Differential Commission Management Tool to Set Up a Custom Commission Structure

Merchants, over the years, are having difficulty in getting affiliates to stay loyal to them. Most merchants get frustrated when they lose affiliates because the current platform they use is not flexible enough to better serve the affiliates in terms of their demands for better commission schemes and expectations ranging from promotions to administrative support, to name a few. Other factors causing the decline in affiliate linking is that instead of driving traffic, some affiliate tools even cost merchants decreased SEO ranking and web site traffic.

With the recent release of Euraffiliates "Next G" Affiliate Marketing Software by the British company Where the World Meets plc, there is now a better alternative that addresses the needs and wants of affiliates. Next-G is a feature-rich, cost-effective and customizable affiliate marketing software that allows merchants to easily manage its affiliates with greater flexibility. There are several cutting-edge next-generation tools included in the software and one of these is the "Differential Commission Management Tool".

The Euraffiliates "Differential Commission Management Tool" has a graphical user-interface (GUI) that is easy to use and intuitive helping merchants to easily customize commission schemes among its affiliates. With a few clicks, merchants are ready to deploy strategic spiff programs, linking initiatives and launch sales programs in just a short time. The tool also helps merchant increase its own and its affiliate's search engine ranks, online revenue and visibility.

The Euraffiliates Next-G Differential Commission Management Tool's most important and unique feature is allowing merchants to strategically define a variety of specialized commission schemes, levels and rates for different affiliate levels.

Below are some of the Differential Commission ideas merchants can explore:

Affiliate group specific commission - allows users to arrange custom-fitted commission schemes for different affiliate types and levels within a group;

Affiliate specific commission - facilitates different commission payouts depending on affiliate level;

Tier specific commission setting - makes room for differential tiered commissions according to product and affiliate marketer level;

Mixed commission setting - allows combined and integrated commission level and affiliate structure setup; and

Product type specific commission - empowers merchants to have diverse commission structure for a range of product lines through a unified online system.

Lifetime commission setting - allows merchants to make a long term deal with an affiliate paying him earning opportunities for the repeat purchases. Merchant can even specify the deal period too.

With this tool, merchants can group according to category, product lines, and tiers that represent different rate structures. The program is also equipped to handle currency conversions, linking options, tracking and payment features. All of these, Euraffiliates was able to merge in an all-in-one, future-proof software which has been proven and tested to work for companies exploring e-commerce opportunities.

Apart from the commission category, merchants can add other incentives schemes on top of the ones normally generated. Say, an affiliate has exceeded his monthly quota for the past 3 months. The merchant may choose to reward him in the form of points or cash equivalents on top of what he normally receives. This is to motivate the affiliate to do better.

This tool also allows companies to put different product codes, with different margin percentages, linking equivalent commission rates. If the profit is huge but difficult to sell, then the merchant may also give a higher percentage commission to motivate affiliates to aggressively push the product.

Another feature is Pay-Per-Click and Pay-Per-Lead structure that lets merchants take advantage of referrals. If the product is new, the merchant may want to run a "Lead Generation Campaign" for the first three months. Leads are very important especially to help new affiliates sell instantly and merchants can also design different commission rates and policies in line with this campaign. After the campaign, merchants can tweak the existing campaign and commissions schemes to start a new campaign. This flexibility feature allows merchants to align its affiliate activities with the marketing calendar set for the year without any difficulty.

What's even better is that the software allows management of multiple web sites in one interface platform or web page. It can instantly run 10 domains without having to reinstall separately. Administration, customization and installation is easy to use and doesn't require an IT expert to deploy. It has a single affiliate and merchant control panel. The reporting tool is robust and easy to administer which allows sales tracking and a real-time record of sales generated from affiliate sites, assuring that due compensation will be given for the efforts of selling the merchant's products. Support is never a problem; Euraffiliates has a dedicated team of affiliate desk support that are available to handle pre and post-sales support.

While some may offer the same, the Euraffiliates Next-G Tool offers something that others cannot and that is Control. Merchants will be able to maximize their investments and keep partners happy by helping them meet faster and greater returns.

The software has all the features you need in an affiliate program and more. I especially like all the link options and the affiliate support desk," said L. Scott Redford, President of Diesel eBook Store. "We even had Euraffiliates technicians answering affiliate tickets for us at the beginning as we learned how to use the software," affirms Redford.

While others still talk, Euraffiliates "Next-G" Affiliate Marketing Software Tool lets the product speak for itself.
