Christmas commission comes early

The Accounts team have put on their Santa hats and will be paying out November commission in time for Christmas. November 09 commission will be paid out from Tuesday 15 December 09 send us your invoices as usual by the end of Monday 21 December and we'll get your November commission to you either by post or directly into your bank account.

If you want us to pay it to you via PayPal that's fine, but don't forget that you'll have to pay the PayPal service charge.

NEW NEW NEW! Focus and track your marketing with dmABS 1.6.B.2

The latest dmABS release is now live and available for download. With dmABS 1.6.B.2 you can now:

• Customise your marketing message: embed Number Chooser frames into other sites that tell your marketing story. Customers stay on your chosen site for the first part of the sales process, and use dmABS just as the checkout system, giving you new flexibility in tailoring your marketing strategies, branding and SEO.
• Influence the services or price plans potential customers see first when they click through to your site with tailored Number Chooser parameters. This feature enables you to focus your sales with precise marketing propositions, and can shorten the sales path by up to six clicks.
• Track your campaigns: tag your campaigns, see which ones are successful, and refine your marketing for maximum value.

The feedback's been pretty good so far. Ryan, one of our pioneer dealers, told us "We are definitely going to save on irrelevant clicks and most importantly cost-per-acquisition". Click on the links below to view demos of the new tools in action, or to download dmABS 1.6.B.2 for yourself:

BTR Grand Prix: the rematch

BTR Grand Prix STOP PRESS! In a dramatic twist, we've decided to run a rematch early next year.

Confession time: the tools took a bit longer to get ready than we expected, so competitors didn't get quite enough time to get set up, and the starting line was a bit ragged. We'd like to say a huge thank you to the pioneer dealers who took part we learned a lot, and heard some great suggestions some of which we've already put into practice in the new release.

But in the interests of sporting fairness, we've decided to treat this Grand Prix as a practice lap. So we're running a bigger, better rematch next February with double the starting cash. dmClub will give competitors x300 of marketing seed money, and the competition will run for 2 months rather than one. The prize will be a further x500 of further marketing money, for the dealer who earns the most in sales through their tracked campaigns.

Alongside the original competitors, we're opening up an extra 3 places in the February 2010 Grand Prix for new entrants. So if you didn't get a place in the competition last time, now's your chance to get involved. Email dealersupport@dmclub.net now if you'd like a place in the competition.

Happy holidays
