Use everything SFI has to offer -

1. Be sure that your SFI percentage is large enough to attract others to advertise for you.
2. Feature your items often, use the Hot Deals and Closeouts frequently.
3. Every time someone purchases from you Thank them in the news mentioning the item they purchased so that it gets seen in the stream.
4. When you connect with another ECA or Tconnect page put information about your page and services in their comment section.
5. Set up a Facebook business page with your items advertised there and invite your members to visit your page in your weekly newsletters to like it.
6. Also put interesting tidbits about your items in the ECA news so that they get seen in the stream. You have to be seen 7-9 times before anyone remembers you.
7. If you have items that you can comment about in the forum without actually advertising them, such as explaining why it is necessary to do __________ that is beneficial to SFI members. Mention that there are products in Triple clicks that can help them do the _________.
8. Use your TripleClicks page as a signature under your name in your emails and messages.
9. Offer your items free to your downline in a contest or as an incentive for them to accomplish some goal.
10.Write interesting articles about your items in your personal blog,webpage and newsletters.

I suggested that SFI set up some sort of advertising medium for ECA members to use. SFI has the Ttime game, the DOD, and many other places they passively advertise their products. The ECA program would prosper and grow much better if the ECA people had some comparable ways to passively advertise their products to SFI members.After all the main advantage to an ECA store is the built in incentive of members to purchase from them.

Obviously you can promote your ECA Store in your Leadership Page, totally legitimate and anyone can access that to see what you are offering, including all your down-line. But to be honest I don't think you have to go out of your way to promote it, as anyone searching on Tripleclicks for SFI-products should find what you are offering anyway, by simply using the search feature.

If you want to go a few steps further though, you can create your own personal SFI-based website and Facebook Page (I have done this and it is quite successful) on which to create another advertising medium, prmote those sites through Twitter etc., but then make sure you include your web site address and Facebook Page address in all your communications to your down-line. I do this underneath my signature, and make mention of these links in my emails sometimes, which you can do as they are SFI related.

Hope this helps

Hello Mike,
you can use the News Feed on your ECA TConnect Page to inform other affiliates about new items listing,hot deals offer...any news about your store.They will be able to see it at ECA News on Stream Tab.
You can also send a newsletter to your connected members,through ECA-Center.Let them know on regular bases about any news at your store.If they are also your customers and satisfied with your products and delivery,they will recommend your store to other affiliates in their teams and a2a friends and write you an exellent review.That's also very important in promoting your products and store and in increasing your sells.
Maybe some of them will decide to advertise your store or any particular item.And, you can do that,too.Use the social networks and advertising pages /Websites/ where you ussually post your ads about SFI and TripleClicks.
I hope this will help and wish you a lot of customers.

Hello,

I've seen many great answers, so, in addition to the ones provided, I wanted to add a few suggestions which i have not yet seen.

Perhaps since almost all SFI Affiliates actively involve themselves in advertising on such advertising vendors such as:

-Traffic Exchanges
-Safe Mail Lists
-Online Free and/or paid Classified Sites
-Selected groups using Online Social Platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

Since many of us are advertising using many of the above methods, chances are very high we will also see any other advertisements made by ECA's like yourself who are advertising services geared towards serving the SFI Community. Try adding a catchy title to your ad you want us to see, and include reasons why we should visit your ECA in your ad.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

If you are an ECA, it is not unethical or against the rules to solicit support from Affiliates. Here are some easy way to do this:

Send a News blurb to those Affiliates who are connected to you. (It will show up in their Stream, and on their TConnect page).

Connect to lots of other Affiliates through A2A and Stream post them,. Many people will return the favor by connecting back to you.

Offer an item from your store to be the Deal of the Day, WAVE3 discount product or an Auction item.

If possible, alter the CV of your items to garner more advertising by TripleClicks.

Good luck!

The only option allowed for sharing your product offers with Trple Clicks members directly is through your ECA News and Updates which requires members to connect to your store to avoid having them receive sales pitches from 5,000+ ECA who all want to reach every member with their products.

So how do you get more connections?

1. Be Active on the SFI Forums, when you are people click your profile link and send A2A connects and some view your t-connect page and will connect with your ECA Store as well.
2. Be active in auctions. Every time I bid at auction 2-3 people connect with my ECA Store. When I won my first auction I had 8 new connections within an hour or two of hitting the winners circle.
3. Connect with many other ECA, they are members too and many of them are also SFI Affiliates who will need your services.
4. Connect through SFI Groups on social media networks and forum sites and share your t-connect page or ECA Prestige Domain.
5. Start a website or blog and ask readers that are SFI members to consider your best deals at your ECA Store.
6. Offer regular sales using the featured items listings. Don't try to hog the spotlight like some of these folks who put every product on featured listings just add 1-2 listings every couple of weeks and MAKE THE DISCOUNT WORTH TRYING YOUR SERVICE!

Sorry to shout that last part but I see a lot of so called featured items where they raised the price the week before by 20% and are now offering 10% off of the inflated price as a featured listing. People aren't stupid and this tactic fails and destroys trust.

Now for the last secret it should be common sense. Deliver great service and awesome value. Don't advertise daily, share special deals and featured listings, new products, or just update your connected members 2-3 times a week with information about a product or niche related to your products. Never make anyone feel they are being sold to, people hate that and will disconnect.

Always promote your ECA link and let the affiliate decide which product they want to buy. Give them their cake and let them eat it too. A wide selection of products provides choice. A wide selection of prices gives them the sense of belonging. There is something for everyone. Not just for those who can afford the pricier items and not just for the poor. If your ECA is look at like a cheap store that can backfire. If all of your products are expense that will definitely have negative repercussions. Find a happy medium and don't try to be a one stop shop for everything. Have a theme and stick with it.

While related products may enhance your merchandising plan, don't go too far outside of the box. Set limits and abide by them. Always provide exceptional customer service and do everything you can to deliver on time every time. Complaints arise so be prepared to deal with them effectively. Do this and you will be ethical and adhere to the rules.

I think, the best way is to 'play as a team' :-)

1) When I see that my downline has great offers in stock I am very happy to advertise it in
a) my weekly newsletter
b) in my eMail signature as 'my great tip for the week'

==> So, just ask your upline to promote your best items. They have a greater list to advertise ;-)

2) When chatting with other a2a members with STL status and above I ask them to advertise it to their team as well.

==> We are a 'big family' and are willing to help each other :-)

Great question.

I think the main thing is not to be pushy and don't harass your fellow sfi co-workers.

You should advertise it,however, anywhere you can outside SFI, and if some of us (sfi members) see it by chance and like it, you know we'll buy it.

Also, you can use your ECA connections and once in a while (again don't be pushy) send them a mail describing your new offers, or hot deals.

And finally, use ECA post, it will show in your connections stream, so they'll always know if something appealing comes up.

If you were to make friends on a2a and then let them know you had products that might be of service to them at your eca, I would see nothing wrong with that, you would be pushing your eca store not the products. Something else helpful would be naming your store in a manner that would let people know what the content in the store is, then you could just mention the name.
Please make it about the affiliates not about you making money, be sure you have quality products that you have used so you can give reviews to your downline and a2a friends. There are many products on the market and many are not worth the price that will be asked for them. You will do good if these products if they help the people because word of mouth is the best advertising.
