Blue Chip Vacations Affiliate Incentive

I’m in affiliate heaven at the moment… Here’s another interesting incentive for travel affiliates to get stuck into. This one is from the Blue Chip Vacations affiliate programme which you can find at Affiliate Window. By the way, any views on the strength of the UK holiday market in 2010 ?, from what I have seen so far the air inclusive beach holidays are having a bit of a comeback.

Now over to BCV with news of this cool incentive to win a holiday in Newquay

Up for grabs this month:

• A 3 night stay for you and 5 guests
• A cruise around Fistral Bay in a Zapcat
• Access to the VIP area on Fistral Beach
• Lunch on race days at Fistral Blu

With a once in a lifetime holiday experience on offer, there has never been a better time to start driving your Blue Chip Vacations sales! The legendary Zapcats Grand Prix comes to Newquay this April, and one lucky affiliate will be a VIP attendee! We’re offering a money-can’t-buy prize, including a luxury 3 night break for you and up to 5 guests, a chance to mingle in the VIP area and meet the racers, and we’re even throwing in a chance to be driven around Fistral Bay, cutting through the waves on a Zapcat! Plus, enjoy a meal at the charming Fistral Blu as you watch the action unfold on race day. This is a fantastic experience, a great spectacle on what promises to be a fantastic weekend away!

To qualify, simply make a sale for a Newquay property before 09.04.10. The competition will take the form of a prize draw, with one sale equating to a ticket in the draw- so the more sales you make, the better your chance of winning! We’ll be releasing a fresh set of creatives to help you publicise the event, and a similar competition for our customers will run in conjunction with this to help raise awareness. A dedicated landing page for this offer has also been created to aid your promotions, which can be found on our Blue Chip Newquay website.

Affiliate Marketing Incentives

Affiliate Future Barbados Incentive

One of the great things about affiliate marketing in the UK is the possibilities you get to win prizes in incentives exclusive to affiliates. First of all, you have great odds of winning compared with a normal prize draw for the general public, because there are relatively few entrants. Secondly it can encourage you to go the extra mile and make some sales. Everyone’s a winner!

From a merchant point of view, running an incentive helps to raise the profile of their affiliate scheme and can encourage new publishers to join their scheme. If done well, a good incentive can drive extra sales in the short term as well as the long term benefit that affiliates see it is possible to generate sales with a bit of effort. Moreover running an incentive can encouarge affiliates to find out more about a merchants products / services / key selling points which can only be good.

Probably the ultimate example is the Affiliate Future Barbados incentive. Every year, AffiliateFuture plays host to a network-wide incentive, inviting merchants across all sectors – not just travel – to participate by offering their affiliates the opportunity to jet off for a week of fun and networking in the sun in Bridgetown, Barbados.

AffiliateFuture are preparing to host their annual incentivised Barbados trip for the fourth year running this June (exact date for 2009 to be confirmed) and this year’s trip promises to be bigger and better than ever, as more merchants capitalise on its success.

For the most part you “just” have to generate sales to get an entry but some merchants come up with a whole range of ways to win.
