Affiliates,

Affiliate Window are pleased to let you know there is now a new version of the desktop alert available from within your accounts. The new version is required because Skinkers, the company that power the software, have upgraded the backend service and migrated us to new servers. This means all current users are required to upgrade in order to continue using the AWin DTA.

In order to download the latest version simply follow the instruction here; please remember that you will need to use your DTA password, as listed on this page, as your usual AWin password will not work.

Affiliate Window’s Desktop Alerts delivers only the most important information direct to your desktop. The Desktop Alert appears;
- Each time you generate a commission.
- Whenever there is important network news, such as high profile programme launch.

Desktop Alerts will appear throughout the day, without you needing to log-in to your account. The Desktop Alert icon that sits in the System Tray (located in the bottom right hand corner of your screen) gives you a one-click automated login access point to your Affiliate Window Administration Area. This instant access enables you to instantly check your performance stats and merchant programme details.

Any affiliates who hadn’t previously installed the software can do so now via the link above.

If you have any questions then please drop us an e-mail at support@affiliatewindow.com.

Methods of Communication

The next step is to select the best way to talk to your affiliates. The key methods are as follows:

News Manager

Our dedicated email tool where you can choose to adopt a simple text format or HTML if you wish to include images and deep links. It’s perfect for communicating anything from general announcements directed at all affiliates to specific one-to-one messages.

Affiliate Newsletter

This grants some exposure to merchants that have recently launched on the network, but also contains sections on the Merchant of the Month, the Offer of the Week and Featured promotions. If you have a particularly strong offer, it’s a good medium to let affiliates know about it, log into your account and click on the Affiliate Newsletter link on the right hand side, fill out the online submission form and Bobs your uncle!  If you need help or advice please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your point of contact at Affiliate Window.

Here is an example of the latest Affiliate Newsletter

A4U Forum

A popular industry forum, the A4U Forum is where merchants, affiliates and networks come together to discuss a range of topical issues in the industry as well as merchant-specific threads. There is a dedicated forum for Affiliate Window, which is the only network forum to have a promotions section, so it is good practice to visit this regularly and get some extra exposure for any promotions you may have. To visit the site, click here and please get in touch with your point of contact if you would like a guide on how to use it.

AWin Offers Blog

This is another great platform for miscellaneous communication, with dedicated categories for new programmes, promotions, policy changes and closures. Subscribing affiliates can even receive automatic live updates on particular sections, including offers emerging from specific sectors, allowing your promotions to reach a much wider audience! For a step-by-step guide on how to use this, you can click on ‘Offers Blog’ under ‘Communication Tools’ in the merchant administration area.

One-to-One Communication (E-mail, telephone and Instant Messaging)

It is good practice to keep in regular one-to-one contact with your top performers to ensure they have all they need to promote you effectively. Ask your point of contact if you need contact details.
