How this all affects you
• You’re promoting Sky and we want you to understand the brand.
• It is important that the brand is presented in the correct way to ensure credibility of your site.
• The smoother the journey between your site and the Sky site, the more likely a customer is to purchase resulting in more commission for you.
• The more you know about the brand, the more content you can add to your site, encouraging customers to convert.

Creative & Copy
• The system is regularly updated by the affilinet team – all banners and logos are current.
• Please contact [email protected] for instructions on pulling banners from our system.
• Choose banners that are relevant to your site – we have both TV and broadband banners in the system with current campaigns.

Creative
• The Sky logo needs to be presented properly – please do not stretch it, distort it, place it over any form of background or use out of date logos. It also must be straight and horizontal.
• Pulling a logo from the affilinet system is the best way to ensure it is current.
• Do not hardcode banners as it will prevent them from automatically updating when the campaign changes.
Out-of-date stretched logo
Hardcoded banner is now out of date

Copy guidelines
• Please ensure copy is regularly updated, when Sky offers change, your site needs to change!
• Offer end date must be communicated and expired offers need to be clearly marked.
• Please remember:– Sky+HD has no spaces in– Sky Broadband Unlimited is a brand name and must be capitalised– Ensure pricing is correct – if in doubt see http://www.sky.com/shop/ – See http://www.sky.com/shop/why-choose-sky/ for accurate information on Sky’s key selling
points.

need to be updated quickly. It is extremely important that Sky’s offers are presented accurately and are current – we need affiliates to be engaging and willing to update sites quickly.
• We send out a newsletter to all affiliates as soon as offers are confirmed (normally on a Thursday) – please ensure the email address you have listed is correct.
• The newsletter will list the new offer, which offers are ending and a reminder of the lead offers you should push on your site.
• Site audits begin as soon as the offer changes – please see the timeline for these on the following slide.
