It is really hard to decide what to buy for affiliates for the holidays. Chocolates, wine, popcorn, nuts, cookies? What do you guys want to Christmas?
Thanks,
Mark

I like anything from harry and david:)all of what you mentioned except the wine. Do you send to all the affilates or only the ones who make a certain amount of sales?Quote:

So long as im being paid on time, what im supposed to be getting paid, thats all im bothered about, anything else, no matter how small is a nice bonus.

I guess whatever sponsors do do, you have to be careful.
Not everyone celebrated christmas.
However im the same as Lee. Long as im getting paid i dont expect anything. I believe christmas gifts should be a 2 way thing anyway. Isnt it called "Exchanging Of Gifts" ?
a card that says "happy holidays" with a personal sig is always nice to receive :)
Thanks for the input. Yes I could only do it for a certain amount of affiliates but we would try to send a gift to as many affiliates as possible.Quote:

The classiest Christmas gifts I received came from Maleflixxx, who sent a little Godiva Chocolate assortment. I've always thought popcorn was a weird gift... popcorn? Now, on this subject --- first to qualify, I've promoted DirtyBoyVideo for several years. They do well for me as a suggestive sell, and I'm friends with Andy.
BUT --- they sent this nastiest meat log thing last time. *bleh!*
In a tit for tat, I'm considering sending them a Pecan Street Bakery fruitcake. (although theirs aren't bad, especially with coffee)
Stuff from OmahaSteaks is always nice... and getting a frozen package in the mail always creates an impression. Amazon.com has a Gourmet Food store, you might look there for some ideas too.
Just no nasty meat logs! :P
But to answer your specific question, I think gifts are very nice, and I appreciate the thought whenever receiving them.

I want JJ from your site, wrapped up in nothing but a red ribbon...
Failing that, I appreciate the thought, but really, I just enjoy working with you guys and thanks for the considerate thoughts. And I agree, if anything, make it a holidays card/gift, because some of us don't actually celebrate Christmas (Hannuka here, for example :)).
I did actually think about sending out cards to sponsors, believe it or not, but figured I might get Steve's proverbial fruitcake in return lol, I doubt that any of the sponsors or even the reps I work with actually know me by name.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.
Desslock I got one of those logs too, I was quite funny.
Tigermom I wish I could send you JJ but he has decided he is getting married and no more porn for him. :(

What about Taz? I am sooooooooo in love with him. Such a hot bod...
I wouldnt expect anything. I think your opening a can of worms to be honest. If people started posting that theyd got this or that and you hadnt got anything, wouldnt you be a bit pissed off? Allthough you wouldnt expect anything, if others did and you didnt, you might feel unapreciated? Its abit like saying thankyou to others for all their hard work, but not thanks to you for your hard work (if that makes sense).
sending meat isn't going to do much for any vegetarians who promote your program. chocolate or a gift basket is always a safter bet.
Yeah we got Taz back to do some shoots. He has been our most popular model.Quote:

Bonus days are always a good thing. ;)
Yeah i loved the bonus days - they were great!
A card is more than enough, however if nothing is sent I do not get offended.
I find the typical gifts (a basket of whatever) to be unfair or not thought out (more than one person in the office, so how exactly does one split a one-cup bag of hot chocolate).
The best and most thoughtful gift sent to us, to date, was sent from the fabulous crew @ It's Your Porn. They sent us a gift card/voucher for Amazon (DOT .CA, not .com --- the fact th@ is was to the .ca site shows that they did think things through).
With that, I would now like to ask: what gifts have you sent your various sponsors for putting up with all the demands and such?
Yah yah, I know :crazy: :gossip: :crazy:
