True dat!
The only people that have ever sent me ANYTHING other than cheques - is MayorsMoney and TeenRevenue. I've made both of them thousands of extra dollars in the years since they did that. Could you argue that they might of made that money without sending me anything at all? Well maybe, but unlikely.
Wake up sponsors! Yes - it might cost you a little to do something nice for your affiliates, but on the off chance you get someone like me, my loyalty is worth real dollars in your pocket, as well as mine, because unlike most affiliates, I intend to stick around.
When a new affiliate signs up, send them a welcome mailer, friggin sign it with your own hand, send me some promo stuff, a pic or two I can actually HANG UP on my wall, SUPER BONUS if you get the girl you want me to promote to sign it personally. You know? The little things are huge and knowing you appreciate MY efforts will get me to work hard for you, and your ROI will be realized many times over.
