Hi everyone,
I would appreciate your advice about price points from an adult affiliate point of view.
Would a discounted price point, available only to affiliates, be of interest to you?
Does it make a site easier to sell, or does it just reduce your commission?
We are open to any feedback about which offers work best for you and which types of trial convert the best.Thanks,
George
Not exactly sure what you mean. But here’s some feedback on what I prefer.
– a site that a promote and does well for me regularly does a $9.95 special … drives me nuts because I don’t need help selling it and the reduced price kills my revenue, so I usually don’t promote them a lot during these special periods
– I don’t like promoting revshare sites on $1 or any cheap trial, members don’t rebill like they used to and the $1 deal gets them but doesn’t get them rebilling as much (I think there’s a different mindset with people who buy trials over people who buy regular memberships)
– I have revshare sponsors that have cheap trials and I’ve asked them to turn them off, which is fairly easy in NATS I understand
– if a site has a cheap trial and pays PPS, I’ll promote them
– you’ll see those sponsor promos “Get 50% Off for the Weekend” or “50% Off all Black Friday Weekend” and I never seem to do well with those things, but a buddy of mine always seems to do well (these will get webmasters promoting you all over the place, but if they don’t perform they won’t be happy).
Well if you mean that your basic price point is say $30, and if the surfer buys from an affiliate link, they get a deal not available on the main site, perhaps it helps. Not sure I’ve seen many do that, if any, but the memory is a bit cloudy this morning, I haven’t had sufficient coffee to wake the brain up yet.
Though I like the idea of being able to offer a special price to my surfers, no one else does.
I’ve a lot of success with 50% discounts (50% off first month), they often seem to sell better than trial memberships. Plus you stand to earn more than on a trial.
But for discounts or trial membership to work you got to have a site that retains members. If memberships don’t rebill you’re better off sticking to full price memberships and get as much out of that single sale as you can.
Thanks for replying guys. It seems what works for one doesn’t for others, so I guess offering a range of options is the answer.
I was thinking about sites like rabbitsreviews & one or two others who have a list of discounted memberships only available through their site.
We were wondering whether to remove the $2.95 3-day trial & replace it with a 50% discount too – out of 200 trials about half converted, not sure how good or bad this ratio is…
