Christmas 2008: Important Dates

December 20 "When It Absolutely, Positively, Needs to Be There" Last Ship Date – For most retailers, this is the absolute last day that they will ship an item to guarantee delivery for Christmas. Keep in mind, most retailers will charge an extra fee for the rush delivery. It is a good idea to check with your advertisers to confirm their last ship date. Most advertisers list their last ship dates on the Christmas Publisher Promotions and Christmas Consumer Promotions pages.

December 26th Post-Christmas Sales
You have survived the busy Christmas shopping season. Now is the time to take advantage of consumers looking to spend their holiday cash and gift cards on post-Christmas sales.

Inside the Publisher Dashboard
What is LinkShare Signature and how can it help you?
With LinkShare Signature you can track and generate detailed reports on the commerce activity generated by your site. The reports provide information down to the transaction level of each individual member, organization, or subsite. Using Signature makes tracking, managing, and optimizing internal programs efficient and cost-effective.

The Signature Order report lets you view orders down to the individual user level. It is available to publishers using our Signature technology, and includes Member ID, Advertiser, Order ID, Date, SKU#, Sales, Quantity, Commissions, Process Date, and Process Time. This report is based on process date - the date that LinkShare receives and processes an advertiser's transaction file. The transaction file may contain transactions from the day it was submitted or from two months earlier. Since report data is based on the date the transactions were processed, the reports generated by Signature will reconcile exactly with payments.
