Next week we have a competition for you affiliates which promotes our Managed Units and encourages their use on your affiliate’s sites.
A managed unit is one that the merchant creates, and updates regularly, providing their affiliates with a new tool for their promotional arsenal. A unit works best for best sellers lists however you could create units for new products, special offers and more.
A unit takes about 10 minutes to set up, and around 5 minutes to update each week, but provides the affiliate with a top performing piece of creative (around 10% impression to click) which has seen us deliver approx 200000 clicks to merchants last month.
So how much does our service cost – Zip, nada, nil, nothing – for our self service scheme. Of course if you want us to do the creating/updating then there’s a cos, but if you do it yourself, then it’ll cost you nothing, but 5 minutes per week (per unit).
You can read more about our Merchants Page.
We currently have 59 merchants who’ve created 132 managed units for their affiliates, if you’d like to join them get in touch so that I can set up your merchant account.
Here’s an example, but one of the key features of ECU is that whilst the merchant controls the products, the affiliate controls the styling, so that it fit’s in with their website:
