2. Discount code / voucher code websites
As standard all voucher code use needs to comply with the official IAB guidelines which can be found here:
http://www.iabuk.net/resources/standards-and-guidelines/online-voucher-codes
a. Publishers may only use discount codes which have been supplied to them by Awin on behalf of Bshirt. Please apply to Awin to obtain authorised codes for the Bshirt programme.
b. Publishers must not display made up / invented discount codes on their site(s) or display discount codes that were intended for use in other channels or for other online publishers.
c. Under no circumstances are publishers allowed to surreptitiously use i-frames to set Awin cookies onto a user’s computer.
d. Discount code publishers with websites that encourage users to “click here to reveal offer / code” thus setting an Awin cookie can only use this function if a voucher code exists for the Bshirt programme. If there is no voucher code available for the Bshirt programme publishers must not use this method, as it leads to a poor user experience for potential Boohoo customers and can cause customer service issues.
e. If a discount code has been issued to publishers and it has an expiry date the publisher must clearly display on its website(s) the expiry date of this discount so that the user can decide whether they want to go ahead and click the publisher’s link.
f. If publishers wish to maintain expired discount codes on their sites for search engine optimisation reasons, they must display clear notification to the user that the discount has expired. This notification must be located right next to the expired discount code. The font size must be no smaller than the site(s) body text and the colour used must contrast clearly with the background It is not acceptable for the notification to be displayed a significant distance from the expired code.
4. Email Marketing
a. All email marketing must be signed off by Bshirt and the account management team.
5. Linking
a. Publishers are allowed to deeplink to a chosen offer or category on the Bshirt site.
