Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line
Using Product Recommendations To Increase Your Bottom Line
In affiliate marketing, there are many ways in which you can increase your
earnings and maintain the account that you have worked so hard for already. Most
of the techniques and tactics can be learned easily. No need to go anywhere and
any further. They are available online, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
One of the more important ways of increasing affiliate marketing bottom line and
sale is through the use of product recommendations. Many marketers know that
this is one of the most effective ways in promoting a certain product.
If the customers or visitors trust you enough, then they will definitely trust
your recommendations. Be very careful in using this approach, though. If you
start promoting everything by recommendation, your credibility will actually
wear thin. This is seen especially when recommendations are seemingly
exaggerated and without much merit.
Do not be afraid to mention things that you do not like about a given product or
service. Rather than lose any points for you, this will make your recommendation
more realistic and will tend to increase your credibility.
Furthermore, if your visitors are really interested in what you are offering,
they will be more than delighted to learn what is good about the product, what
is not so good, and how the product will benefit them.
When you are recommending a certain product, there are some things to remember
on how to make it work effectively and for your advantage.
Sound like the true and leading expert in your field.
Remember this simple equation: Price resistance diminishes in direct proportion
to trust. If your visitors feel and believe that you are an expert in your
niche, they are more inclined to making that purchase. On the other hand, if you
are not exuding any confidence and self-assurance in endorsing your products,
they will probably feel that same way and will go in search of another product
or service which is more believable.
How do you establish this aura of expertise? By offering unique and new
solutions they would not get anywhere else. Show proof that what you are
promoting works as promised. Display prominent testimonials and endorsements
from respected and known personalities, in related fields of course.
Avoid hype at all costs. It is better to sound low key and confident, than to
scream and seek attention. Besides, you would not want to sound unprofessional
and have that thinking stick to your potential customers and clients, now would
you? Best to appear cool and self-assured at the same time.
And remember; prospects are not stupid. They are actually turning to experts and
may already know the things that you know. If you back up your claims with hard
facts and data, they would gladly put down hundreds, or even thousands worth of
money to your promotions. But if you don’t, they are smart enough to try and
look at your competitors and what they are offering.
While recommending a product, it is also important that you give out promotional
freebies. People are already familiar with the concept of offering freebies to
promoting your won products. But very few people do this to promote affiliate
products. Try to offer freebies that can promote or even have some information
about your products or services.
Before you add recommendations to you product, it is given that you should try
and test the product and support. Do not run the risk of promoting junk products
and services. Just think how long it took you to build credibility and trust
among your visitors. All that will take to destroy it is one big mistake on your
part.
If possible, have recommendations of products that you have 100% confidence in.
Test the product support before you begin to ensure that the people you are
referring it to would not be left high and dry when a problem suddenly arouse.
Have a look at your affiliate market and look at the strategies you are using.
You may not be focusing on the recommendations that your products need to have.
You plan of action is sometimes not the only thing that is making your program
works.
Try product recommendation and be among those few who have proven its worth.
