What is the RM Affiliate Programme?
The RM Affiliate Programme allows you to use your University website to make money. All you have to do is put a text link or banner advert on your site to the basement and for subsequent sales that are attributed to you we will pay you commission! This is subject to a minimum of £1000 of gross sales being attributed to you by your students during the academic year.
Why should I get involved?
- The Basement is the place to take advantage of great student prices
- We offer free shipping across the site
- We provide you with all the necessary links and banners to put on your website
- Your payouts are all done automatically
- Once you have put the banners / text links on your website that's it! You can sit back and relax and we take care of the rest
How much could I earn?
5% of all gross sales attributed to your establishment
How and when will I be paid?
We run our report once a month and any commission you have earnt will be added to your RM account as credit. If you would like the credit to be turned into cash then please contact us for this to be arranged.
How do I join?
Just choose the activity you wish to participate in from the descriptions below and follow the instructions.
Posters and Fliers
We have created a promotional poster an flier for you to place around your university to help raise student awareness of the site. To download these, just click the image.
Text Links
For the text link we just ask you to have a short blurb on your website that describes the basement and then hyperlinks to our site.
We will need to provide you with the hyperlink to make sure that we can see the customers have come from your site. So please just email us at
thebasement@rm.com with your University name and Customer ID if you know it and we will get right back to you with you link.
Banner Ads
We provide 3 sizes of banner ads that you can put on your site. We have found that the banner ads are the most successful for driving students to the basement.
The code we use also means that we can update the content of the banner to make sure it stays looking fresh on your site.
If you would like to go for this option simply email the banner size you want to thebasement@rm.com along with your University name and Customer ID if you know it. We will then zip you your banner code and implementation guide straight back.
If you do not contact us about our Affiliate Programme your default rebate level is 1%.
