Good question. Maintaining an active affiliate base is the key to the success of your SFI program. When the affiliates are inactive, I think the problem lies in communication. So here is a few of my tips.
First, have a good "welcome letter". When your affiliates sign up, give them some pertinent information, like what they can expect from you and a little more about how SFI and your team works. This, I think, will make them feel really involved right from the start.
Second, send a sincere "thank you" email/E-card/T-mail. Once again, offer some more information about the SFI program. Tell them little more about new SFI news or announcements, inform them a little more about the ECA products, or techniques for promoting SFI(like how to place classified ads or banners for blogs or website). Always close any communication with your affiliates by letting them know that they can always contact you with questions or concerns.
Third, Keep on top of sales alerts. Try to set up a regular schedule for informing affiliates of their sales. Frequent alerts will keep people much more interested than a monthly mass mailing.
Fourth, keep in contact. Send out emails with updates about SFI, your team and marketing tips. This will keep people excited about the potential of the SFI program.
These tips may seem a little time consuming, but they are worth it! Wish these tips helpful !
