Promotional materials are the essence of affiliate marketing. Promotions in advertising are far from foolproof, but using the right marketing strategy, paying attention to analytics, and utilizing the correct promotional material at the right time can yield brand awareness and high profits.
Discount coupons
Customer purchases are often motivated by saving money. A successful e-commerce business should always offer discount coupons due to this fact. According to studies, customers who receive coupons spend 37% more than they would without them.
No longer do you customers have to spend countless hours combing through weekly flyers, clipping and organizing coupons, or searching coupon sites to find and print coupons. You can match your coupon marketing strategy with where your customers spend time online: email, text, and social media.
In an ecommerce environment where more retailers are using digital coupons to promote their products, exploring new ways to share coupons is vital. The best way to reach your target audience is to share discounts with them rather than posting the same type of coupons repeatedly. To maximize exposure and customer follow-up, content needs to be relevant, timely, and of perceived value to the customer.

Site replication
By using Post Affiliate Pro’s replication feature, affiliates are able to duplicate or replicate your business website while retaining its look and content intent. As a resulting benefit, businesses are able to advertise their products, services, and business to a large audience of potential customers and make their presence online stronger.
Having replicated sites allows affiliates to promote you even if they do not have their own web site to place banners. Affiliates can copy their URL from the replicated site into their campaigns. Personalized replication sites also ensure that when customers visit the site, cookies are saved and the sale is referred to the affiliate.

Smartlinks
The term smartlinks refers to a particular type of link used in affiliate marketing that drives customers to offers they are more likely to buy. The technology selects an offer individually for everyone who has followed the referral link. Ads are selected automatically based on the referral link. In other words, SmartLinks are affiliate links which do not point to one specific product.
A complex algorithm powered by underlying technology features top converting offers based on multiple factors, including geographical location, user device, and area of interest to present an offer that has a higher chance of making a sale or email subscription for the advertiser.
