Thx, pleasure to be here in Prag talk about my experiences with Affiliate Marketing and to show you a quite new publisher modell which could be interesting for you as well
My name is Marc, I am addicted to affiliate marketing
This picture used 10 years ago, first speech on the OMD in Düsseldorf in 2005, Online Marketing was a very new and small business. The show attended by just 5000 people, now 45.000 people
But this picture still drscribes what Display Advertsising/ Affiliate is all about
Delivering the right parcels or ads just in time to the right audience and make them happy.
Especially that is what I am trying to do.
personally delivering Display ads since 2004 Mediaplex, american adserving provider, always trying to find the right user, right ad, the right time on the best placement.After some experience in adserving, tracking and email marketing I founded my first company, a digital marketing agency focusing on affiliate marketing.
Vladan asked me to talk about my business and experiences as affilaite
So? how did I start?
Somewhen I thought why not using my experience with tracking, adserving, affiliate (Commission Junction was a daughter of VC) to start a own business.
That time one of the buzzwords was PostView campaigns.
OM shows - demand for people who do PV campaigns. And affiliates beeing sucessful
What does PostView Tracking mean for an Advertiser PV?Chance to get a huge reach on the market, millions of AI based on a cpa model.
In General - branding on cpm - postview you reach a huge audience with low investment. PostView enables to deliver on premium inventory for a cpa.
From Affiliate perspective - increase of total revenue by getting paid for views
So closer look to the benchmarks, companies already sucessful and the market itselfFind out reson for successmajor points which are absolutely essential:
Premium inventory, required by advertsiers (exclusive deals with networks, wher you are the only one serving PostView ads, low price (hard in the beginning, price depending on spents, later easier, now RTB)
To have a bunch of Advertsiers, who accept Postview tracking, to be able to optimize
Technology state of the ar, able to optimize banners based on conversion rate.
Unfortunately the German market was already satured and it seemed to be difficult to become sucessful. Advertsier already were partnering with big affiliates, which had deals with premium networks.
But what about foreign markets? Would it be possible to start somewhere else?
So we decided to look beyond ones own nose – to other territories! Working with international Affiliate Networks makes it easy to expand. International offices, advertisers in several countries, often international publisher managers.
So Affiliate networks give you the advatage to expand to other countries and to get in contact with many local advertsiers. Just get in contact with account manager , setup a local adspace and apply for recommended programs – and GO for IT
But of course there are also another possibility, which is somtimes necessary – starting an legal entity
In some cases you have to establsih an own legal entity, bacause laws do not allow to deal with foreign companies in some cases or tax issues are making the business unattraktive. But in most cases this is not necessary, especially when you are dealing with EU countries. You just need to get in contact with ad networks to get deals regarding the unsold, remnant inventory.
But which market would be worth to start with?
Where you have a big potential, but not too much competitors. And which KPIs would be impotant to become sucessful?
When I started thinking about new countries you should take these items into consideration:
Market growth rate Online
Internet usage
Credit cards penetration
Population (age, online spendings, …)
Number of competitors
These aspects are essential for beeing succesful in a new marketaspects are the most important:
Market growth rate
Market growth rate
Means growing new jobs, higher personal income, establsihing of a upper mid class, more spendings for personal goods, more people spending money online – In General a very good climate to start with Affiliate campaigns
Kenya 6%
India 5,5%
Nigeria growing almost 5%
Turkey 3,5%
That means that more and more people have more and more moneyand the demand for specific goods is growing massively
Internet usage
If you want to sell products online, you need to know how many people are able to buy them. Only people with internet connection will click on your banners, so it is important that your audience is big enough, because people are able to acces internet
But also important,
How is the connection,
how many people have broadband, …
Are the areas where is just limited acces, …
All importnat to decide for a country or a certain area
In my oppinion the following aspects are the most important:
If you look to these numbers – Europe for example – UK 92%, DE 88%, France 83% Italy 62% - did you expect that Nigeria has 51 %, Turkey 59%
The Average ratio of the Top 20 countries is 49%, so Nigeria and Turkey seem to be a quite interesting countries
As I said - If you want to sell products online, you need to know how many people are able to buy them.
So the ratio of credit card users is quite important to you. People with credit card are able to purchase online
We saw that Turkey has a quite high market growth ratio, high ratio of internet connected users, AND 67% have a credit card!
So Turkey becomes more and more interesting…
http://blogs.ubc.ca/gokulankumarasamy/files/2013/09/GlobalCreditCard-v1.0.png
But also South America and the Sweden is above the average
Population
Age ranges, Income, gender,
Let me use Turkey as example again – 50% of Turkey population is younger than 29, 25 % younger than 15 years –
that means most of the people are used to modern technologies an willing to buy online – So the market will heavily grwo in the next years
Of course ther are other arguments to take into consideration, like
Transportation service for example: If you want to start doing business in Brazil as an advertisers you have to be aware, that it will take up to one week to deliver a parcel to your recipients. If somebody ordered a pair of shoes and they don‘t fit it will talk up to 4 weeks until you get the products – in this time possible the season changed and you cannot sell it anymore. Think about flower delievry service
This for example was a reason for amazon, not to start business in Brazil (because of their 1 day delivery) (they were thinking about bilding a own delivery service
But also the distance, time difference is important. If you are dealing with networks in Brazil you have a small timeframe to communicate during business hours
Political situation – Currently you would not start doing business in Syria or afghanistan
Number of competitors
So you see there are many things to take into consideration when starting in foreign countries.
