Want to really wow your super affiliates? You know they’re making you a lot of money, and they know they are too. You can build strong relationships with your affiliates in simple ways that you may not have considered using surprise thank you bonuses for high performing affiliates. Let’s look at some of these fun and exciting ideas.
Send Snail Mail Thank You
Whenever an affiliate signs up, be sure to collect all their business information including their address. You may need this information anyway for tax purposes so it’s a legitimate ask from affiliates so that you can pay them and do everything legally. But, imagine that you send them a thank you for joining card in the mail with a unique QR code giving them special access or discounts for their audience for something you want them to promote? Do you think they’ll be thinking of you? Of course.
Send Something Yummy
Most people like food. This is one instance where your genre may matter. If you are a vegan promoting vegan options, make sure you stick to your branding and send something vegan. Otherwise, it won’t matter that much what type of yummy food you choose to send a stand out superstar.
Give them a Gift Card
You can often get discounts on buying gift cards in bulk. This means that you can give someone 50 dollars on a gift card that maybe cost you 40 dollars. It won’t change the value to the recipient, but it will mean a lot to your return on investment. Sending even a gift card for one Starbucks coffee will go far in letting the affiliate know how much they mean to you, especially if you send it via snail mail with a personalized note.
Send Cash
You can of course, always send cash to them via your normal payment method in order to give them a bonus. Sending unexpected money to an affiliate and then making sure you point it out to them, so they know they got the money (sometimes it’s hard for an affiliate to realize it’s a bonus if you don’t tell them with this method) they’ll be super happy you did it and thankful, too.
Send Premiums
One thing that is fun to send to high sellers are T-shirts, pens, jump drives, and other things with your branding on them for them to wear and use. Every time they use it, they’ll think of you. A great thing to do, if you know enough about an affiliate, is to send t-shirts for the entire immediate family instead of just the seller. That really shows you care.
Get Creative
Don’t be afraid to get creative based on the type of business you have. The type of business you have can inform the type of bonuses you give to your high selling super affiliates. Sometimes even providing product is a good choice, but only if the affiliates are also your audience.
When you think outside the box regarding the different types of bonuses you can give your super affiliates, it’ll make all the difference in how they perceive you. This is really helpful if your bonuses are unannounced. When you send any gift to someone without telling them first, it always seems extra special even if they really did earn it. Don’t be afraid to get creative. It makes you memorable. Imagine how they’ll act when getting it. Most people today will take a picture, tag the gift giver, and thank them publicly online. What a great way to spread brand awareness and impress your super affiliates.
