Context:
Gladylon, a casual wear clothing brand, has an Affiliate Program that collaborates with stores, restaurants, and cafes. These partners help promote Gladylon’s products by displaying samples and offering exclusive offers to their customers.
How It Works:
Partnership Setup: Gladylon partners with a local cafe, let’s call it “CafeBreeze,” which has a strong customer base. Gladylon provides CafeBreeze with samples of their clothing line, such as t-shirts or hoodies.
Affiliate Link and Coupons: CafeBreeze receives a unique affiliate link from Gladylon to share with their customers. This link tracks purchases made through their promotions. Gladylon also provides a special coupon code for CafeBreeze to offer their customers. For example, customers who spend over ₹500 at CafeBreeze can use a coupon code “CAFE100” for a discount on Gladylon’s products.
Program Benefits:
Sample Display: Gladylon’s products are displayed at CafeBreeze, allowing customers to see and feel the clothing. This physical interaction can lead to increased interest and sales.
Shared Traffic: CafeBreeze promotes Gladylon’s affiliate link and coupon code through in-store promotions or their digital channels, driving traffic to Gladylon’s website.
Commissions: CafeBreeze earns a commission for each purchase made through their affiliate link. For instance, if a customer buys a hoodie through the affiliate link, CafeBreeze gets a fixed amount of the sale.
Coupon Incentives: Customers who use the coupon code “CAFE100” receive a discount on Gladylon’s products, and CafeBreeze offers this discount to customers who spend over ₹500 at their establishment.
Example:
Collaboration: Gladylon partners with CafeBreeze. Gladylon’s t-shirts and hoodies are displayed at the cafe, and CafeBreeze receives the affiliate link and coupon code “CAFE100.”
Promotion: CafeBreeze shares the affiliate link and coupon code in their cafe, such as on table tents or receipts. Customers who visit the cafe and spend over ₹500 receive the coupon code for a discount on Gladylon’s online store.
Earnings: Each time a customer uses the affiliate link to purchase Gladylon products or uses the “CAFE100” coupon code, CafeBreeze earns a commission. The discount encourages more customers to shop, benefiting both Gladylon and CafeBreeze.
This program boosts Gladylon’s sales by leveraging the customer base of partner stores, restaurants, and cafes, while providing them with additional revenue through commissions and offering discounts to their customers.
