The stand is designed to be more than just a place to visit — it’s a lively lounge where you can grab a drink, chat with the team, and explore real ways to scale your affiliate profits against the backdrop of a bus stop-style design.
N1 Puzzle Promo: Your road to the helicopter prize
N1 Partners is tying the Wealth Bus theme into its N1 PUZZLE Promo — the campaign that’s literally driving our partners toward a brand-new Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.
Here’s how it works:
- 1 puzzle piece for every 10 FTDs from SEO traffic
- 1 puzzle piece for every 40 FTDs from PPC and ASO
- 1 puzzle piece for every 100 FTDs from FB and other channels (social media, SMS, Email, UAC, In-App)
The more puzzle pieces you collect, the closer you get to taking home the helicopter. And since London is one of the key stops on this journey, N1 Partners will showcase exactly how affiliate traffic can help drive progress toward the prize.
Of course, it’s not just about the final prize. N1 Partners is already running two mini-lotteries (April–July and Sept–Nov) packed with luxury prizes — and everyone wins something. Whether you’re driving PPC, SEO, or social traffic, you can turn volume and speed into puzzle pieces and prizes.
What’s on board at Booth J50
The stand will offer plenty of engaging activities for visitors:
- Bar — visitors can grab a drink and connect with the N1 Partners team.
- Puzzle Collection merch drop — every item gives you +1 puzzle piece in the promo. Plus, each merch owner enters a special giveaway: a custom hoodie, an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a branded case.
- Plinko-style game — everyone wins! Grab a guaranteed prize right at the booth.
- Meet the N1 Partners team — the team will be on hand to answer questions and show how to boost your current promo results and earnings.
