I. The Entire web is your Market.
Online is your only possibility to reach potential prospects in other countries. Real success with SFI will compel you to widen your reach and go for as wide a market as you can prospect. Gift cards can be an effective tool to penetrate that world wide market.
II. You will need to follow-up online with your gift card recipients
Prospecting and recruiting quality affiliates is constant exchange and contacts and feedback. Your gift card distribution will be much more effective when you have a tracking system that allows you to follow-up and seek feedback from the recipients. This allows you to improve your strategy.
III. Use the Gift Cards as an Online List Building
Not every prospect will become an affiliate or an ECA or a customer.
In addition to follow-ups, you will enhance the effectiveness of your gift card distribution by linking it to your website, or your blog or both.
Thus, you have an integrated marketing strategy in which all the tools you are using are working together to help you be more effective.
I wish you the best luck and success.
