Affiliate Wiz version 8
and higher introduced an option for defining email creative and also
an option to allow Affiliates to send email marketing campaigns to
their prospects. Some feature highlights include:
- Ability to enable the option by
Affiliate Type
- Ability to limit how many email
messages your affiliates can send
- Option to enable affiliates to
email their own content (not recommended). If this feature
is not enabled the affiliates are limited to sending only the
Email Creative that you have defined in the system.
- Option to include Opt Out Text
with each email sent by your affiliates to comply with spam laws
To enable the Email Marketing option
for your Affiliates, edit the Affiliate Type of interest and scroll
down to the section title "Email Marketing Options".
Enable the feature and choose the desired options.
We do not recommend using the option
to allow Affiliates to send their own content as this would allow
them to use the system to send spam unrelated to your Affiliate
Marketing Program.
How do I define email creative? To
define email creative, click the Email Creative link on the left
side of the navigation in the overall administration console.
How can I view the list of prospects my Affiliates
have emailed? To view the list of prospects your
Affiliates have communicated with, click Affiliates, then click the
last tab titled "View Affiliate Prospects".
This option will allow you to view:
- A list of your Affiliate Prospects including
their email address and the date they were imported into the
system.
- A send history of how many emails were sent,
on what date, and to view the content that was emailed.
- View the opt out list to see what prospects
asked to be opted out of the system.
How do Affiliate's manage their prospects
and send email marketing material to those prospects?
Once the email marketing feature has been
enabled, affiliates can access this option from the Affiliate
Console under the header titled "Manage Prospects".
Options include:
-
Prospect Lists -- All prospects
are organized into lists so that prospects can be emailed by
list.
-
Email Addresses -- Defines the
list of prospects added into the system. All prospects
can belong to one or more Prospect Lists. Prospects
can be added individually, or imported in a list format.
-
Opt Out List
-- Each time an email
marketing campaign or "emal blast" is sent to a prospect,
they will be provided with a link to opt out of the system.
Those who choose to opt out are displayed on the opt out
list and cannot be re-imported in the future.
-
Send History
-- This simply shows
a history of all email blasts that were sent to prospects
along with the content that was emailed.
-
Send Email Blast
-- This option is
used to send a new email blast or email marketing campaign
to a prospect list.
How can affiliates import prospects?
Affiliates can import email addresses from a text file such as
TAB, CSV, etc or can import directly from their Gmail account.
