The Sofa Network??

Entered a comp with them months ago and now they're running another comp, although their website STILL hasn't launched yet?

They accidentally sent out an email about the new comp from the domain @affiliatesquared.com rather than the usual @sofa-network.com and then sent an email from the usual email address

"** Apologies ***
The previous email came 'from' one of our other members in our team, a slight glitch in our marketing software! Apologies for any confusion, see below for the original email!
Thanks,"

I've checked out the affiliatesquared website and it's all about marketing and affiliates, with "the sofa network" branded on all the pages so I suspect they're linked.

Think one of their comps was for 5 iPads and this one is for an Apple TV.. they send out an awful lot of emails for a company that hasn't even launched yet, is it just marketing spam or am I just being a bit too distrusting? Thoughts anyone?

    The sofa network is just affilate marketing but they get individuals to promote products and if anyone buys from your links you get some commission - by using lots of individuals to promote directly to their friends they hope to do better than just using passive sites/ads

    Coincidence just had an invite on FB for them (won't be joining) but noticed they have announced winners for the iPad minis and a Kindle Fire HD6.

    (That is quite a lot for a page with only 857 likes)
  • I got that but I hadn't really looked at the first.
