Opinions on Clix affiliate program improvements

GrownUpGoods · #1 30-09-2009, 03:59 PM

Hi Everyone,

GrownUpGoods adult shop has just revamped our affiliate program with clixGalore (program is listed under GrownUpGoods Adult Shop). We now are offering affiliates:

·Discount Coupon Codes
·Brand new banners
·VIP commissions up to 16%
·2Tier referral program of 5% commission on referral sales
·90 day cookie repeat commissions
·A product datafeed updated weekly

I was wondering what you think about the program. Is there anything we could do to make it more appealing to you? Do you believe the banners would make you sales? We would love the feedback of knowledgeable affiliates such as you.
We have also just sent out our first affiliate email newsletter. To those of you who receive similar emails, how useful do you find them? We would really value your input.

Also, if you like the program, please feel free to join us.

The program link is:- clixGalore Affiliate Marketing - Affiliate Program Search

Thanks and have a great day!

It makes perfect sense to me.

We do not publish Adult either but I had a look at your program, it is as impressive as your website. You have a fantastic banner set, buy your graphic artist a beer.

But it does not - the title is asking about improvements to THE clix Galore affiliate program. It should read Changes to Grownupgood's affiliate program.

I do promote adult sites, but not at 11-14% under current market rates.

Hi King,

I suppose it really comes down to semantics. But I will keep it in mind for any future posts.

May I ask what sites you do promote? And what level are their comission rates. I would really love your opinion on what you think is a fair rate. Also, would you take up banners/text that have lower comission rates but a very high conversion rates?

Thank you for all your feedback.

King · #9 02-10-2009, 08:06 AM

I'n not aware of any programs offering less than 25% and some even offer 30%. Yes of course it does come down to conversion rates in the end. What are yours like?

The one thing I would change is the need to register - I don't shop anywhere that requires me to create a password, and studies show this is a huge barrier to shopper completion.

Yesterday's statistics are: 14.55% CTR and $81.15 EPC. I would love to know how this conpares to other adult program you are signed to.

King · #11 02-10-2009, 08:57 AM

click through is one thing, but conversions would be interesting.

GrownUpGoods · #12 02-10-2009, 09:21 AM

6.5% conversion rate. However, yesterday was slightly slow being a Thursday.

King · #13 02-10-2009, 09:29 AM

pretty good

I also noticed that you have a 20% discount coupon paying 10% commission to the affiliate. Again, I am not familiar with the segment but I think the combined percentages would surely make you the category leader.

...and 6.5% conversion? Wow. Seriously, would you be willing to have a conversation about shopping carts? We are working hard to lift our conversion rates (on some sites that are not competitors of yours) and we would love to be able to even approach that figure.

GrownUpGoods · #15 02-10-2009, 12:08 PM

No problem. What would you like to know?

Although I don't think its so much shopping carts as overall website design, customer benefits propositions and product offering. All of which we continually optimise with a decidated marketing, product and cutsomer support teams.
