I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with Dave, and although I only memorised two or three functions without having to look at the ‘cheat sheet’, if you spend a little time with him you can have him interacting with you and those around you seamlessly. The video below gives an idea of how Dave works, and if you are anything like us you’ll want to give Dave The Cheeky Monkey a home this Christmas!

We are expecting stock to arrive in our warehouse towards the end of October, and we recommend you get your pre-orders in now as although we will be receiving plenty of stock we expect them to be swinging their way out of our doors even quicker than they arrive!

Well I’m quite excited today as we’ve just received a delivery from the warehouse with some of our new items. Although this is a regular occurrence the reason I’m particularly excited this time is that I’ve been tasked with testing out a couple of the items. The Cakewich Cake Mould and M-Cups Russian Doll Style Dry Measuring Cups. I love to bake so I’m always up for testing out any new kitchen products, watch out for more details next week.

Also today we’ve launched our Easter Promotion. Free standard delivery on all order over £50. This promo will only be running until Midnight on Monday 5th April so make sure you don’t miss out.

Have a great weekend everybody.

P.S Don’t forget clocks go forward this weekend.

I started working for Gadgets.co.uk in September of last year doing various things, mainly copy, and blog writing. I was offered the position of Affiliate Manager recently and after some careful consideration, I was persuaded that as all the folks in the affiliate community are so friendly and such a good laugh that it was a move I should look to make! So here I am, having just launched our 2008 Affiliate Christmas promo. Outside of work I am an avid follower of both London Wasps and Tottenham Hotspur , though with both doing appallingly so far this season I’m not entirely sure why (idea’s on a postcard please!). I also like my video games, many an evening is spent on Rock Band, Mario Kart, or similar. Music features highly in my social list, I’ve been a regular visitor to both Download and Reading festivals, and various gigs in between.

I am also something of an actor, and am infamous about the office and among my friends for this clip in particular, be warned it is not for the faint of heart!

*Statement regarding taste is open to interpretation and any claim to wealth is just a downright lie.

First of all if any of you haven’t been to look at our site recently I would highly recommend it, as we’ve completely redesigned the site. Since the new design went live we’ve had very positive feedback from customers and both order levels and conversion have improved.

Anyway, onto the really exciting stuff and our 2008 Affiliate Christmas Promotion.

First up we will be running bi-weekly prize draws giving away a super sexy new 8GB 4th Generation iPod Nano. This will work on a simple raffle basis with each sale starting from today giving you one raffle ticket (the more sales you make the better chance of winning although everyone is in with a chance). The first draw will be Monday 13th October, followed by draws on 27th October, 10th November, 24th November, 8th December and finally 22nd December.

Of course with a limited number of prizes we can only spread so much Christmas cheer, so we are also introducing a special Christmas commission structure. Currently every sale will generate 10% commission for all affiliates. However every affiliate generating over £500 worth of sales in a month will earn 12% commission on that months total. And top performers generating over £1,500 worth of sales will earn 15% on all sales that month, so a 50% increase on our normal commission.

• 10% – All Affiliate Sales
• 12% – for monthly sales of £500 – £1,499
• 15% – for monthly sales of £1,500 +

We particularly feel that with the Christmas rush meaning more sales and bigger basket values this structure gives you a real chance at earning some serious cash and some nice bonus prizes!

In order to help you maximise conversions we will be running a series of special offers all the way up to Christmas which we will be pushing out here on our blog and through affiliate newsletters. We will also be providing some great eye catching creative for you to use which will all be available through Affiliate Window once our highly talented team have put the finishing touches to it in the next few days

So if you’re still reading at this point and haven’t already rushed off to start promoting us I guess you’ll be wanting me to reel off even more reasons why you should push Gadgets.co.uk this Christmas. Right then, deep breath:

• Fresh New Website
• 100′s of great gadgets and gifts catering for anyone and everyone
• 10% basic commission, with our special Christmas tier structure taking this up to a potentially massive 15%
• Fantastic generic domain
• Established trusted website that’s been online since 2001
• Me. Not to be too egotistical but simply put, if you participate in our program you will be dealing with me, and just me. So I can give you that personal touch getting to know exactly what you want/need

Of course I’m always available and willing to help. So if you require anything in addition to what we’ve listed here, or clarification on anything please don’t hesitate to give me a shout. I’m on Email or MSN at – Dirk@Gadgets.co.uk, or you can phone me on 01923750075
