Get The Most Out of Tapfiliate’s Pro Plan

Whether you’re just starting out or growing fast, you want to make sure that your affiliate program keeps up with your business.

This is actually one thing our team here at Tapfiliate prides itself on: giving our customers a product that can grow and scale with their needs. Day in and day out, our customer success team works with both upcoming and established brands. We’ve heard what works, what’s missing, and what’s needed for everything to run smoothly.

With this in mind, we have found the Pro Plan to be perfect for those brands looking to take their affiliate marketing program to the next level.

Tapfiliate’s Pro Plan offers you an upgraded version of many of Tapfiliate’s key features including:

• New ways to incentivize affiliates using bonus commissions
• Extra customization options for affiliate onboarding
• Further branding opportunities with custom domain settings
• Additional resources for program management through team members

Let’s explore what the Pro Plan can do for you.

Incentivize affiliates with bonus commissions

Tapfiliate’s Essential Plan lets you set commission rates per affiliate group or even by item or category. But if you are looking for that extra boost to bring in conversions, bonus commissions could be your answer.

With the Pro Plan, you can reward affiliates with bonus commissions.

Bonus affiliate commissions explained

Bonus commissions are awarded if affiliates reach a set goal during a given time period. This can include:

• Reaching a certain amount of conversions
• Reaching a total conversion amount

For example, it’s slow season and you want to maximize conversions during this time. So you encourage affiliates by setting a bonus goal. If affiliates have 5 or more conversions, they will earn an extra 5%.

If an affiliate does an awesome job and drives 7 conversions, 5% would be added to all 7 conversions. Then, once the bonus period is over, you’ll approve the affiliate bonuses — which in this example would be a 5% bonus added on top of the standard commission for that period.

When’s a good time to use affiliate bonuses?

This is a great way to motivate affiliates to help you reach your sales goals. Some instances where bonuses would be useful include:

• New product or features launches
• Seasonal and holiday sales
• Decreased sales periods (i.e. tourism in winter)
• End of the fiscal quarter or year

Personalization of affiliate experience

There are several customization options already available for your program with the Essential plan. The Pro Plan lets you go even further in personalizing the experience for your affiliates, and gives you more ways to optimize your affiliate marketing efforts.

• Find out how affiliates learned about your program for more targeted affiliate recruitment.
• Understand what channels they’ll use for promotion to create relevant marketing materials.
• Know who your affiliates are on a deeper level so you can better communicate with them and help them be successful.

Custom onboarding and affiliate insights explained

Set custom onboarding fields to easily gather more information about your affiliates. With this information, you’ll have new insights into your affiliate program.

Some custom fields you can add include:

• Social media handles or social media channels
• The size of their audience/following
• How they intend to promote your brand or products
• How they heard about your affiliate program
• Promotional strategies they use
• The email of their account in your platform/shop
• Their phone number
• Their preferred coupon code (You’ll assign the coupon codes in a later step)

Examples:

For instance, you might ask affiliates to provide their social media handles and what channels they plan to promote on. If an affiliate says Instagram, you know you’ll need to provide promo codes and visually appealing marketing images. If they use YouTube, this is a great channel for in-depth product reviews so you might consider offering special commission rates for specific products you want them to feature in videos.

End-to-end branding

With more and more options online, we all know how important it is to distinguish yourself from the competition, and end-to-end branding is a must.

The Pro Plan lets you set up a custom domain for your affiliate program.

Everything will perfectly match your overall branding. This professionalizes the look and feel of your affiliate program and makes for a seamless experience when affiliates sign up.

Get expanded program management & admin controls

Whether it be the finance department paying commissions or customer support teams identifying potential affiliates — your affiliate program is a team effort. This involves working across departments and with several different teams.

Make this collaboration easier with the Pro Plan feature called Team Members.

This Pro Plan feature allows you to add additional admin members to your account. This can include:

• Sales teams who can learn about how affiliates impact revenue or how they perform during special campaigns.
• Customer support teams who want to help affiliates navigate the Tapfiliate platform and answer their questions.
• Creative teams who create shareable assets and content for affiliates to share.
• Product teams who want to find out which products are the most popular among affiliate audiences.
• Finance teams who can settle balances & carry out affiliate payouts.
• Development teams helping you configure your tracking scripts or creating API automations.
