Which is best … advertising individual TripleClicks products or the entire TripleClicks store?
The obvious answer is – why would you want to limit yourself to only doing one or the other?
So the real question is – when is it best to advertise the entire store and when is it best to advertise just a single product?
To answer this question let’s look at what SFI has to say about it?
First SFI gives each of us our own Leadership Manager website – see
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/LeadershipManager
You will find the link to this on your SFI Homepage – it’s the “LP” on the small green tab just to the left of your photo at the very top of your SFI Homepage. (Personally, I think this tab is MUCH too small and would suggest SFI enlarge it to make it easier to access.)
Do you use your Leadership Page? You should – it’s FREE!!!
(I guess LP stands for Leadership Page, but when you click on it you come to your Leadership Manager website. Again I wonder why SFI has two different names for the same thing?}
Your “LP” is a HUGE resource that you can use. It contains six webpages that you can use to advertise your SFI business.
Specific to this question is the TAB headed “I RECOMMEND”.
SFI encourages us to list up to nine products and services here that we wish to recommend to our downline (including our prospective downline). It is made up of two sections: -
1. We can list up to four SFI Services that we really like. I have listed S-Builder, Standing Order, WAVE3 and the FORUM as my four SFI Services because I use each of these services every month.
2. And we can also list up to five SFI/TC products that we really like. I have listed my own product from my own ECA store. I only have one product in my ECA store at present.
(I have yet to list any other products here. I want to but I also want them to be products that I have personally purchased. That has given me a problem because both the products I have purchased so far are no longer available at TripleClicks. One was a special. The other was from an ECA who is no longer registered. So in each case the product number is no longer available to promote. But let me just say here that I had excellent service from both ECAs and I was very happy with the products, price and delivery.)
And we are not limited to just nine items. Through TripleClicks we can advertise any of the currently 89,809 products and services listed.
Just select your product, click on the SFI AFFILIATES TAB and copy the item URL that is listed there.
For example, here’s one for a Samsung SGH-S500 cell phone.
http://www.tripleclicks.com/13117724/detail.php?item=347129
(I have chosen this example because I know some affiliates do not have smartphones. So here is one that you could save up for and buy from TC. The cost is $43.00. And please note, this ECA is in Croatia. Isn’t that wonderful – an ECA could be from anywhere in the worldl!)
Note that this example has my SFI ID embedded in the URL but if you were to choose to promote this product it would be your SFI ID that would appear in the URL. And hence you will receive the commission.
So SFI certainly encourages us and makes it easy for us to advertise any single product or service available at TripleClicks.
And it is a very good idea to promote just a single product. This allows you to be very specific in choosing your target market. For example you could promote a specific item to a prospective customer who you know is looking to buy a similar product. Perhaps their favourite perfume, for example.
So promoting a single product is very desirable, and I would suggest it is one of the best ways to “spark” someone’s interest in TripleClicks and SFI.
BUT SFI also encourages us to promote ALL of an ECA’s listings. To do so just select the ECA you wish to promote. Click on one of their products. Go to the SFI AFFILIATE TAB for that product and click on the following link that appears: -
"• To promote ALL of this ECA's listings, refer customers to:
http://dollarwise.tripleclicks.com/13117724"
For this example I have chosen the most active ECA in New Zealand – Maree Designs.
(Although I haven’t bought anything from this ECA yet – I do intend to, I just don’t have any surplus disposable income at the moment - I am very happy to promote this store because it is from New Zealand, my home country.)
And that brings me to perhaps what I consider the most important reason to promote an ECA. By doing so you are growing the worldwide base of TripleClicks. I would encourage you to do this particularly in your own region and country because the stronger TC is in your area the easier it will be to sell TC's products and services.
In fact I consider ECA as one of the best programs SFI offers us and I also consider that it has HUGE potential to develop SFI and TC in our area, region and country. The more ECAs we promote the easier it will be to promote another one and the more local people will buy from TC. Guess who wins then? Yes, you do! In fact as the total Executive Pool ? grows ALL affiliates benefit!!!
So please do both - but do it intelligently. Let’s get SFI and TC a “good” name in our region.
God bless you.
