Leverage Your Sales Through Affiliate Programs
Copyright 2005 Michael Tansey
What could be better than exceeding your personal sales goals
for a given month or year? How about doubling, tripling or even,
your sales goal for the month? This is exactly what having a
team of affiliates can do for you. The amount of growth
potential through affiliates is unlimited; the more affiliates
you have the more money you can make, after all, if Sam Walton
tried to run every Wal-Mart store, he obviously wouldn't be very
successful. You must realize that to maximize growth you cannot
do it alone. Think of the success of companies such as Avon or
Home Interiors. Their success is based on two things; a great
product and excellent affiliate programs.
To attract affiliates to your company you should make it worth
their time. Offering one percent of sales, is not an attractive
offer, the higher the commission that you are able to offer your
affiliates the more affiliates will be enticed to join your
team. You should also provide your affiliates with the tools
that they will need to successfully market your product such as
banner ads, articles, and anything else that will help them to
better market the product. You should provide the affiliates
with updated product information through newsletters, new
promotional campaigns and other things to motivate and inform
the affiliates.
You can choose to run your affiliate program in a few different
ways, both of which are beneficial to your business. A one-tier
affiliate program allows you to generally offer a larger
commission and pays on one level. The affiliate will receive a
predetermined amount
for each sale. Using a two-tier affiliate
program, affiliates are paid on two different levels. This is
done by allowing the affiliates to recruit others to sell under
them. In this situation, the top level affiliate would receive a
slightly larger commission than the recruit or second level
affiliate. For example if the top level seller makes 20% of the
sale, then she/he would make 15% giving the second level
affiliate the 5%.
Setting up the affiliate program can also be done in two
different ways. One way is to do it yourself through an
affiliate tracking software. This software will provide you with
a way to track affiliate sales as well as allow the affiliates
to view their progress. The downside to this option is that you
are responsible for making payments. You can also choose to hire
an affiliate tracking company to do all the work for you. These
companies will allow the use of credit cards and completely run
the affiliate program from billing customers, paying affiliates,
and also pay you. This is a great option for the busy business
owner or the beginning business owner and it is affordable as
most affiliate tracking companies charge a small one time fee.
However you choose to run your affiliate program it is sure to
increase profits for your business.
