LoveFilm: the 11th most visited online retailer in the UK
We are now one the top 100 websites in the UK, and last month the 11th most popular online retailer (putting us ahead of a number of big names including ASOS, Apple and HMV).
We are the second most visited movie website in the UK after IMDB.
LOVEFiLM is particularly popular with young professionals and therefore receives much of its traffic from London and other big cities such as Manchester and Glasgow.
We have less reliance on search than most, key sources of visits are social networks (8th most popular retailer visited after Facebook), email and entertainment websites – with much of the former traffic coming via affiliates

World Cup promotion is live - win £500
Looking forward to the kick off, we have been playing football in the car park today and I was part of an England team that lost after having 2 goals disallowed. Lets hope the real team does better.
A4UAWARDS 2010 Book of the night now available
Nice to be able to flick thought it online rather than risking everyone losing them by the time the drunken taxi rides started.

LOVEFiLM are Highly Commended at the A4U Awards

For the 2nd year in a row we were given the high commended award in the category for the best use of affiliate marketing in a wider campaign. Sky managed to beat us to the award this year and some good natured fighting talk had been exchanged before they took the award home.
Still, nice to be highly commended again and I hear our category was very competitive in the eyes of the judges.
Well done to Affiliate Window and Vouchercodes.co.uk who picked up several awards each, while my friends at Experian/Credit Expert once again won in the finance vertical category.
Full results can be found here

LOVEFiLM LOVE FOOTBALL
LOVEFiLM is well aware of the World Cup and we know people fall into 2 groups when it comes to watching a movie this month:
1. People looking to continue the high of the game with a great film
2. People looking to escape football fever with a great film
Either way we have it covered thanks to our range of 67,000 titles.
Win £500 every day
Not only can people sign up for our free trial this month but everyone who signs up will also have the chance to win £500 every day.
Extra Time
It’s a Watch Online free-for-all throughout the World Cup period, as we add lots of new and free films to our online range, all free for our members.
So you can rent some films, win £500 and watch a bunch of great titles from your computer, and I am not even mentioning our plans to give away Blu-ray players and a big sexy Sony TVs as well to our members.
The World Cup promotion will start on Friday 11th and run until 11th July, when hopefully we will watch England pick up the trophy. Banners and links will be updated on Friday and if you have any custom links please be sure to review and check. More information will follow later this week.

Giving your dad a gift and getting something for yourself - new from LOVEFiLM
- Father gets a LOVEFiLM membership (4-12 months) and also a book or DVD in a nice shiny box (and all suitable dad films such as Rocky and The Hangover)
- Son/Daughter gets a £10 voucher to spend at Amazon for themselves
- Affiliate gets £4 for every gift they sell
Gifts start from just £16 so there is something to suit all budgets. We are now going to push the hell out of this with our affiliates so hope all gifting affiliates can get involved, and I can see it working for voucher affiliates as well due to the Amazon voucher you get just for buying the gift.

All members to get free movie streaming
LoveFilm has launched a campaign in which members can watch thousands of films and TV series online for free via the LoveFilm Player. This makes the service even more attractive to potential members that you can promote our service to.
Major film studios Dreamworks, Momentum and Paramount are backing the promotion, which starts on 11 June and will be supported by a multi-million-pound online and offline ad campaign.
Users can watch films and TV series – including UK exclusives like BAFTA-nominated Let The Right One In and Oscar-winner Departures – on their computers and web-enabled TVs.
Chief marketing officer Simon Morris said, “This is our biggest digital promotion and a first of its kind in the UK. This month-long trial is a great way to highlight our full DVD and digital streaming hybrid offering.”
