Hi

I am putting the finishing touches to my affiliate programme and am trying to figure out what affiliates really want. I have developed a customized product to allow the affiliates to "own" the product and to put their mind at ease about any chance of direct sales.

Hopefully I can make my affiliate programme stand out from others. Please feel free to add your suggestions.

I think they base their choice on a number of factors, besides basing it on the commission they can get per sale.

I think the crutial things are:

They want to ensure or reduce the chance of the customer going direct without going through there link.

They want a fairly unique / exclusive product so every it is not available from every website they visit.

Some of them would like the option to drop ship the product so they "own" the customer and the product is just shipped on their behalf.

Let me know if any of you can think of others.
