from me and you won't get holiday accommodation brochures from him, but when you've ordered your county brochures from him my link then pops up. This is something you could consider, these theme parks have pizza places and fast food places you could tie them in with vouchers and reviews as well.
Back to my comment from yesterday you need to be seen as neutral, you need to give out prizes away from the industry that you are involved with. I
am doing reviews on cars and giving away a VW Golf, we know what we would think.
I have now wrote 2 very long answers to your question, always remember that however much someone knocks something if you believe in it then that is the reason. Sainsburys use to be the market leader but Tesco never gave up and how many supermarkets still move in to the same areas. Also look at Mr forte well known for Trusthouse Forte, he is about to open up his first hotel in Leeds, how many people would say "oh no not another hotel" his reply would be that mine is different.
Coffee time.
