Roving Reporter Shane onto Toys “R” Us UK

Roving reporter Shane, has been hot peddling it on his papparazzi moped, hot on the heels of the merchants across networks who have been reducing their commissions on Wii’s or not offering any at all.

However, as charismatic Kieron fairly pointed out in his blog, Toys-weRe-Us have gone one step further and reduced commissions on all consoles to a whooping 0%. Shane, our knight in shining armour, now known as The Hoff, quickly scooted down to Toys R Us at the Local Retail Park, only to be greeted by Geoffrey the Giraffe (who we thought was made redundant) to be handing out flyers to potential customers walking by … like the one you can see below.

There always seem to be some merchants acting as prize turkeys leading up to Christmas, will they ever change for better, of course they will….. Ouch my ears are bleeding .. There goes the distinct “oinkey” sonic boom of a pig flying past my window (courtesy of Kirsty).

Note: Please also read the disclaimer at the foot of the flyer, as one of the things our roving reporter Shane managed to pick up. And expect to receive some junk mail in your letter box very soon.

    Lol, it’s always nice to get a credit for one’s more inspired quotes.

    What are some merchants on? Why is it so hard to simply treat affiliates with a bit of respect and fairness. I’d sacrifice the former for the latter if only one was on offer!

    I think Waitrose Entertaining re-launching on Tradedoubler maybe slightly higher above as part of the shortlist. Along with O2 and their commission levels on iPhones, and possibly Mr Grubby from ASOS.

    […] such affiliates too. Oh, and whilst I’m asking I’d like networks to make sure merchants play by the rules too – not chop/change commision at a whim, not close programs without sufficient notice, not offer […]
