We’ve just sent the following newsletter about our January bonus offer to our affiliates:

Dear Webmaster,

We hope you had a great Christmas and New Year and that all your affiliate activities are going well so far in 2008.

Many of your website visitors may have unwanted Christmas presents they don’t know what to do with, so now is a great time to be promoting Hitflip on your site as the place to swap unwanted gifts for what you really want! If you haven’t already checked out our new landing pages, have a look, conversion rates have greatly increased since we introduced them late last year.

As a special January offer to thank you for your contribution to Hitflip’s success in 2007, we are offering a bonus for each active swapper you bring to Hitflip during the month. Instead of the usual £8, your bonus will take this up to £13 per active user, giving you the potential to earn up to £15 per sign-up!

That’s it from us, stay tuned for further offers and bonuses during 2008!

Hitflip received some great coverage over the Christmas period, with the Telegraph twice choosing Hitflip as one of the best sites to use to get rid of unwanted Christmas presents.

The Telegraph write that: “Hitflip, for example, allows you to build a virtual library of all the DVDs, games, CDs and books you’re prepared to swap, and charges about 79p per item.”

We also received a short mention in Web User, who say that “The UK version of the German swap site charges 79p to swap most items, which might seem off-putting for low-value trades but should also weed out the jokers.” . As always, you can read the full articles here.
