With the help of the following pointers, an affiliate can prepare a marketing plan that can bring sales immediately.

Understand the Consumer’s Need: Understanding the needs of the customer helps in identifying what they actually need from a seller. If we know what is expected to be bought off the shelves most easily, we would be making the most from the market. To do so, we need to understand the market that we are going to sell to. We will have to look at what is it that people need the most in a specific category in that market. We may want to sell shoes to the customer, but the market demand at that time might be for men’s health products. So if we go on with our strategy of selling shoes, we in all certainty would lose on time and money. But after researching the market if we decide to sell men’s health products, we would be getting richer by the day.

Identify the Products: After finalizing the markets to sell to, we need to identify the products that would best describe a solution for the needs of the customer. It may be a product or a group of products depending on the needs. The product should be the nearest possible solution to the customer’s woes, if not the one.

Identify the Marketing Strategy: Once the markets and the products have been identified, we should formulate the marketing strategy for the products in those markets. These strategies may differ from each other based on the markets, products, channels of communications available and the scope of marketing collaterals in the strategy. The marketing strategy may vary from being just a sales communication to being a full blown marketing exercise with campaigns and promotions.

Identify the Channel: There may be many channels of communication available to an affiliate. But the sales depend on how efficiently the affiliate chooses the channel and the communication. The most common channels available to an affiliate are:
