January 2006 - The Inside Track Affiliate News
Dear Partner,
Happy New Year! We hope you had a happy and prosperous holiday season. At
21st, we are just starting our holiday season - more quotes are generated in
January and February than any other months of the year. We guess it's
customers making good on those New Year's resolutions. To help you make the
most of this season we've made it even easier to make money in the 21st
Affiliate program. We are introducing a new banner that will allow customers
to start quotes directly from your site. We also introduced a new
incentive program enabling you to make up to $12 a quote - the highest
in the industry! We have a lot of important news to share with you this month.
So, without further delay...
In the News!
January is your last chance to win $2500 (one year worth of gasoline) with 21st. This month also happens to be the start of the strongest quarter for car insurance quotes. Now is the perfect time to start or expand your advertising with 21st. You'll see more conversions then ever, increasing your profits, all while having a chance to win $2,500!
Don't forget, there are two grand prizes. Affiliates who have been with us for longer then two months can win the $2,500 grand prize by generating the largest amount of growth in quotes, while NEW or INACTIVE affiliates also have a chance to win in a separate grand prize contest for $2,500. Full contest details can be found at www.holidayblitz2005.com.
If you haven't started yet, there is still plenty of time left in January to participate in this contest. Especially with January being one of the hottest months for car insurance!
Back in October we asked all of our partners to participate in a survey asking questions about the 21st affiliate program. We received a lot of great information from everybody and implemented two of the most sought-after changes. First, we upped our commission to a $6.00 base in December with a chance to make up to $12.00 per quote. We also recently added a new zip box creative that should help website owners tremendously in promoting 21st, making the transition from site to offer seamless.
21st offered a $200 random prize to participants in this survey and the winner of that prize is: Crystal Sloan of Eagle Ridge Technologies, Inc.! -- Congratulations!
Thank you to everyone who participated!
During our survey, many affiliates demanded a new creative that interacted with the consumer more and transferred the data to the 21st quote form. We are happy to give our affiliates what they want! You can now get a zip box data transfer creative in our advanced links. I have tested it myself and it works great! This is just another tool that you can use to ramp up promotion in January and to compete in the $2,500 contest.
