Asking for feedback: Earn $25 by simply sending us an order!

rhin0923 · 11-30-2009, 12:14 PM

Hey Warriors! I have been lurking here for 6 months or so and have learned a lot. I started with affiliate based sales and decided to turn my attention to drop shipping in the last month. so far $8459 in gross sales!

Only problem is that after advertising costs, (mostly PPC) I am left with a net of less than $1000. All-in-all I am not complaining as it can only get better from here.

Looking at alternative and creative ways to market my site.

I am hoping to get some expert feedback on an idea I had to help spread the site name by word of mouth / affiliate model.

You can see the offer I am running on my stores main page.
ExquisiteLinens.com

Let us pay you back for the Holidays!
Tell your friends and family about our store, when they buy, we will send you an instant payment of either $25 or $10. It’s that simple!

Details:
For a limited time earn $25 for referring someone who orders $100 or more from ExquisiteLinens.com and $10 on orders over $50 but less than $100.

Refferal payments will be paid by Exquisite Linens LLC by way of instant PayPal payment. It is the responsibility of the Payee to be able to accept PayPal payments. Sign up for a free PayPal account:

- There is no limit to the number of people an individual my refer.

- Payment will based on amount of order total not including shipping or sales tax.

- Orders above $50 but less than $100 will be paid ($10USD). Orders above $100USD will be paid ($25USD)

- The terms and length of this promotion are subject to change without notice.

- Any referred orders will be honored should the promotion be ended before payment has been made.

The numbers work well for me as I am currently paying more than 30% of gross sales to PPC advertisers anyway.

Any of you out there running a dropship ecommerce store that are willing to share some cost effective marketing campaigns?

maybe look at the PPC words you are using. There is tons of potential hidden within PPC, long tail keywords can be very profitable if scaled

Yes how much experience do you have with adwords. If you still have room to optimize, you can really ramp up your business pretty fast with PPC because there is a lot of traffic. By optimizing your quality score you can get more clicks and better yet, clicks will be cheaper. This is how you get the exponential growth effect when dealing with adwords.

If you have optimized your campaign and have plenty of keywords, then maybe look into a formal affiliate program.

Thank you both for your comments. PPC has been a break-even venture for me, but that is only because I am not very experienced with it as of yet. Thinking about hiring a PPC ad management company. Netmark.com
