Toshiba Giveaway, Gifts and Christmas Drinks!

LOVEFiLM is everywhere this month. We were on TV, we are giving away TVs, we are in the post and under the Christmas tree!

Following last month's amazingly successful Sony TV giveaway we have topped it by giving away a Toshiba HD TV and DVD combo worth £1950 for the next 2 weeks.

Also our gifting service has picked up steam and proving very popular. The gifting banners are on the Tradedoubler program and today we are giving away a bonus commission of 15% on every gift box sold.

Lovefilm will be attending Tradedoubler drinks on the 17th by their office, so look forward to seeing some of you there.

New Site Launch

The new version of our site is now live and allowing everyone who visit to get access to all of the content a lot easier. This should help increase conversion for affiliates alonside our increase online spend and TV advertising.

Massive November Offer - LOVEFiLM is giving away TVs!

We've been drinking the funny water at LOVEFiLM and have decided to give away a TV every week in a prize draw for anyone who signs up for our 2 week trial. Not just any old TV mind, its a Sony 40 inch Bravia. All the new banners are on Tradedoubler right now with a special splash page.

Also, look out for the new adverts on TV, which should really help affiliate activity as always. New ad this time with Ray Winstone doing the voice over, and in September affiliates reaped the benefits as they were able to close the sale as we ran a similar campaign.

I'm please to finally say the LOVEFiLM SHOP is now live for affiliates to promote! Now you can buy as well as rent the top titles from us from you comfy, warm front room. Log into Tradedoubler to get the banners and product feed, the program ID is 60289 and program name is LOVEFiLM Retail. The other great thing is this Shop is available to everyone, there is no need to be an existing customer of our rental service.

Top 10 Titles To Promote

Hi Guys

Just a quick one right now, hope to announce the full LOVEFiLM SHOP details later today. For now here are the top 10 hot titles at LOVEFiLM that our members want to watch.
1. Lost – Season 3
2. Spider-Man 3
3. Fantastic Four – Rise Of The Silver Surfer
4. Tell No One
5. Next
6. Bridge To Terabithia
7. 300
8. Zodiac
9. Paradise Lost
10. 28 Weeks Later

If you run anything to do with comic books then might be worth including these titles when you promote our rental offer - 300, Fantastic 4, The Silver Surfer and Spiderman are some big names.
For Halloween we have 28 Weeks Later and Paradise Lost as good old scary movies, worth mentioning these if you are doing any activity around the night.

LOVEFiLM Pay As You Go

LOVEFiLM.COM, possibly the best thing to happen to the Internet since Al Gore invented it back in 1986, is launching a brand new offer on Tradedoubler. This event will be able to run along side our existing high performing DVD rental program as it is a separate service for those film lovers who may not watch enough to justify being on the subscription services as with Pay as You Go there are no monthly subscriptions and your DVD Rental credits will last 6 months before they expire.

The banners and everything you need should be on Tradedoubler in our creative area by the end of the day.

ad-tech

I'll be at the ad-tech event in London tomorrow so hope to see everyone there. I should be attending the Zanox affiliate event after the show as well.

The new developments are also nearly ready, I'll post them here when the testing is complete for the Lovefilm Shop and the Pay As You Go Service. We've also been working on gifting, which should be a big success for Christmas.

Did you know LOVEFiLM also rents games?

And we have lots of cool creative available on Tradedoubler? Check out the banner and the link to the refreshed splash page below and log into Tradedoubler to get your unique link. This is a great offer for anyone with a gaming site as we also have games for the next gen consoles and the latest titles.
