Posted on November 19, 2008 by Kieron

For those of you who haven’t seen it Vodafone launched quite a low-key viral/promo this week to promote their range of Vodafone Netbooks called Meet LiveGuy.

It’s coming up to the busiest time of the year when some misguided retailers decide to lower or drop commission altogether on best selling products because they don’t think they need affiliates as certain in-demand products will sell very well on their own at this time of year, thanks very much. So, what a breath of fresh air when I got an email today from Dialaphone who – now get this – are actually increasing commission on one of the … Continue reading →
