Tip of the Day: Use Tags!

August 10, 2016 by Erica Grabijas

Using ShareASale’s tagging feature is perfect for keeping your affiliates organized and overall, making your life easier!  We cannot talk enough about the importance of using tags.

As affiliates join your program, it is important to tag them based on where you met, performance, promotional methods or violations. Give them one tag or several – it is completely up to you! Take a look at some examples of tags to get you started.

Think of it like categorizing your Affiliates. Wouldn’t it be easier to view data of a certain targeted clump of Affiliates versus having to sort through ALL of your Affiliates? Or sending out a newsletter to all of your Affiliates under a tag “Top Performers”? Or how about giving an exclusive offer or bonus to a small handful of your affiliates? Now you can! Tag them! You will thank yourself later!

Once you have segmented your Affiliates, there are numerous ways to use target those specific Affiliates using some of your favorite ShareASale tools.

Newsletters: Send Affiliates specific and individualized incentives or promotional methods.

Banners: Provide the various Affiliate types with banners that correlate with their different promotional methods.

Coupons: Activate the up-and-comers with exciting and unique coupons or motivate the top performers with personalized deals.

Commissions: Offer the new conference contacts or websites you feel best fit your program a special commission!

Bonuses: Provide varying campaigns to Affiliates based on performance, to motivate or reward, even to recruit new Affiliates.
