Hello!

ShopTemp will be starting its affiliate program some time in the coming weeks!

An affiliate program is basically allowing users to advertise ShopTemp and rewarding the users for the sales that they have brought to the shop.
There are other ways to reward users, anything is possible!

So post your ideas here, how would you like it to work?

Shoptemp is amazing!! Coupons or store credit would be nice. Anything like that and I'll do my best to make all my friends pirates. lol
 
I already made a topic like this, and everyone shot it down!

I was thinking, what if each GBAtemp member has their own, unique referral link to ShopTemp?
The more customers they attract say, they could get some benefits here at GBAtemp or even from Shoptemp, say like some discounts or some free goodies.

Or even, just a way for ShopTemp purchases to show up on your GBAtemp profile, to show you've bought something.

It could bring some liveliness to this new shopTemp venture, it could even act like a sort of "gift" thing here on GBAtemp, buy using a fellow temper's referral link so they can benefit from your purchase.

It would have to involve linking your GBAtemp account to a shoptemp account if possible.

I mean these are just ideas, what do you think?

Personally, I think a points system would be nice.
1 Expensive Item (Dingoo, WODE, etc) = 5 Points
1 Significant Item (High end flashcarts, high capacity memory) = 2 Points
1 Small item (Cheap flashcart, USB or DS accessories, low capacity memory)
Points can be exchanged for free goodies.

Maybe like 10 points for a free R4, being that R4 is so cheap.

Thems are just examples.
 
Store credit or coupons

Interesting.
A points system like found on many credit-cards would be nice.
 
Similar to what DX does?

You get 1 point for every $10 you bring to the shop, and 1 point can be redeemed for 10 cents store credit.

This way, you get 1% of the sales you bring.

Sounds about right. But really, I'd rather see the prices go down with 1%

Sounds like an absolute rip off.
I mean Play-asia will give you 50 cents store credit just for leaving a review on something you bought recently, and you will get 12% affiliation on anything you help sell.

DX's scheme...geez it would take like $500 of sales just to get $5 for one of their cheaper things.

maybe a little more than 10 cents (like 15 or 20 cents) if it is such a rip-off
i support this 99999......... %
 
Most credit cards have a 1% thing that works for most people. However, considering that most people are gonna spend around 20$ in total, 1% doesn't cut it compared to say just grocery shopping where you can easily spend 100$. However, moving it up to around 10% maybe a bit to high and may cut into profits X amount. There's a delicate balance that must be maintained. If you do decide to got with a couple % thing, I advise that doing things such as submitting reviews, and such will give points the same way Dx does. It would also be nice to add some perks to long time temp users who actively contribute to the community, but that's wishful thinking, lol.

The problem is for rewards so insultingly low, NOBODY would participate in the program.
That means no effective advertising.

Shoptemp will need to give some decent, worthwhile incentive for people to advertise their affiliation.

It's like jgu1994 said, people aren't spending $100 on a regular basis at flashcart stores, rates need to reflect the average sale, which is usually one flashcart, plus memory.
