Selling To Your Affiliates
(Page 1 of 3 )
While success with any Internet marketing program falls on the head of the marketer, what the program offers in pay outs and products plays a big roll.What I am going to focus on is the product side of the business. The products that you sell make the difference on who is going to buy them. Either you sell to people outside your own affiliate base. You sell to people within your base. Or you try and sell to both. I believe most marketers try and sell only outside their own affiliate base. If you do this then you are missing out on your greatest customer. Your own affiliates.
Most the effort you put into marketing your products should be focused on your affiliates. Why? Because unless you have a big online store or are a recognized company, trying to sell outside your affiliate base is equal to Wal-Mart trying to sell to K-Mart and visa versa. Normally the people you are trying to sell to are at the same time trying to sell you something in return. So it makes more sense to focus on your own customers. Now I'm not saying to not sell outside your own base but don't neglect the customer who is standing right in front of you. They are already in your store but have not been convinced to buy anything. And they have not been convinced to buy anything because no sales clerk has approached them. And when one did approach them they were met by someone who themselves don't use the products.
So before you can successfully sell to your customers you must approve the products yourself. How can you tell me a weight loss product works great if you haven't even tried it yourself? Remember hair club for men?
