Your Affiliate Team is a "one-stop-shop" for
Internet Marketers interested in outsourcing all or part of their affiliate activities. Your Affiliate Team helps your company increase revenue
by establishing affiliates for you. Affiliates refer others to your products and services
in return for a commission from you. These sales are usually incremental to your
business -- you wouldn't otherwise have made these sales. We work with you to develop and implement
an affiliate program that meets your revenue objectives. Once established, we
manage these affiliate relationships on a continuous basis so that you can
concentrate on your core business.
Internet Marketers face three key challenges when
developing sales and marketing strategies: intensifying competition, rising
personnel management costs, and the rapid pace of innovation (resulting in
shorter
product life cycles). As a result, achieving adequate sales coverage and short-term revenues are becoming increasingly difficult.
In short, internet marketers have two concerns
when it comes to affiliate management...
- No time
- Limited expertise
In an attempt to address these conditions, many internet marketers are increasingly turning to
outside affiliate managers as a viable supplement to managing this in-house. Outsourcing
reduces or eliminates the need for expensive personnel and allows you to begin building an
affiliate
organization immediately. The right affiliate management provider can be an invaluable member of your
marketing team.
At Your Affiliate Team, we work with targeted third party organizations
to identify, research, qualify, profile, recruit, train, and motivate
affiliates. This leads to incremental sales for you, our client. In
short, we ensure that your affiliates are focused on driving revenue for
you.
There is little doubt your company could
implement an affiliate program. You probably already have one. In fact hundreds of thousands of internet
marketers have done just that. But if establishing and managing an affiliate organization isn't your specialty, why
should you?
Besides, what internet marketer has the time? Why not work with a
specialist to handle affiliate management so that you can concentrate on your core
competencies such as developing new information products and providing excellent
customer support.? In today’s tough market
environment, hiring a professional whose sole focus is to help you grow
your revenues more efficiently is a cost-effective and prudent investment.
Although many technology companies have
affiliate programs in place, most
are not of sufficient scale to address the diverse opportunities that affiliates can offer. This is why it is so important to assess the scalability of your internal resources.
Finally, the sheer number and complexity of
affiliates is staggering. Literally millions of people are entering the internet
marketing arena and signing up for affiliate programs right and left. Coordinating the activities of these
affiliates has already
created a real management problem for the internet marketer. Your Affiliate Team
eliminates the hassle by taking over the day-to-day responsibility of managing
your affiliate program AND your affiliate relationships.
For companies who already have an affiliate
program, our focus is to first deliver additional value through the development of
a program that captures the attention of your best performing affiliates.
The first step is to examine and assess your
current affiliate program if you have one.
The goal is to better understand your objectives and
identify how an affiliate program would help you meet your goals.
From this assessment, we will build a program
that will assist your affiliates in understanding your company, target markets, products & services,
and above all that they are motivated to actively participate in your
affiliate program.
