Letter from Figleaves UK: The Great Affiliate Scheme...
Posted by Adam Viener
So I got this email from Figleaves UK (through tradedoubler), and it starts out like this:
"The lead up to Christmas has brought with it staggering results for our Affiliate Scheme."
Scheme? Is that what this is? They then go on to say how they are raising their shipping fee to £2 per order "To bring us in line with other retailers".
Hmm.... I have been spending most of the day promoting free shipping deals...
Oh well.... To be fair, I do need to point out that their US program is very well run. I havn't gotten any "Scheme" emails from them...

For what it is worth, (I used to manage our UK office btw) scheme is a common term for the affiliate compensation model/program. They also call contests, competitions. Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to differences between English and American languages.
