What
to highlight in free reports to increase your sales in affiliate
marketing
Free reports are the best follow-ups invented by the affiliate
marketing world. Rare are the instances wherein you get to establish a
sale just by a few convincing words on your pre-seller site, and so
follow-ups are crucial. Some prospects need a little more courting
before they finally make a decision of buying your product, and this is
where free reports come in.
Free reports can contain everything and anything under the sun about
your products, however, doing just that might spoil your chances of
ever closing sales with your ever choosy prospects. In order for your
free reports to bring you the results you want, and that is to increase
your sales, you must focus on highlights instead of on complete
information regarding the products your prospects might either already
know or aren't interested to know. Highlighting the right things will
eventually make your prospects say “yes” to your
products.
We like to buy products that are beneficial to us, therefore, you
should HIGHLIGHT THE BENEFITS YOUR PRODUCT OFFERS in your free reports.
The chances that your prospects already know of the advantages of
buying your product are high. It is more likely that these benefits are
the reason behind their subscribing to your free reports.
But it wouldn’t hurt to constantly remind them of what they
are
missing out on, and what they can gain if they buy your product. Just
remember to repackage the benefits you highlight once in a while, for
no one likes reading the same things over and over again. Lastly,
remember that although more benefits mean increased sales,
don’t
overdo and exaggerate.
Next, you might want to INCLUDE TESTIMONIALS in your free reports. Your
prospects need to be reminded that your products can make real people
happy, and that it can make them happy, too. Highlight testimonials you
feel your prospects can relate most to. Again, no one likes to read the
same things over and over again, and so vary the testimonials you place
on your free reports. Another mistake affiliate marketers do with their
free reports is that they bombard it with too many testimonials,
especially if the product is worth testifying for. Highlighting 3-5
testimonials per free report is good enough.
Prospects sign up for free reports because they want to know more about
the product, so HIGHLIGHT ANY DEVELOPMENTS ON YOUR PRODUCT in your free
reports. Highlight any upgrades your products might have recently
experienced, recent findings regarding the features and benefits of the
products, and reviews reputable people, groups, and organizations have
made on your product. Again, be varied. You’ll never know
what
developments will catch the eye of your prospects, and bring you the
increase in sales you have always wanted.
However, knowing what to put in your free reports is not enough. Your
reports should contain certain characteristics that would turn your
prospective buyers into buyers. If you want more sales than just a
meager month’s worth of groceries and bills, then you should
also
take note of the following characteristics your reports should have in
order to optimize sales.
USE AN ACTIVE VOICE. Tell your prospects what to do, not what they can
do. Instead of saying “If you buy this product now, (benefits
here),” say “Buy this product now and (benefits
here).” This little change can make a lot of difference in
your
sales. Just make sure you place your commands at the right places.
ADD A LITTLE “SPUNK.” Make your prospects love the
things
you put in your free reports. Make them laugh, cry, or think. A lot of
the right attitude can go a long way, and your prospects are smart
enough to determine attitude, even if it’s written. If you
make
them feel good enough about reading about your product, you might
finally get that increased sales you have been longing for.
BE FOCUSED. Do not write about search-engine optimization when you are
promoting your products. That also goes for writing about multiple
products in one report. Focus on one product only, and make your free
reports in such a way that would make your prospects focus on buying
your product.
Free reports, again, are one of the best ways to increase your sales,
that is, if done correctly. Remember that the goal of free reports is
to convince your prospects that your products are what they need or
want. If you have to, put yourself in your prospects’ shoes,
and
focus on what they might like to see in the free reports. Combine that
with the tips named in this article, and voila! You have your own
recipe for increased sales through free reports.
