Influencers, KOLs, coupons, and cashback Partners know what their audiences are interested in and look for particular items that they consider purchasing online. In addition to that, with creativity, they implement promotional content strategies with effective visuals and captions which entice people to click on their links, directing them to Advertisers’ sites.
Let’s have a look at how one of the leading marketplaces in Malaysia increased gross sales with Partners at Involve.
Tapping into specific Partner categories
For the Advertiser, Affiliate Marketing is a new media strategy for reaching out to audiences through Influencers and KOLs.
At Involve, we connected the Advertiser with Influencer, KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), coupon and cashback Partners via campaigns and activation initiatives to fulfill the following main objectives:
- Optimise and grow Advertiser’s e-commerce sales & brand awareness to Influencers and KOLs in Southeast Asia
- Increase Partner participation in promoting the brand
Involve only charges clients based on performance so there was no specific budget for various campaigns.
Giving endless possibilities to Partners
These Partners select products available in various categories based on their audiences’ needs followed by inputting their creativity in talking about these products through different types of content such as product reviews and promotions on social media channels, blogs and websites.
In their content, they added three important elements for their followers so they could enjoy the online shopping experience on Advertiser’s e-commerce platform:
- Campaign mechanics
- Voucher codes
- Call-to-action with affiliate links that direct them to the designated landing pages
They know what kind of products to talk about and provide their thoughts and recommendations that lead to more sales and conversions.

Onboarding Partners
New Partners were encouraged to the Advertiser’s affiliate program where they can earn up to 9.1% commission on various product categories by promoting recommended items on their content. Orders made on the Advertiser’s e-commerce platform were tracked via Web, Mobile and App platforms.
We shared the following assets to let Partners know about ways to enjoy the benefits of Advertiser’s affiliate program:

We recommended ideal Partners to the Advertiser based on the top-performing categories and Partners’ performances. Taking engagement rates, followers’ demographics, and clicks & conversions as KPIs bring advantages for Advertiser’s campaigns.

Campaign and Communication Plan
Our Advertiser team worked together with the Advertiser to prepare key information of campaigns beforehand to promote, for these Partners.
- Campaign mechanics

Having this information on hand allowed Partners enough time to prepare content to be published for these platforms before the launch of campaigns and events.
We aligned special campaigns with the Advertisers which give Partners special commissions including bonus payout, based on cost-per-sale and cashback:
- Double-digit sales (eg. 10.10, 11.11)

- AMS campaigns
These Partners will also acquire additional cash bonuses when meeting the target amount of orders and new customers.
