I started by browsing through a dozen or so websites that offer software to set up affiliate programs but that search was unsuccessful. Most of them that seemed like a good idea were misleading in someway. One of them only worked if you are selling digital products while another required a verification document that simple security software would not allow to run on my computer because their form was not secure enough.
So eventually I came back to a simple referral program through ReferralCandy which actually seems to be better than I initially thought. My first impression was that I could only give coupons as rewards but when I finally signed up I found I could offer cash rewards. So once I test the programming (hopefully everything is tracked properly) I will be offering $5 paid via Paypal for everyone referral that spends $35 or more at TheWoodGoods.com. Plus when you refer your friend you will be giving them 10% off their purchase.
Some things might change with this program as we move forward but the $5 reward and 10% off will remain the minimums until at least December 31, 2015. There are times where I might run promotions to give a higher reward or give first time customers a bigger percentage off their order.
I hope this news is as exciting for you as it is for me. As long as everything tests fine, the program will be launched early next week.
