Affiliate Marketing Tycoon

Hey Everyone,

Hopefully an easy set of questions! I'm currently working with a company that is looking to promote their product through an affiliate program. The issue is that the product's selling price is about $100K to start.

Would we be able to find a network that will do this?
Would we better off running a private label affiliate program?

Commissions are expected to start at around 2% so a single sale is 2K to the affiliate, I've personally never seen a program that pays out so much in a single sale although my experience is limited. So yeah, anyone have any experience in something like this?

Thanks,
JJ G

My god! Listen man, I'll work for you if you want! 2k a sale.
Unsurprisingly no one came up with a network for you!
Trust me I made a quarter million pounds of sales, roughly, in RETAIL sales - imagine how many sales. I'm sure I can find a way to sell for you, and rake it in. This is only around 3 months old. Are you still selling or have you gone bust with the city collapse?

You MUST set up your own affiliate programme - people do set up programmes "per site". there's lots, but none of them are likely to be as good as yours. What are you waiting for? And when you've made one, come here and post it. Woah. How could this one be missed? Or is there something I'm missing?

We actually are going that route, setting up our own affiliate program. Unfortunately it's taking awhile since we are custom coding everything, mostly due to the need to carefully track where everyone is coming from and whether or not a particular person went through with a sale.

The reason behind this is because after hitting the site people go through a contact form, we get them on the phone and more often then not they get a product demonstration, then they decide on whether or not to buy. Basically it's mostly an offline business and making sure the tracking is fair is a top priority.

Thankfully business has been pretty decent even with the economic downturn recently. Anyhow, we're still about and are currently looking to expand our sales so as soon as we get this affiliate program setup I'll send you a PM.

2k a sale?!?!??!?!?!!? start it right now im in!

I know thousands of people will join that, for 2k thats like rent money right there lol. Do it as soon as you can I know people will join

But on the other hand 100k for the product? if I read it right. It might be hard to find a buyer...but if the product is good I think it will work

Do you mind me asking what the product is?

We're selling LED screens, the huge screens, the type you'll see at concerts, sporting events, stadiums, billboards, really they are starting to go up all over the place.

I'd be game for selling some of those. Please definitely drop us a PM or put a post in the marketplace or whatever is the correct procedure.

at that kind of commission you may find its initially worth launching a private program, and then pushing it hard on the many forums which support areas for affiliate marketing.
