The freebiejeebies network is now open to customers who live in the Republic of Ireland. There is a nice range of offers, including a DVD rental offer.

As our world conquest continues our armies have landed on the not too distant shores of the Republic of Ireland.

I know we've had some people before wanting to sign up from here before but previously we've had no offers they could complete. Well now they can - they are a fully fledged supported country (they appear in the drop down list) and there are at present 6 offers for them to choose from shown here:

Offers

The first offer Screenclick.com is the Republic of Ireland arm of Lovefilm and the deal is the same - 14 day free trial, must rent at least one DVD.

Full details can be found in this forum thread

lol! I think there's not so much choice on US/Canadian offers at the moment. We are trying to find some new offers to add for our US/Canadian market to pick things up a bit.

How about if you could negociate a free-ish coffee offer? Like a 99c plus postage 5 cup of coffee bag with seattle? I know loads of my american friends wouldn't be able to resist that...

Unfortunately it just wouldn't pay enough... the Seattle Coffee offer we're running at the moment barely pays our minimum commission requirements per lead, and most of those customers shell out $20+ for that offer completion

What about having a half offer completion like some other networks do?

Because its a pain as this means we have to get someone to do two offers to make up to a full one.

rhysjones_1 · 30-05-09, 01:44 PM

Yeah but they may be more likely to do two offers that are easy than one which involves effort,

You would think that but in my experience, people did one offer and didnt do another one.

I dont know why, but they just didnt seem to want to do more than one offer.

rhysjones_1 · 30-05-09, 01:48 PM

Maybe it wasn't explained clearly enough that they had to do two?
Couldn't we get like a half credit or summin?

The networks can't make it too easy for everyone to cash out, or they will lose money in the long run

rhysjones_1 · 30-05-09, 02:51 PM

that depends on if they'd be loosing for these particular offers,

It's based on other things too. Like how many people actually cash out etc.

We did have some 1/2 and/or 1/3 offer credits when we first launched and these were clearly labelled as such but loads of people only completed one and not the other like Arctic said. We have done it before, and other networks have partial credits - we wouldn't completely rule it out but we prefer to run with just whole credits.

Gifts are given in whole referrals and it confuses people to be given partial credits; it would be even more confusing if there were also partial referral credits.

That's honestly not how we look at it... each referral we pay out on is also a new customer that in turn can bring us new customers. Our business model is sustainable and that means we're not relying on our customers to fall short of the requirements - on the contrary, we want to be giving out gifts because as much as anything else, it proves to others that it works

There are some US 'networks' where you have to complete life 5 offers for an iPhone (and then refer friends). It just gets too confusing, and makes the sites look unprofessional. They are always the sites that are in pop ups.

**arcticfox** · 30-05-09, 04:28 PM

Lol, can you make a "one third" offer because i just noticed I have a referral from when you first started that completed a 2 thirds offer.

lol, exactly... then that person wouldn't do the 1/3 offer to make it to a full credit, but someone else would complete one or two of them and be left with partial credit

lol, nah I like it there for novelty value. How many members can claim to have a 2/3 offer credit on freebiejeebies?
