I've been quietly running an Advertiser Loyalty Program since mid January for folks who advertise with me at Entrecard. I originally introduced it at Ask Me Why... Work From Home with this post.
Within the past 24 hours, Entrecard has stepped up and completely changed the way advertising is "costed". Now, before you think the worst... let me say, I'm incredibly excited about the possibilities.
That is why I am now actively promoting my Advertiser's Loyalty Program.
In a nutshell, when you choose to advertise on one of my blogs, I open a tracking sheet. I also enter you into a drawing where I award 200 EC. I do the drawings based on how much I receive in "EC advertising revenue".
When you return and purchase repeat advertising, I refund 10% of your purchase cost after your ad has run.
Since January, I've received 3319 EC and have given away 800 in four separate drawings. I've also returned 210 EC to 51 different advertisers.
Social Networking Rocks has earned a permanent spot in my BlogRolls as a result of advertising 10 times.
Now, why am I so excited?
Well, first off, you determine the price of the ad by choosing whether or not you believe the ad value is a good deal. If you think it's over-priced, don't buy an ad. Wait for a day or two, and the price may go down.
Now, with the higher prices, there'll be more drawings. After all, I reserve 25% of the revenue I get for the drawing pool, and I do a drawing every time a accumulate 200 EC. The drawing is across all the advertisers from Day 1 (except for previous winning entries), so the more you advertise, the more chances you have to win.
Because I give you back 10% of your ad cost, your EC will still go 10% further with me than with other advertisers.
Now, the real biggie... Because the cost of advertising is no longer dependent upon card-dropping, I'll have more time to keep the blogs updated and work harder to get more traffic for you. All in all, that's a really good deal for all of us.
Now, here's a little link love...
