AffiliateFuture rewards super affiliates with Barbados trip

AffiliateFuture, the leading UK affiliate network, has jetted 33 people off to Barbados on the trip of a lifetime including 17 prize-winning affiliates. The winners were among a group which included over 900 affiliates who each increased their sales by at least 20% to enter the draw to win tickets. The tickets, sponsored by merchants including Foxy Bingo, ebookers.com, and Jet2Holidays as well as AffiliateFuture itself, are the ultimate prize for AffiliateFuture’s annual multi-merchant promotion.

 

The winning affiliates come from a range of sectors including finance, travel, gaming and retail and the party of 33 includes several merchants and AffiliateFuture representatives as well as the winning group of key affiliates. 

 

One merchant sponsor, Chris Clarkson of sunshine.co.uk, the recipient of a4uAwards Affiliate Manager of the Year 2008 says, “The annual AffiliateFuture Barbados trip is the biggest "want" in UK affiliate marketing. Running an incentive on it guarantees attention, increased take up and affiliate driven sales.” 

 

Foxy Bingo sponsored three dream tickets and entries to their prize draws required affiliates to deliver 100 sales and  increase sales by 50%.

 

The ebookers.com promotion rewarded affiliates with prize  draw entries when they achieved a 20% uplift in sales.

 

To make the promotion as inclusive as possible and to maximise impact, AffiliateFuture also gave away one ticket through a draw for any affiliate that increased its sales by 20% or more across all merchants. This resulted in a record 914 affiliates being eligible for the draw. 

 

Peter Dickenson, Head of Affiliate Marketing at AffiliateFuture says, “This is the 3rd year we’ve run our Big Barbados Promotion and year on year it has grown bigger in terms of sponsoring merchants, participating affiliates and attributable transactions.  Without doubt the potential to win a week in the Caribbean focussed our affiliate community more keenly than ever on sales and the results were fantastic.”

 

Mark Pearson of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk says: “What a most amazing incentive for me to drive more traffic and sales to the AffiliateFuture merchants.  Being a hard working affiliate (workaholic at times!), it’s a great excuse for me to take a well earned break while at the same time meeting key people and where better to go than Barbados”
