Looking for input on how to form our payout structure with products whose gross margin percentages vary wildly.
Paying out a percentage of the gross margin would be simplest, but I could see many affiliates balking at joining such a program with a new company.
We're dealing with digital services/products such as:
$400, ~65% margin.
$250, ~60% margin.
$300, ~10% margin.
$75, ~10% margin.
Rough sketch of the total program, any thoughts welcome. Most factors still flexible:
Affiliate %: ?
Cookie Life: 90 Days
Payouts: Weekly, one month lock period
Minimum Payout: $50
Payouts By: Paypal(Payoneer could be set up on a per-affiliate basis)
Network: None, leaning towards ShareASale at a later date
Conversion Rate: Unknown
Marketing Material: Provided
Notes: Affiliate/customer support, no phone sales, some sort of bonus program, statistics tracking.
Thanks!
