It’s Time To Say Thanks to Goldsmiths

A big thank you to Goldsmiths who very kindly emailed me to tell me I won their recent affiliate prize draw via LinkShare. I’m now a very happy owner of one Hugo Boss Gents watch with blue chronograph dial and very nice it is too. Usually when we’re lucky enough to win something (or a merchant just sends something as a thank you) the items tend to get recycled as prizes - but not this time! It does need a little adjustment as it’s way too big wrist wise, but other than I’m well chuffed with this

It’s not the usual iPod or vouchers, but something I’d probably look at in a shop and want to buy but “Mr Sensible Head” would interfere and I’d walk away from it!

So a big thanks to Goldsmiths….

However, there’s more to winning the incentive than just having a nice new watch!

Firstly it made me a look a lot more closely at LinkShare and their merchants - there’s some nice brands, albeit retail based, on board (e.g. House of Fraser, Wyevale, Koodos, Uniqlo and Lego) and they do have product feeds. It’s early days and I have to say that the user interface is a bit quirky but we’ll see how we get on.

Secondly it made me look a bit more at Goldsmiths and hopefully in the coming months we can do some more sales for them. It will be challenge, mainly because time (pardon the pun) is in short supply and the retail sector isn’t always the most profitable one for us to focus upon. However a few commissions from sales of their Corum Gents Golden Bridge Watch would be very nice!
