I just want to bring some attention to all the powerful tools we have available in the Mountain Reservations Affiliate Program. As far as I've seen there's no other vacation rental affiliate programs that can match us Below I've included just a few of the affiliate tools we have available for our partners:

1. Booking Widget - This tool is available under "HTML Links" in AvantLink. With just a few lines of code you can add a booking widget that includes a drop down list of every location that's currently available on Mountain Reservations. In addition, a calendar so folks can easily check availability in a specific location.
   
   
2. Phone Tracking System - This service is completely unique to the Mountain Reservations program. Every partner that's active (sending traffic) to our site is assigned a unique phone number that populates on the landing page. If at any moment that customer needs to speak with our agents they can call. Your AVAD (Avantlink's tracking parameter) and website are attached to the number and will dynamically populate in our booking system.
   
   
3. Deal Of The Week - I mentioned this in a previous post, so I'll make this brief. Our prefered partners (property management companies) offer special deals to Mountain Reservations not found anywhere else. In turn we're able to extend these offers via the affiliate channel. Each week we have a new outstanding deal.
   
   
4. HTML Lead Form - Coming soon... If you're familiar with the travel industry, everything comes from leads (essentially online inquiries). We're creating an HTML template that that you can plug in directly on your site.
   
   
5. Datafeed Enhancements - Coming soon... We already have a very clean feed are in the process of making it the best in the industry.

AvantLink Tools Worth Checking Out Include:

• Wordpress Plugin
• Dynamic Coupon Feed
• Product Ad Widget

If you've got a travel, ski/snowboard or outdoor focused website check out our affiliate program.

Datafeed Enhancements - Coming soon... We already have a very clean feed and are in the process of making it the best in the industry.

To follow up, we've pushed these datafeed enhancements live. We now include amenities, latitude and longitude coordinates for each property, additional images, sleeps number, state and resort.

The additional data seems to be working, we're seeing more leads and booking. If fact we had a $6,000 booking through the affiliate program last week.

I'd love to help new and existing partners get dialed in for the 2011-2012 ski season (contact info is below).
