Money Maker: New Banners for Associates

March 31, 2009


Here are the first marketing banners from Zazzle that will make linking and earning referred sales even easier! For the first time, Zazzle is providing banners you can use to send customers to our hottest seasonal selling items — Mother’s Day gifts and custom wedding postage and stationery.

It’s easy to get started immediately, just grab the banners from the links below and plug them into your website, blog or emails to friends and family. Include your unique rf code, in your links so when anyone clicks on one of the banners and buys something at Zazzle, you will have at least 15% of the sale credited to your account.

Here are the best seasonal landing pages (replace [rfid] with your own rf id):

  • http://www.zazzle.com/wedding+gifts?rf=[rfid]
  • http://www.zazzle.com/easter+cards?rf=[rfid]      (you must message: “Use code SPRINGCARD30 upon checkout for 30% off Zazzle cards” for these banners)

Force The zBar!

March 6, 2009

Quick update!!

I’ve been receiving a lot of emails lately about how to force the zBar every time you send someone to one of your product pages or your own store page. So I figured it would be best to post it here so you guys could spread the word! Here’s the deal, you need to read this post first (zBar – Do You Come Here Often?) just so you know how to build a basic referral link. IF you need to figure out what your associate ID is, simply click here (http://www.zazzle.com/my/gallery/associate/associate) and you will be prompted to log in, but once you do it will take you to a page with your Associate ID in bold.

OK, now that you know how to set up a referral link, you will have to append the follow snippet of code in order to force the zBar:

?zbar=true OR &zbar=true

Remember, the zBar only works when using the correct referral ID for the store you are referring traffic to, in addition to adding the ‘zBar’ code to your link .

Some of you have multiple stores and will have to make sure to use the right referral ID when linking to the right product pages and store pages.

This is what you links should look like:

And that’s basically it!
