Hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday weekend and enjoyed the sunshine!

In this month’s newsletter we are excited to announce the launch of our exclusive partnership with Easy Content Units. As a dgm affiliate you get exclusive access to Easy Content Units, meaning all dgm merchants’ links are now absolutely free; for the next 2 months you won’t find this generous offer anywhere else but with dgm.

Easy Content Units

Easy Content Units make it easy to:

  • Create your own bespoke content units
  • Add products from any combination of dgm’s wide range of merchants
  • Fully customise your own content units to fit your site
  • Create your own promotions: price comparison, best sellers etc.

You can also:

  • Add price comparison to any webpage
  • Showcase best sellers
  • Sell related products
  • Allow your users to choose size/colour of the product before they leave your site.

We’ve made some examples so that you can see for yourself how you would be able to implement ECUs onto your site.

We’re also incredibly excited to have our name against 4 awards at this year’s A4U Awards; publisher’s choice of affiliate network, publisher’s choice of Account Manager (Kevin Sutton), JD Williams is up for best Retail Merchant and Vodafone is in the running for best Technology & Telecoms Merchant.

We’re all looking forward to a great night on 2nd June and would like to thank those of you who voted for us!
Ciao for now,

Jess, Abi, Helen and the Team
