US homeownership at lowest level in a decade

[rcjordan]

Probably the same trend in EU, though home ownership percentages were likely lower.

I've been wondering if aff programs for decor and home-related items have lost ground as well. I can see that maintenance items might have actually gotten stronger but what about straight decor items? I'd think that they would have been hit really hard.

Sort of related, Ikea is doing really well.   They have a lot of relatively inexpensive furniture that works well with rental property or smaller units.

They have everything now. Kitchens, furniture, hell they are even building apartments.

aff program?

No dice. Not that I know of.

I bet they are like: "We're THE brand and don't need no sticking affs". I bet they are right.

Looks like there was one for a little while and it was closed:

One of the guys over there said that Ikea wasn't tracking properly.

A tone of lateral thinking affiliates made some good money on this type of offer.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/193905/ikea_gift_card_scam_takes_in_nearly_40000_facebook_users.html

The affiliate gets paid for an e-mail submit (in the order of $1.10-2.00) and the person who owns the offers gets other offers (lots of them) filled in before they part with the gift card.

So few of the cards ever get dished out.

Big brands hate these type of offers, because people think it is the brand running it, hence 5000 signups to the facebook page an hour.

Foreclosure offers/identity theft offers/check your credit score offers have all done well in this climate, as have train to be a driving instructor/train to be a web designer type of offers.
