We've moved...

Our affiliate blog has moved to affiliates.iwantoneofthose.com.
As well as a shiny new look and a brand new creative section, the new affiliate area keeps everything in one place for our affiliates.
The new creative section includes page peel ads, videoboxes and gift finder banners - and if that's not enough, you get to see Julian in a Christmas hat.

IWOOT Affiliate Competition for September

Come Paintballing With IWOOT

We've been thinking hard how we can get to know our affiliates better and decided that chasing them with a gun around a forest might be one way. So today we'd like to announce the launch of IWOOT's new affiliate competition which will produce two teams - IWOOT's and Affiliates' - that will battle it out in a paintballing challange. We've devised 6 different categories that will compare affiliates' performance throughout September and hopefully give everybody a chance to win.

I'm Leaving IWOOT

It's been a tough decision, yet after a great two and a half years as part of the IWOOT family i've decided it's time for me to move on in order for both myself and IWOOT to achieve our future objectives.

As i'll be leaving at the end of August this is not likely to be my last post, but as i'm currently working closely with a lot of you on projects for this Xmas, I wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible.

You're left in good hands as i've built what I feel is a great team here at IWOOT towers and both Julian and Rich will be on hand to take the IWOOT affiliate program to greater heights and to work on any campaigns / problems going forward.

I've had a fantastic time at IWOOT over the last few years and I feel we've had a real 50/50 relationship whereas every day i've learn't and taught something new with the business. I'll miss all the guys at IWOOT, I'll miss working everyday with Julie Wood from AW, ill miss you guys (our affiliates) and will look back at the trips to Whistler / Silverstone we've had with fondness.

My mobile no. should you need me now or after I leave IWOOT is 07864803618, I'm sure the future will bring great things for myself and IWOOT and I look forward to announcing a new position with a new company in due course.

If you have any questions about how this will affect the IWOOT campaign (and hopefully it really wont) give me a shout on my mobile above or at paul.smith@iwantoneofthose.com

IWOOT Launches the Bargain Zone!

Given the current air of economic uncertainty and people prefering to buy petrol instead of racing grannies (a strange one, we know!), we've decided to launch a Bargain Zone at IWOOT, where you can find all our goodies that we managed to reduce in price a bit. We've also created a couple of banners for you to use and make the most of this opportunity, as we expect some good conversion from this page.

If you require banners of a different size please let me know and they shall be provided!



(Banners also available in the AWIN control panel)

Festival Fun Banners & Products

It's the season for festivals and we've been blessed with some surprisingly decent weather, so we here at I Want One Of Those thought it would be quite nice to have some festival banners done for our lovely affiliates. You can find them below (click on them for full res versions) or in the Affiliate Window control panel as usual. I've also picked 6 of our festival bestsellers, check them out at the end of the post.

IWOOT At The Buy.At Football Tournament

Sporting arguably the most stylish of football kits (well, kinda), we at the IWOOT team were very excited about our debut at the Buy.At Football Tournament. We were quite detrmined to leave a mark, although after a couple of minutes of play we realised that pure enthusiasm alone won't get us far. And it didn't. With 1 draw and 3 losses (don't even ask about goal difference) we were amongst the first to head off to the bar - not something you'll usually hear us complaining about.


Big thanks nonetheless to Buy.At for organising a great Friday afternoon and to all players in the team that wore the team colours with pride. I am sure we'll be back stronger next year - you've been warned, Telegraph!
