How affiliates can subsidise all
their purchases using customer reciprocation
Copyright 2005 Michael Lever
Imagine if you had received a subsidy for every online purchase you've
ever made?
As an affiliate marketer, how would you like to earn sales commission
each time you purchase from any website?
How many commission payments have you put in someone else's pocket?
Did you know that anyone can now be subsidised in the form of a guaranteed
sale at their own or affiliated merchant site, whenever they purchase any
product, service, membership or program from any website?
If you did, then you would have heard of "customer reciprocation�, the
new buzzword taking root in the world of affiliate marketing and customer
acquisition.
It describes two of the newest services around namely affiliate directories
(not to be confused with affiliate program directories) and customer acquisition
exchanges. These are in effect an evolutionary improvement on link exchanges
in that they provide paying customers instead of potential traffic (leads,
click-throughs, or visitors).
From a merchant's perspective, imagine selling more of your own product
each time you purchase anything online. For merchants running an affiliate
program, you will make additional sales each time any of your affiliates
shop online.
However, the ultimate benefit customer reciprocation brings to merchants
is that their products become exponentially more appealing. This is because
a customer acquisition exchange will subsidise the cost of the purchase
to their customers with no loss of profit to the merchant.
If you are an affiliate marketer, imagine partnering with other affiliates
in a way that allows each of you to gain the commission for personally
referring each other. With "customer reciprocation", this happens automatically
each time you purchase anything online.
A customer acquisition exchange allows all affiliate and network (MLM)
marketers to leverage off each other's commission and downline potential.
It also allows merchant website owners to leverage off each other's profit
potential.
The beauty of customer reciprocation is that it can be exploited without
risk!
Merchants just need to list their sites for free while affiliate and
network marketers just enter their referral URLs for free.
I sincerely hope you consider making customer reciprocation work for
you.
