David Fiske Affiliate Marketing & Web Development

Ah Christmas. It comes but once a year and the gap between each one always seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Emails with the words Christmas and Festive have started to filter through so it’s surely about time that someone launch their Christmas 2011 incentive. Right on cue is Red Letter Days who have got another fantastic incentive this year.

For the past few years Red Letter Days has been offering affiliates a choice of incentives each quarter based on tiered sales figures. Simply hit a tier and claim a prize. This on-going affiliate incentive has even won the company awards and industry praise.

Each year in the fourth quarter, Joshna, Gemma and the RLD team like to push the boat out and offer a flagship prize each Christmas. This year is no exception as they have just announced that the top prize this year is a holiday for two in Beijing!
 
The prize includes return flights (handy for getting there and getting back!), top quality five star accommodation as well as excursions to the Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Pearl Market, Summer Palace, Great Wall of China, Capital Museum. You’ll even experience a Beijing Acrobatic Show with a Peking Duck Banquet! Red Letter Days are also bundling in £500 spending money just for good measure.

How to Enter

Competition will be tough but there are plenty of ways to enter. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving thousands of sales to Red Letter Days, you’re just starting out or, like me, you’ve got an experience days website that really needs updating.

You can get 5 entries into the draw simply by popping a festive RLD banner on your website and emailing the URL (and your affiliate details) to affiliates@redletterdays.co.uk. A quick way to get some entries.

Between October and December your sales count towards entries based on tiers so the more you sell the more entries you’ll receive.

Each week there will also be some fun tasks to earn extra entries. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for these.
