OUR APPROACH
The AP team focused on business owners signing up for one of the client’s free services, which included free hardware (that gave customers access to the free services), generated client revenue based on usage, and created cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.
They developed an attractive $20 to $40 cost-per-acquisition (CPA) commission structure that paid affiliates on specific outcomes including initial sign-up, additional hardware or software purchase at registration, and active-seller rate (use product after purchase). They also leveraged AP’s extensive CRM database to research top-tier B2B-focused affiliates who would be a good fit for the service provider’s brand.
These targeted affiliates received a newsletter campaign educating them on the client brand, products and services, and the value to the affiliates’ readers.
