For a particular type of product, there are literally hundreds or even thousands of affiliates that are involved in promoting it actively. The result of having too many affiliates can present a challenging problem to each affiliate because Affiliate marketing, after all, is a competitive business. One problematic result could be that a customer has already heard of the product through promotions by another affiliate. Additionally, the customer in question may have already seen the ads and brochures for this product.
Since so many affiliates offer the same products, what can you do to be sure that your service stands out from the rest in order to best get the customer's attention? How do one affiliate differ from other affiliates? This is the challenge that many affiliates are currently facing, especially those who are new to the game.
One creative idea suggested by several affiliate marketing experts is the use of extra specials. An extra special is something valuable that the customer receives for purchasing the product from the merchant, via the affiliate's website. The affiliate website must make it clear to the customer that the extra special offer is not available from any other websites but only from them. This should tell him that he will lose the deal if he buys from another seller. If the visitor needs that additional special, it is likely he will stay in the affiliate's website and look around for a while.
Now that the affiliate has made the decision to offer the extra special, the next decision is which kind of extra special will attract customers. The answer to this actually depends on the customer type who buy the product. Which kind of product it is will be a huge clue to the personality of the individual customer.
The associated websites must be relevant to the audience that you are trying to attract: it is not evident that a site promoting tattoos, for example, will find many takers among aficionados of extreme sports notwithstanding that some of its adepts may have a tattoo.
If the affliate offers information on various rock climbing places in the county, the rock climber will be interested and click on the link to the merchant's website.
You can find additional specials, such as free consultations over phone or e-mail, e-books, or a link or newspaper advertisement. Each affiliate marketer should keep in mind that the extra special should be relevant to the main product for sale.
