We are proud to introduce five new ‘VIP welcome’ partner programmes at one go: all GameDuell partner programmes running with zanox (GameDuell DE, ES, DK, SE, NL) have been approved for the ‘VIP welcome’ status. GameDuell is one of Europe’s leading games communities with 10 million registered users.

‘VIP welcome’ programmes fulfill high quality criteria and offer certain benefits for zanox publishers. We asked Sebastian Timm (GameDuell), which particular advantages publishers will get from working with GameDuell as a ‘VIP welcome’ advertiser:

Sebastian Timm: “GameDuell publishers profit from our partner programme in a range of ways:

• We strive to structure our partner programme in a way that is as attractive as possible to as many publishers as possible. For this reason, we offer our publishers the possibility to advertise us with pop ups, layers or via cashback. In addition, we are GAP enabled and also offer post-view tracking.


• We are particularly proud of our advertising materials. As part of our partner programme, we have a large amount of regularly updated advertising materials which also include our so-called mini games. These are interactive advertising materials with content characters which have displayed above average conversion rates. We are able to offer the perfect mini game for almost all sites, whether a gaming site, sport site or dating site, due to the large range of mini games which we have on offer.


• Furthermore, offering our publishers personal assistance is very important to us in order to create a win-win situation for all parties. We, of course, consider individual and quick responses a must.


• We ensure our VIP publishers that all leads and sales will be confirmed and that all sales completed by the VIP publisher will already be approved after three days.”

Apart from the advantages for publishers, what does GameDuell regard as main benefits for themselves from being a ‘VIP welcome’ advertiser?

Sebastian Timm: “The developments in online marketing reflect the increasing importance of performance marketing. As a consequence, more and more companies have turned to affiliate marketing which means that it is not always easy for publishers to find the correct partner programme. Being a ‘VIP welcome’ advertiser is a great honour for us and allows us to show that we can meet the highest quality standards and that we are able to offer the publishers an attractive partner programme. The interest generated from the status will hopefully result in more publishers finding their way to us.
In addition, we are, of course, interested in attracting high quality publishers to our programme. The zanox VIP Club fills the required gaps due to the incorporation of VIP welcome advertisers and VIP publishers which I am particularly pleased about.”

Speaking about the zanox VIP Club in general, what does GameDuell think about it?

Sebastian Timm: “Affiliate Marketing is a market which is complex and also shows a high amount of flexibility in terms of professionalism. The zanox VIP Club rewards all market participants who constantly deliver quality and fulfill a variety of standards. This further emphasises the professionalisation of the market displayed by the zanox VIP Club.”

More information about the zanox VIP Club including an overview of all ‘VIP welcome’ programmes and their benefits for publishers are available on our VIP landing page.

Greetings from IAB Forum Milano. I am here with the lovely Italian team and some French and Spanish co-workers. We can already look back on one busy and successful day at Fiera Milano City .
A lot of new and existing clients stopped by our booth to talk about the latest trends in affiliate marketing as well as the zanox Application Store.
Our booth has been a magnet for networking, even long after the official part of the show. Our Spanish intra-company exchange programme participant Javier did a great job serving German beer.
We are looking forward to more interesting and productive meetings today. Visit us at booth # 23 if you are in the neighborhood.

For further information and some more pictures from the event please visit our Italian blog later today.

The Haiti-based group is called “Mi Corason De Grand Bassin” and consists of fifteen male and female entrepreneurs. They have a wide range of businesses ranging from phone cards and repairs, to used clothing to peanut sales. 23-year old Lazar Rolinx, one of three representatives of the group, sells phone cards for all of the major phone companies in the country. He has also created a relationship with another business that repairs phones. By developing his business, he hopes to be better able to support his family.

The second project we are investing in is the business of 28-year old Cesarían in Peru. The mother of four children plants bananas, corn, yucca, and ginger in their own fields. She is also in touch with buyers in Lima, so she can increase her income to be able to pay for her children’s education.  With her current loan  she wants to buy fertilizers and to clear the fields for the next ginger planting.

Our third bid goes to Chum Thon in Cambodia. The 28 years old father of four young children has been performing as a musician since 2007. With the 5 dollars he earns from that every day, and his wife making additionally 5 dollars per day from selling cakes, they make their living. Chum Thom wants to use his loan to purchase musical instruments.

We wish him and all the other entrepreneurs best of luck and hope that our bids help them to successfully develop their business!

In this episode, we’re giving you a little dmexco recap. We were especially happy about the great feedback on our Open Campus sessions during the show. Following this, we’re updating you on our Application Store partners and let you know what the “most wanted” app in our Application Store is.

Then we give you some insights into the latest Social Media trends from the Silicon Valley. And last but not least, we have some zanox updates for you, such as our future cooperation with the UK affiliate network Digital Window, our employee exchange programme and much more.

Enjoy watching and see you soon!
