Recommend/Suggest Alternative Products
Author: glend
Shoppers have a tendency to research and shop around for the best deals. Don’t fight this compulsion, embrace it. Instead of ramming it down the visitors throat that Product A is the best and they must buy it, why not say - “Here’s Product A, but here’s links to Product B, Product C and Product D too so you can decide what’s best for you.”
Open these links in new windows too so people don’t lose track of your website and start again using someone else’s.
It doesn’t matter what one they buy because you get commission on all of them. The merchants care because it’s their products you’re selling, but you as the affiliate shouldn’t care as you’re just after a commission on any sale.
Here’s another idea to gain friends around the world, Merchant A may not ship to the UK and Europe, but Merchant B and Merchant D do. Offer this as an alternative option for foreign visitors.
Allow your visitors to do all their research on YOUR webpages and not go back to the search engines and to find other online stores. ‘Be the customer’ and pretend you’re looking to buy Product XX and then do research online to buy it. All the online stores you come across that sell Product XX AND have an affiliate program - Join them, then list them on your web page.
