Maximuscle Affiliate Blog

I received a very welcome email from Matthew Wood, the MD of Affiliates4U - we had been shortlisted for Best Advertiser Incentive in their upcoming A4U Awards!

We see affiliate incentives as a major component of our relationships with our partner affiliates and like to theme them around our sport and fitness partnerships.

Last summer we offered one lucky affiliate the chance of winning an all expenses (and there were a lot of expenses!) trip to South Africa to watch the British and Irish Lions play in Durban and the team here were delighted to find out we made the final three.

The other nominations Buyagift and Red Letter Days so we are joined with two very experienced merchants in the affiliate sector.

The awards dinner is at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane on 9th June 2010 and looks like it will be a really good night. If you would like to join us on the night, book a table now.

Maximuscle partners Fulham FC are coming to one of their most exciting periods of time in their recent history. The Maximuscle-fuelled side fought back amazingly with Juventus in the Europa Cup and follow this by their FA Cup 6th round Quarter Final replay against Tottenham.

• Go behind the scenes & see Fulham stars train on April 15th
