Coffee with Nicky is a video blog with Nicky Senyard, the CEO of Ecom Access. Through her vlog posts, Nicky explores social media, ecommerce, and how to reconcile the internet with business mandates.
From my experience, affiliates come from all walks of life and have all kinds of experience. In this episode of Coffee with Nicky, I discuss why I think it is that this industry attracts such a wide cross-section of individuals.
Almost every affiliate has the potential to make a full-time career out of their online marketing activities. In this episode, I explore what's involved in taking that step from being a part-time to being a full-time affiliate, including experience, the leap of faith, and their passion.
Although affiliates are often used primarily for acquistion, they also have a lot of potential for retaining customers. In this clip, I discuss how merchants can work with affiliates to turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.
The advertising software that powers a merchant's program will also reflect back on their brand. The features and tracking that it offers tell publishers how serious they are about the business relationships they build with them. In this episode, I explore what those features are, and how advertisers can better evaluate and choose an advertising platform.
Affiliates rely on the software that merchants use to track and monitor their revenue. In this video, I discuss exactly what affiliates should should expect from the software that powers the programs they promote
With Twitter having exploded into the mainstream, just about everyone is discussing how to use it toward their marketing goals. But where brands are focused on simply building awareness or managing their PR, affiliates need to focus on actual conversions. In this clip, I discuss exactly what the potential of Twitter is for affiliates, and how they should consider using it toward their marketing goals.
As a social medium, Twitter can be used toward a variety of objectives. And this is no exception for brands. Twitter allows brands to reach out to a targeted market, connect and build relationships with it, and get out their message.
In this episode of Coffee with Nicky, I discuss my experience with and perceptions of social media. I recently signed up for a Twitter account, so I touch upon how that's working for me. I also discuss my experience with Facebook, and how it affect my comfort level with the public/private/professional divide in my life.
So this is a new video blogging format that I'm trying out. We will get into actual issues in future episodes, but this introductory episode simply explains the format, and my own coffee and tea preferences.
