Happy New Year!

This month we want you to start off the New Year right by earning more commission in 2009 with Viator. Now is a great time to refresh your home page or destination pages with new Viator Ad Banners, Dynamic Widgets and Product Listings.

 
MAKE MORE COMMISSION IN 2009 !
 
Here are a couple "MUST DO" items for earning more commission this year:

# 1 - Use HTML Headers (and footers) that match your website

Viator offers a number of header options including a Logo (good), Graphical Header (better), and HTML Header (best!). The best converting Viator Partners are those that match the look and feel of their website with the Viator Partner site. For more information, click here.

# 2 - Use iFrame widgets to automate your Marketing

Having outdated product information and prices on your website will fustrate visitors. Our iframe widgets are dynamically updated and always provide visitors with the current price and product lists -- plus they are EASY to set-up. For more information, click here.


# 3 - Feature Products that are newsworthy or topical

Our Top Partners actively update products listed on their websites based on the news, season, and events. Products like these are great examples:

Obama Inauguration: Washington DC Guided Day Tour
Upcoming Movies/DVDs: Harry Potter Black Taxi Tour of London
New Shows: Mary Poppins on Broadway

Adding Viator Product links is easy -- for more information, click here.

# 4 - Add a focus on Special Offer products

Another way to drive sales is to highlight Viator products on your website that are on sale or have special offers. You can find these listed on Viator destination pages or by searching keywords with "special offer" (example: "Special Offer London")- Note: when searching, be sure to use your Viator Partner site so that you capture your Partner ID in the URL.



# 5 - General Links are ok, but Contextual Links are BEST

Adding Viator links that are contextual to your website text or page will increase sales conversion. General links (like "Book Tours") will drive traffic, but the traffic will usually be VERY low in converting. Here are some samples of contextual links:

- Book the Best Paris Tours (on a page about Paris)
- "See San Francisco the fun way - on an exciting Segway Tour! It's really easy and different…."
- Vegas Strip Helicopter Tours - ON SALE NOW
