Product Feed

An inventory of up-to-date product information is available on the fly in various formats, such as CSV, API, XML, etc., for quick viewing and downloadable use. This exhaustive list of products is called a “Product Feed,” containing nothing short of rich information, including product names and descriptions, prices, images, categories, availability, and more.

Why are Product Feeds Important?

  1. The feeds can be saved and downloaded from the affiliate dashboard in multiple easy-to-view formats to cater to different affiliate needs and can be used for future reference.

  2. They are then shared with affiliates, who convert these files into easy-to-browse product catalogs displayed in website search results and shopping ads for promotional purposes. In other words, the products can be showcased effectively on online platforms using product feeds. The feeds will be used to import and manage product data efficiently.

  3. The complete end-to-end process of importing, exporting, and managing product data through product feeds is automated, saving time, effort, and costs and reducing human errors.

  4. By incorporating product attributes and specifications, you as a marketer can add a layer of detail to your offerings, ensuring better alignment with customers’ requirements.

Thus, the Product Feed is a cornerstone for affiliates to promote their offerings accurately. Moreover, the Offer18 Performance Marketing Platform provides advanced features, including bulk product import, automated product updates, and seamless integration with third-party systems.

How does the Product Feed Feature from the Offer18 Platform Benefit Marketers?

This allows them to concentrate on providing value-added products and strengthening customer relationships.

  2. Increased Online Presence

    Affiliates can easily categorize their products based on attributes and specifications, making it easier to discover them on social media platforms and popular marketplaces. Products can easily be segmented based on their categories, which enhances their online presence and attracts more traffic. By including SEO-optimized tactics of searching products through relevant keywords, products can be readily found in search results with improved online visibility and click-through rates.

  3. Automatic Updates

    Automated tools and software schedule feed generation and delivery and generate unlimited data feeds in less time. Automation tools update your feed regularly to minimize the risk of outdated information used by affiliates. This includes updates regarding pricing changes, new arrivals, and product availability information. While updating the feed, you as a marketer, must ensure that the information is consistent across platforms, thereby ruling out any misinformation or discrepancies and enhancing the overall marketing strategy.

  4. Ease of Customization

    The use of sophisticated tools or software for product feeds can generate prefilled ready-made templates to address the customer's specific needs. It also saves a lot of time and money for tech-savvy marketers. You may customize your product feeds to highlight the most relevant attributes that resonate well with your customer needs and preferences. For example: If the customer is looking for Reebok shoes, the templates featuring Reebok Shoes are prominently displayed in the feed.

  5. Increased Return on Investment

    Automated tools and software help you measure the effectiveness of your marketing efforts and increase productivity. By automating the process of sharing product information, marketers can realize an uptick in return on investment. The feeds are customized to include specific data fields, such as product description, price, and images relevant enough to reach the right audience at the right time and drive higher conversion rates.

Coupon Tracking

Coupons influence the customer's purchasing decisions by incentivizing them with discounts. These coupons either attract the attention of new customers or reward old customers for their loyalty. In this way, it sets an urgency in the mind of shoppers for an immediate reward that looks more comfortable to redeem and reduces churn rates as well. In practice, the codes are assigned to coupons to track the effectiveness of campaigns, which sets a mechanism to track the success of promotions and improve marketing strategies.

Stats reveal that 92% of online shoppers seek coupons before checking out, and social media is becoming increasingly popular, with an impressive 76% of customers finding coupons there. In the Offer18 platform, you can create coupon codes for partners, and partners can request codes via the affiliate portal. You can also manage the attribution settings for using these coupon codes onto your systems. For example:- You can set expiration dates or limit the number of users (e.g., first 2000 users eligible for a coupon code).

Why is Coupon Tracking Important?

  1. Tracking coupons allows marketers to monitor potential customers' usage of codes and measure the number of conversions generated from those coupon codes. The allure of getting rewards, discounts, or points by using these coupons makes customers go on a shopping spree and increases conversions for marketers.

  2. The coupon codes provide insights into the performance of each affiliate, wherein they are compensated with commissions when every time a customer redeems a coupon (by coupling the affiliate accounts with coupon codes at the backend).

  3. The cutting-edge Coupon Tracking feature in Offer18 enables you to assess the effectiveness of your coupon codes across different marketing channels like email, web, mobile apps, etc. In addition, you can also allocate codes to exclusive coupon offers, allowing you to track code usage and identify which offers generate the most conversions.

  2. Increase Brand Loyalty

    Marketers can build a loyalty program by rewarding their customers with special deals. Special codes make them feel valued as if they belong to a VIP suite or part of a club. This way, they can spread positive word of mouth for your programs and share voucher codes online with people in their networks. This impacts the perception of your brands in a positive manner. According to statistics, 68 percent of consumers say digital coupons help generate brand loyalty.

Additionally, you can also generate separate coupon sets for each promotion in a multi-tier system.

  5. Increased Order Value

    Consumers often spend more than their original order value when they receive discounts on their offers. The coupon codes enable customers to reach a specific spending threshold and take advantage of great bargains. By limited-time offers, marketers create a sense of urgency for customers, which can lead to windfall gains. Offer18 retains existing consumers and attracts new ones through email marketing automation software, which has extensive functionality to deliver targeted, tailored discount coupons to customers at the right time. This encourages spending that exceeds the original order value.
