How Advertisers Use Partners’ Promos To Promote Products

Partners often promote products based on what their followers enjoy seeing. It’s not something we can force but we can work with it.

Getting Partners in trending categories to promote your products will:

  • Reach a bigger audience
  • Build brand trust
  • Increase site traffic
  • Drive sales

Read on to find out how Advertisers leverage from Partners promoting top-performing products by category.

Choose partners that fit your product

Before searching for Partners to connect with, Advertisers need to think about:

  • Target audience you want to reach out to
  • What type of Partners that could influence your target audience effectively
  • What kind of properties, including website and social media platforms, where you can connect with your target audience

Once Advertisers list them down, the next step is to search for Partners. Most agencies provide a list of recommended content creators and influencers. However, it is time-consuming.

With Involve, Advertisers can find, select and connect with Partners fast and seamlessly!

Advertisers can view the Partners’ performance in the Performance Report by selecting the filters, such as date range and Offer. After aligning their promotions with Partners correctly, they will be able to see an increase in clicks, conversions and sales amount (RM) like the image below.

Use tracking to optimise your sales

When viewing the Partners’ performance, Advertisers take the following criteria based on credibility:

  • Partners’ background and online presence
  • Partners’ content to ensure their style and persona fits with Advertisers’ brand profile
  • Type of Partners’ audience
  • Reach and engagement with Partners’ content

Specifically, Advertisers can view further what kind of products (by category) that Partners promote and earn conversions from.

At Involve, Advertisers can view the conversion reports on their Dashboard.

After setting the filters by date range and Offer page, Advertisers can view the conversions made on certain products and product categories.

Advertisers can see what type of Partners are working well for them by looking at the type of products and categories that convert the most sales at their e-commerce websites. This will enable Advertisers to reduce commissions on products that are not working and increase payouts for those products that work well with Partners.

Advertisers also view the Partners’ content (such as product reviews and unboxing) to see how they promote recommended products to their followers.

Provide comprehensive information to Partners

Partners want to know about the brands, what brands hope to accomplish, and the benefits from promoting the brands’ products.
