Managed Units are great eh? The top products by sold by the merchant, kept up to date by them, so all you have to do is put it on your page and forget about it… What more could you possibly want?

Well today we are launching a major development to the way that you can use these managed units which means you can now have them your way.

That’s right, the merchant picks the products, and you can now choose how they are displayed on your site, you’re no longer tied to how they’ve been made by the merchant, you can change all the styling so that they fit in perfectly with your site.  In fact you have access to the same customisation tools as if you created the unit yourself, without the choosing of products.  Change the size/colours/number of products/items to show and more!

Let’s take a look at how this works:

First up we’ve created a new page, sorted alphabetically where you can select the merchant.  

For those that are on more than one network or offer a range of managed units click on the merchant name and you’ll see the options available.  To select a particular unit click on ‘View Unit’.  Bear in mind, you have to be accepted onto the affiliate program with the network for the unit you want to use.

The next page is where the magic begins… You’ll see a quick preview, including the products the merchant has selected, where I have added the arrow, you’ll notice there’s a tick box, which will take you tot he styling page, so you can change any of the styling on the unit.  So tick the box and click on ‘Add to My Units’.  (Of course if you’re happy with the look, you might not need to tick the box – though you might want ot add tracking ID/url etc?).

Change the styling – you have access to all the customisation options you’ve come to expect form Easy Content Units, so if you tick the box, you’ll see our familiar styling page for this unit.

‘Add to My Units’ did you say? – I sure did, for yes, he’s the next major function we’ve added to the units.  Now you’re able to add it to your own list of units, the stats for the managed units will show up in your stats page.  You’ll be able to see the number of impressions and clicks each of these have generated for you.  All the managed units are grouped together on your stats page for convenience, you can of course move them about if you want.

We’ve launched with 60 managed units, with more being added each day.  If you are a merchant who would like to provide your affiliates with this fantastic promotional creative which is converting at a little over 10% (network wide) then please contact us.
