Bento Box - Product Update
*NEW* Automated Voucher Codes!
|
Meytal Markman, Marketing Communications
Get all your vouchers, promotions and linking code in one place
What if you could see all your voucher codes, all together, all in one spot? ...and with your personal linking code too? With the release of the Coupon Web Service last year, all this information became available to you in XML format.
Now we have taken the Coupon Web Service one step further to bring you the first Bento Box tool of 2010 - the Voucher Finder.
All your vouchers, plus your code, in one big easy-to-read table!
How does it work?
1. As the Voucher finder is built on the Coupon Web Service, you need to apply to the Coupon Web Service.
2. One you've been accepted into the Coupon Web Service (this can take up to 24 hours), you're ready to go. Just copy your Web Services token from here...
3. ...and paste it into the Voucher Finder page.
4. That's it! If you want to view all the Voucher Codes your partners have available, just click the “View Voucher Codes” button, and voila - all your promotional information, codes, valid dates and tracked destination URL appear in the table below. If you have something more specific in mind, you can also search by Category and by Promotion Type.
What else?
The Voucher Finder is about more than just Voucher Codes. You will also find many other current consumer promotions in the Voucher Finder. And if you need more than just the tracked destination URL, just click the "Get Link Code" link and a new window or tab will open up with your personal linking code.
Do you need to be logged in to the Publisher Interface?
Well, yes and no... Yes, in order to grab your Web Services token & Yes, if you want to view full linking code with “Get Link Code”. Otherwise, to see all the codes as well as your personal tracked destination URL, NO! Just plug in your token and search through all your codes and promotional information.
Do you need help with this?
We can help! Please send any questions and feedback to UKSupport@LinkShare.com we'd love to hear from you.

Tip of the Month
Improve your visibility in the Find New Affiliates tool |
|
Darren Newmark, Network Development Manager
Did you know that merchants can search for affiliates in the LinkShare Network who have not yet applied to their program?
The Find New Affiliates tool helps merchants expand their affiliate program because it allows them to target new affiliates by:
• Demographic category (Arts, Entertainment, Health, Sports)
• Active versus inactive
• Date the affiliate joined LinkShare
• Monthly unique visitors
• Total number of page views
• Geographic location (city, county, postcode or country)
• Keyword
Most importantly the Find New Affiliates tool allows merchants to search by keyword and we know that our merchants are both product and demographic search to find more affiliates.
When you signed you will have filled in the basic details about your site. But you can expand on this in the Marketing Channel section of the Publisher Interface. It is quite likely that you have not touched this since you signed up so it worth going back and checking that you are promoting your website as well as possible and make it easy for merchants to find you!
Go to My Account -> Marketing Channel
Select to 'Edit' your Marketing Channel
Tip: When updating your keywords think about what you focus on and your audience reach. For example, if you are a fashion company, you will need to have the keyword fashion in your description and even go as far as to list products that you review or talk about e.g. jeans, skirts, t-shirts etc. Alternatively, if you target high end consumers then 'high end consumers' etc.
Click here to go straight to the page where you can update this info. It might take a few minutes but it could really help build your programs up.