So in the first step we decided in 2012 to start with….
Italy –
35.5 million internet users and has the 18th place in the world by internet usage.
The internet penetration rate is almost 60%
Volume of the e-commerce market in Italy is 15 billion Euro.
The growth rate of the e-commerce market is 20 percent.
The annual spent money per user online is 1500 Euro
The mobile penetration rate is 51.8 percent.
7 million Italians use credit cards.
other payment systems used are PayPal (13 Mio) and cash-on-delivery.
The popular products and services are vacations, travel tickets, clothing, consumer electronics, media and groceries.
Beside this Italy is in trhe same time zone, you can drive there by car within a couple of hours and it is member of the European union.
And almost no competitors in 2012!!!
First we get in contact with the affiliate networks, in order to convince them working
Personal contact, visit in Milan – TD, ZX
IAB Forum in Milan OM Show
Get in touch with media networks
Focusing on smaller network negotiating the buy of remnant inventory
Dealing with tuttogratis – promised to buy inventory for 5000 Euro a month after one month testing, cpm 0,30 Euro
Premium Sports and News sites
Asking for exclusivity
(after 6 months we agreed on yearly contract with exclusivity, spending 10.000 Euro a month….
ROI positive – From day one the ROI positive – More earning ten spendings
But Inventory has to be paid upfront (new on the market, no trust) and the revnues are coming 3 months later.
Without haveing venture capital you have to calcvulate accurat how much you are able to spend
Another problem – depending on some cahs cows – if they decide to stop, you get in trouble.
So we needed to setup many campaigns in order to find programs which are running ROI positive
Lots of testing
…
You may ask – how ist it possible to manage so many countries - In order to manage so many coutries we hade to change something to stay efficient –So we changed the way of buying
When we started we did the typical classic media buy – talking with an ad network, discussing the prices and volumes, do a booking of certain amount and took al the traffic we got delivered
In 2012 we started with programmatic buying
Using a technology to buy just these impressions you need for each country.
Not one placement fits all – much more specific and easier to handle
The Realtime buying process is one of the most essential things in the past. And essential for the next steps
Because
What was working in te past, is not the business modell for the future.
More and more competitors are joining the market, so you have to reinvent yourself and think about a stretegy for the future
And the future is data driven advertsingTo most important USP you can achieve for your position as a affiliate is the Qunatity and quality of data – User behavior, DRM data, email data, … what ever you can track do it
This will open multiple new business and revenue models!
You are not anymore looking for placements where you ebntually reach your target group. You can know exactly define your target group based on demografics, interest and iIntend data. The user becomes more and more the center of the OM world and the commercialcan be more relevant than ever
regarding to Google think are 52 % Of consumers only wathcing a commercial ehrn this ad is relevant for them!
So customer data becomes more and more important to increase relavncy between commercial and user.
The User will not adapt to your ad, he will just skip it if it is not relevant
So you need to know your prospects, users
Personal data - Age, gender – a 22 year old woman is interested in different things than a 62 year ol!, Income…
What are your user looking for, what are the searching, …
What is the user intend, what do they have in mind? What are their planns
CRM Data, offlin e buying data,
Which step in the saes funnel are tehy? Television buyer – test reports, price comparison, …
How much do the spent online, when´did the buy last time,…
Who click which abnners?
Which products are they looking for
You as a publisher or affiliate are able to track all these information, You ahve multiple advertsiers you get data from, you deliver ads on specific websites and collect user intend data
Do start with data driven advertsing you need a Technology to collect and Manage data, and you need a technology to deliver these data
In the first step you start collecting data from several sources…
Tehn you have to connect these data together while using a key parameter
Then you can start building audince segments – people with certain intend
When you build a cluster you just need to dliver via
In a perfect world you asre using a DMP, an adserver and a DSP
Targeting on people which have been to your shop,
Categroies, products basket, conversion upsell, …
Means people who are not converting at onceyou take by the hand by the hand, show them last seen products, reölated products to ther bays, ….
But – just bringing users back
Predictive Targeting, Prospecting
Concentrating on new user which are more likely to buy, people with have already the intend of buying something. They have something in mind, product, dearching for it in google, visiting websites which are about this issue, discovering simular products from different vendors, …
In opposite to retargeting is prospecting driving new potential revenues to your site.
In opposite to retargeting is prospecting driving new potential revenues to your site.
As said earlier - You as a publisher or affiliate are able to track all these information, You are working with multiple advertsiers, you can track which users a clicking which banners, you see, which users are not reachting on which ones, you get details about website behavior, you deliver ads on specific websites a can track users which see your banner on a specific website, you know about user intend, search data ….
You have the best conditions to start with data driven advertsing to be sucessful.
Just get a proper DSp and start working.
Good luck!
