Dear all,
As the nation prepares to say goodbye to 2011, us folks at On the Beach are very busy getting ready for 2012! We have some fantastic new products, offers and incentives to really help you hit the ground running in January and would like to share with you how best to promote us and what you will get in return.
Before I start, we wanted to say a massive “thank you” to everyone who has promoted On the Beach this year and supported us during the network change. We are very much looking forward to 2012 and with the help of our dynamic tools and with Affiliate Window’s help, we are confident 2012 will be the best year ever for On the Beach affiliates.
January / February Consumer Campaigns and Key Messages:
*Early is the New late! - If your New Year's resolution is to spend less and save more in 2012, let us help you keep it! Last year, booking early saved our customers up to £300 per person compared with late bookings, and they got first choice of flights and accommodation to boot!
*Late Balance Payments! Everyone needs something to look forward to, and with the economic climate as it is and the strain of Christmas, what better time to secure your beach holiday - without having to drain the old funds! From now on, when you book your holiday with a full deposit, you'll have until 4 weeks before your departure to pay your final balance (most online travel agents expect you to pay three months before)! And now that ALL our hotel deposits are only £10pp, and our low flight deposits start from only £65pp, it's never been simpler or cheaper to find your dream getaway!
*School Holidays from only £136pp - Get booking early and save big!
*Last Minute Deals from £94pp – Can’t wait until summer? Then don’t! With On the Beach you can grab yourself one of thousands of great bargain holidays, travelling within the next 10 weeks – from as little as £94pp. What are you waiting for!

*Complete Financial Protection – Your holiday is safe with us - With our very own ATOL licence, charter operator own cover and On the Beach Trust – you can be 100% confident that every element of your holiday will be protected.

Live Inventory Tools
Using Live Inventory to improve usability and increase conversion - Distribute Travel
It’s a proven fact that housing live inventory on your website is the single most effective way of increasing conversion. We have all used the HTML searches and widgets commonly on offer by merchants, but leading the way with new technology for affiliates is Distribute Travel, who have developed a selection of tools and white labels for you to pick up and use yourselves – in a few easy steps! More information on these tools are available in the AWin interface, but in short:
On The Beach branded White label: Simply put your AWIN tracking Id into the tools when creating a search box or deep link and results return in On the Beach branding in a white label Meta search. Deep links are customisable and allow for rolling time periods e.g. 30-45 days ahead, meaning that links can stay live without the need for constant updating.

Own Brand White Label:
We are able to offer those affiliates generating significant sales per month (approximately 10 sales per month) a white label in your own branding. Please let us know if you are interested in this and we will arrange set up.
Don’t forget: Use the Distribute Travel tools in Jan and earn an extra 1% on all flight & hotel bookings.
