How will the Affiliate Marketing module super-charge my store?The Affiliate Marketing module is all about increasing your shopping cart's traffic and sales. Affiliates advertise your store on their website — and they earn a commission on each sale they generate. All traffic, sales and earnings are tracked by the system, and are available to both the store Administrator and their Affiliates.
The Big Question: How much does the Affiliate Marketing module cost? The Affiliate Marketing module is included FREE with each Modular Merchant Marketplace STANDARD shopping cart software account. It's fully integrated and ready to go!

| How easy is it for Administrators to monitor,
update and manage Affiliate's accounts? |
| |
Just like Modular Merchant's Marketplace administration,
we've kept the controls for the Affiliate Marketing module
powerful and easy to use. Most operations, such as contacting
an Affiliate, viewing their account details, and changing
their activation status, can be done with the click of a
button.
The Administration Dashboard incorporates the same intuitive
interface as the rest of the Modular Merchant software, and
contains the same popup help windows as the rest of the site. |
| |
| Can an individual Affiliate create and track
multiple campaigns? |
| |
Unlike some other affiliate marketing programs, Modular Merchant's
allows each Affiliate to create multiple tracking
ID numbers. This enables the Affiliate to use a tracking ID
code on different pages of their website, allowing them to
track the performance of specific campaigns, pages, or even
compare the performance of multiple links on the same web page! |
| |
| Is the tracking method reliable, and can
it be customized to meet my needs? |
| |
The tracking system is built to meet web development standards.
The stability of the tracking architecture also provides flexibility
in its customization. Administrators have used the module
to track the traffic to sales conversion not only in their
standard affiliate marketing campaigns, but also to track the
performance of their advertising, Google AdWords and Overture
pay-per-click campaigns as well! |
| |
| After a customer becomes associated with an
Affiliate, can I protect the customer from being "stolen" by
another Affiliate? |
| |
Options are available to prevent "lead hijacking". This means
that a customer can't become associated with a new Affiliate
simply be clicking a link with another tracking ID code in
it.
Additionally, Admins can optionally prevent customers from
being assigned to an Affiliate if that customer has previously
placed an order in their store. This helps Admins retain
the leads they have generated themselves. |
| |
| Does the tracking system affect the site or
server performance? |
| |
Tracking of Affiliate traffic and sales is run as a separate
system component, greatly reducing the load on the server during
times of high-traffic. |
