It was great to catch up with many of our affiliates at the a4uexpo last week. We had a great couple of days at Excel catching up with partners and meeting new faces and I hope that you enjoyed the event too.
EXCLUSIVE PRIZE DRAWS
I just wanted to remind those that attended that some of our merchants have provided prizes that are available exclusively to affiliates who attended the a4uexpo this week. There are some great prizes up for grabs including a deluxe beauty hamper from Avon worth £100, a £200 online shopping spree at Karen Millen and even a holiday for 2 with Blue Inc!!
All you need to do is drive orders for the selected merchants between 15th October and 30th November 2009.
Each order equals 1 entry into that merchant’s prize draw, it's that simple!
Check out the web page for more information on what you can win, and join the programs now to get started!
Last Call for Networking
Getting Geared Up for the Holiday Season
Over the past few months LinkShare UK have been running a string of intimate networking sessions in the run up to the Holiday season encouraging Advertisers and Publishers to meet face-to-face to build their working relationships.
Each session is based on the idea of 'speed-dating', with numerous one-to-one meetings scheduled for you throughout the afternoon. This is a format which has proven to be extremely productive at our previous events.
There is one date left before the end of the year, so you still have time to get involved:
• Tuesday 10th November (3-6pm)

Please Explain
How do I locate a specific order?
To locate any of your orders, follow these steps:
Go to My Account > Payment Info > Transaction Search link
You can search for a specific order processed in the LinkShare system for your account within here. If the system cannot find the order, and at least 7 days have passed since the order was placed, click on the Submit Transaction Inquiry link to send an inquiry to the Advertiser. The Advertiser will be notified of your inquiry.
Although the transaction inquiries system is designed to assist you in communicating with Advertisers to resolve any possible transaction issues, you are ultimately responsible for resolving all such issues directly with Advertisers. By providing you with access to this functionality, LinkShare shall not be deemed to have undertaken or assumed any duty or obligation with respect to your relationship with any advertiser.
