Vetionx Affiliate News: Fleas, Ticks & Coupons
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009A special welcome to all new Vetionx affiliates. Congratulations to those who received a bonus for the month of May and thanks to all affiliates who are sending visitors our way. Remember you reach bonus status when you hit $500 in commissions for a given month.
Flea and tick season is well underway. Did you know Vetionx has a pet shampoo formulated specifically to combat fleas, ticks, lice and mange? It’s called Defendex. If you’re looking to run a special promotion consider tying in Defendex with our new coupon code and your flea or tick content.
Speaking of our new coupon code, here’s the scoop: We now offer an “affiliate-only” coupon code that can be used on all products and all sales. The “affiliate-only” coupon code will only be offered through the Vetionx Affiliate Program. Use the code as a way to increase your click-through rate and sales. Keep in mind the coupon code can be combined with our standard deals for even more savings: Buy 2 Get 1 Free, Buy 3 Get 2 Free plus free shipping, and Buy 5 Get 4 Free.
Standard text links that include the “affiliate-only” coupon code are currently available for each product. When getting Vetionx links through ShareASale, choose the “Coupon Code” category to view the new text links. The coupon is also available via the ShareASale coupons/deals database. Several new coupon banners are in the process of being designed for this promotion. I will notify all affiliates when the new creatives are uploaded to ShareASale. There is no expiration date set for this offer.
Phone tracking is here! Vetionx affiliates can now receive credit for orders received through our Call Center. Our phone tracking works like this: When a visitor on your site clicks an affiliate link to our site, there will be a reference number posted near the bottom of our sales pages. The number is 1xxxxxx with the x’s being your affiliate ID. Go ahead and try it on your computer and you’ll see the reference number.
Our Call Center is trained to ask for that reference number. If the customer doesn’t have a reference number the Call Center then asks the customer how they found our site. I manually enter the affiliate phone orders based on reference numbers and website referrals.
Based on prior experience I expect to see more website referrals than reference numbers. Posting our Call Center phone number on your site is a marketing technique that can work well. Many people call in to ask a quick question before deciding to order and our Call Center does an excellent job of closing sales.
If you decide to post our Call Center phone number on your site please send me a quick message so I can give our Call Center a heads up that people may be calling in from your website or blog. I also highly recommend posting underneath our phone number something like this:
USA Orders Call: 866-977-0888
International: 616-977-8500
Mention ABC Company and Coupon Code zzzz to Save 10% on Your Order
or
USA Orders Call: 866-977-0888
International: 616-977-8500
Mention Ref No. xxxxxx and Coupon Code zzzz to Save 10% on Your Order
Replace ABC Company or xxxxxx with your website name or ShareASale affiliate ID. Replace zzzz with the “affiliate-only” coupon code. Bold or highlight your website name or affiliate ID along with the coupon code. Any questions or thoughts on the Call Center option feel free to email or call. We are active in our search for additional affiliate phone order solutions that will benefit both affiliates and our company alike.
In other news:
PopShops.com and DataFeedFile.com users stay tuned because I’m working on getting Vetionx set up with those services. Of course our datafeed and product database are also available through the ShareASale interface.
Just a reminder that a video, direct to shopping cart, and direct to buying option links are also available to all affiliates. Send me a quick message if you need help locating any of those.
Lastly, if you would like somebody to look over your promotional material feel free to email or give me a call. I’d be more than happy to look over your website and give you some new ideas for promoting Vetionx products. I can give you insight into the top selling products along with the marketing techniques that convert the greatest number of sales.
Have a great month and I’ll be in touch when the new coupon code banners are ready.
Wishing you success,
