Affiliate Program: Hi, I had a few questions about using the Mallcom Module.
Affiliate Manager: Sure, go right ahead.
Affiliate Program: How the heck does this whole thing work? I’m a bit confused on the whole setup.
Affiliate Manager: Not a problem at all. More then happy to explain it to you. Do you already got NATS setup with the Mallcom module?
Affiliate Program: Yup, really easy.
Affiliate Manager: Cool. You’re more then half way done already. So what happens now is this. We would sign you up with an account as well as a co-branded store with us. For example check out http://moviemonsterstore.com or http://teamtushystore.com. You would end up with something similar with your own co-brand. Once that is done, you could have your affiliates push your co-branded store on their sites with their own unique tracking code. Now we would be offering you, the affiliate program, XX% commission. You can in turn offer your affiliates their own specified commission rate. So for example you could offer 10%, 20%, or whatever else rate you would like to set up. So in effect, you have hundreds or thousands of affiliates pushing your store for you.
Affiliate Program: So wait, would they also be signing up through you then?
Affiliate Manager: Uh no, they would sign up through your affiliate program. Pretty much as far as they are concerned they signed up through your affiliate program.
Affiliate Program: Ok, that’s cool. But wait, am I going to have to give you access to our affiliates information?
Affiliate Manager: Not at all. It is a secure backend which you can log into and access all of your information as well as the information for all your affiliates that push your co-branded store on their sites.
Affiliate Program: Nice, I like that. And what about payout? Are you going to send out a big fat check to me as well as to our affiliates?
Affiliate Manager: Well we’d be sending you one big check with a total amount of all sales made for your account. You would then be responsible for redistributing the appropriate amount to all of your affiliates.
Affiliate Program: That makes sense. Well it all sounds great to me. Let’s do this!
Affiliate Manager: Cool. |
