Affiliate Summit is Going to be H-O-T
Things are full steam ahead over here at Revenue. We are sending the magazine to the printer today and at the same time gearing up for the Affiliate Summit show in Miami. It's going to be hot, hot, hot - literally.
We've got some fun things planned for the show. So, be sure to drop by our booth. It's lucky no. 62.
We won't have the new issue (July/August 2007) in time to hand out at the conference but if you ask really, really nicely you may just get a peak at my personal dummy copy (no, obvious jabs here, please). Your chances to see the preview edition go significantly up if you buy me a drink.
However, we will most certainly have the upcoming cover on display and if you stop by and fill out our qualification card for a free subscription to the magazine, we'll give you a special advanced copy of our gossip and rumor column written by The Spider. That means you'll be seeing The Spider BEFORE it's hot off the presses. How cool is that? There's only a limited number of copies so come by early and fill out the qual card. Gossip, rumors, industry dirt, innuendo, speculation plus a free subscription - it's a win-win-win-win-win-win deal.
And speaking of The Spider, we'll be conducting a little experiment using Reactee.com. Affiliate Summit co-founder Missy Ward and Shawn Collins wore their Reactees at the LinkShare Symposium in New York and got a good response - all while looking very stylin'. The Spider hates to be outdone, so the Revenue team is joining in the SMS fun.
We'll also be doing some cool video stuff in our booth (#62, in case you've already forgotten). If all goes well, we should be streaming live from the show floor. Fingers crossed. There will be a webcam running and those of you not attending the show can get a peek at the buzz at the Revenue Booth by coming back to www.RevenueToday.com on Monday and Tuesday during the show - July 9 and 10). For those of you attending the show, drop by and let a co-worker (and the rest of the online world) that wasn't able to make it to Affiliate Summit know exactly what they are missing.
I'll also be trying to provide as many blog updates as possible (between all my networking and educational sessions and maybe a drink or two). Check back in with my blog for all the haps.
Our Revenue booth babes (term used very loosely and lovingly) will also be armed with a video camera so we can capture snippets of whatever you are interested in talking about. After I return from the show and sift through all the video, I'll be posting them at RevenueToday.com/Videos. Don't forget to come back and see if you are a big star.
And, if you just can't live without meeting Senior Editor Eric Reyes (or me) in person. Come by the booth on Tuesday between 11:30 and 12:30pm. We'll be signing autographs, posing for pictures and singing old folk songs. Okay, we'll really be there to hear whatever you have to say, get feedback about the magazine, listen to your pitch about why you should be in Revenue. This is always our favorite topic. Wink. Wink. And of course, we want to hear what your company is up to.
As if all that wasn't enough, Shawn Collins and I will be taping our Affiliate Thing podcast from the exhibit hall floor. We'll have a cavalcade of special guests stopping by to chat.
It's going to be a great time and I'm really excited.
See you in Miami.
