Positive Beginnings

Bone Fish would like to wish you a very happy new year and welcome you to 2009 - a year that we feel is going to be prosperous and very fruitful despite the economic doom and gloom.
Professionals in the industry predict that the recession will actually boost the online dating industry and the team at Bone Fish are not only in positive agreement, but are also almost certain that nearly all sites across the board will rocket to a great height over the next twelve months. But we suppose only time will tell...

If you`ve stepped into January with a heavy heart, you`ll be overjoyed to hear that even though Christmas has only just turned the corner, December`s commissions and bonuses have already been paid and as such, that ever-enlarging hole in your festive pocket should start to heal very shortly.

Remember, if at any time you wish to change the way in which you receive your commissions or if you wish to speed payments up, you can drop us a line (as always) at: affiliates@bone-fish.com.

What else? This month Bone Fish was over the moon with a number of affiliates for their efforts. Nearly all smashed their bonus targets in the "100% Scheme", and some - such as Paul S and Peter F - absolutely hammered their December goals without barely lifting a finger. Well done!!!

And this is not the only piece of good news that`s come to light lately. Here at Bone Fish we couldn`t believe our eyes when we watched in absolute amazement at how the Christmas and New Year period brought in a giant wave of new applications. Not only that, but an incredible amount of existing affiliates took the opportunity to set up even more sites via the Bone Fish service, affirming that our brand is indeed more trusted than ever before.

Of course, this influx of interest in the affiliate programme does mean that we do have a slight backlog of work, but we would like to reassure you that we`re ploughing through it as quickly as possible and will hopefully be back on track by the end of next week.

And so with a proud tear in our eye we say goodbye for this week and encourage all affiliates to keep up the effort and high standard that they maintained in 2008 so that 2009 can be their best year yet.


Until next week...



The Bone Fish Affiliate Department



New Recurring Payment System

Bone Fish would like to inform you that it now processes all recurring transactions in-house. Since December 10th, all rebills have been completely controlled by the new BF platform to ensure more control over refunds, rebill attempts and also times/dates of processing (particularly for payments made over the weekends and during holiday times).

In effect, this new system means that rebills can be processed on a daily basis and in a much more efficient manner. What`s more, taking a look at the past month we can already see a 40% increase - and we`re pretty sure that this percentage will increase even further.

Nevertheless, please be informed that when looking at the commission/rebill page in the admin centre, at present daily rebills for those that make a large number of sales will look different to normal. This is nothing to worry about as it is merely an indication that rebill figures are not as consistent as they were due to now being processed on a daily basis.
