Wondering why no sales?
My name is Rudy Chimo I am marketing an Affiliate Program for one of the Top Incentive Premium companies in the USA. Our client base is Fortune 500 clients for the past 16 years and up to about 2 years ago we allowed other companies to buy from us. To make a long story short I have had an Affiliate Program built for this so we can have a strong online presence as well. We prelaunched in January and I have been heavily marketing this online since March. My traffic is way up I have people book marking my page and staying on my site from 3 to 5 minutes. I have about 2 to 3 new affiliates signup every week but no sales. I respond very quickly and professionally but no one responds back to my emails. What am I doing wrong?

Best way to find out what is going wrong is to figure out what isn't going right. Basically, what I would recommend is figuring out who is paying the most through Overture for the keywords you are selling to. Go here and type in the phrase for which you are selling to ->http://uv.bidtool.overture.com/d/USm/search/tools/bidtool/ Next go to the site that pays the most for leads with those keywords and fill out an info request or something similar and see how they follow up with you, maybe they send baseball caps, maybe they send an email telling them in a head to head competition why their product is better than yours, etc. Anywho that is my 2cents,.

Honestly, Just send them a follow-up email and ask them why they decided to go elsewhere for the sale. You should get back a few answers....

I would be interested to know how many people will actually respond to follow-up emails.

Nobody can really help you on this without more information.
WHAT are you selling? If it is 'Zoo Doo' (crap cleaned up at the zoo and then put into zebra striped boxes... yes i'm serious) then I can tell you why you are getting no sales. You are selling crap. No pun intended. (okay, maybe a little  ) but if you are selling clothing, for example, that looks good and is offered at a reasonable price, then someone may have to look at your actual website and that of your affiliates to see what may be wrong. Some people build these snazzy looking websites and think they will impress the visitor into buying. But when it comes down to it, if the site is over built and hard to navigate, people will give up after a few minutes and go back to the search engine to find your competitor. If that doesn't help then you may need to hire a professional. Someone who runs many Affiliate Marketing programs successfully. I'm gonna guess right off hand that your order page may be 3-4 levels deep and kind of hard to find at that. Post your site and you will get more help, i'm sure.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but I dont think he's wondering about his own sales, think he wonders why affiliates sign up and then don't respond to his emails or make any sales. Like Steve-o said we really need a little more info to be able to help. So if you could tell us the market, commission and general info without link dropping, that would be great.

This makes me think he is getting traffic to the main sales site and this is where the failure is occuring.

Affiliate email
I just got into the affiliate scene and I've been wanting to ask the affiliate programs the same thing. I've got lots of clicks with no conversions.
- On top of that, my mailbox now gets filled with affiliate crap mail by affils I don't even belong to. That may explain a little why yours are being ignored. - One of the affils at cj (the reason I joined cj) has let my application sit for MONTHS. I even called them and nobody there (even in the internet department) knew what an affiliate program was. (OAKLEY) I had to explain it to them. That was two weeks ago and they are supposed to 'get back' with me. - I hope you get your answers. Its refreshing to hear of an affilate that cares.
