Approach Product Owners for Special Deals, Promotions, and Bonuses
When you have been working as an affiliate marketer successfully for a time, don’t be afraid to talk to product creators about what you need and the things your audience will jump on. Many product owners and creators will be happy to create special deals, promotions, and bonuses for high-selling affiliates.
How You Ask Is Important
How you ask a product owner for special deals, promotions, or bonuses is important. Make sure they understand what’s in it for them and how hard you’re going to work. The first step is to contact the product owner in a way that you know they’ll see your message and respond to you. For some product creators, this is going to be via your back office or affiliate dashboard. For others this may be via email, and yet others, it may be best to set up an appointment with them to talk to them personally.
Do Your Research
How you approach them will depend on what you can find out by researching them online. Regardless of how you contact them and approach them about this, you’ll need to ensure that you give enough information about your audience and your business so that they know it’s not a waste of time to provide the added incentives to you and your audience.
Product creators often put a lot of time and effort (and expense) into creating the products so if they spend extra time helping you promote, while it will pay off for them, they’re going to want to assess your situation to see if it’s worth the time spent.
Don’t Be Dissuaded
Don’t be dissuaded if a product creator says no. Instead, especially if you respect the creator (and you should not be promoting products if you don’t like and respect the creator), you’ll want to promote harder and prove to them that you’re worth the added benefits that you asked for. You might have asked for them to appear on a webinar with you, or to offer an extra discount for your audience, and so forth. Prove to them your sales ability, and they’ll be knocking on your door the next time they launch something new.
Be Professional
Be professional about your approach and make sure you already have a plan in place so that they don’t have to do much extra work. Thank them for their awesome product that you want to promote. Explain what you like about it. Tell them why you want to promote it to your audience and why and how the bonus or special deal or benefit you want from them will help them make more sales to your audience. Show your excitement about everything to do with their awesome product so that they get excited about working more directly with you.
Finding ways to make your audience feel special by getting them discounts, bonuses, and more can be very helpful for them and you. Your fans will start seeing you as a special expert and come to you first before buying the same thing from someone else because you might have a discount or bonus or webinar to help them understand how to use the product better. Anything you can do to stand out will help.
