Which is best?

Both!

When I first joined Tripleclicks I was given a Referral Link. I was instructed by SFI to promote that link immediately. This is the link to the entire store. So this is your first portion of the question answered.

Individual TripleClicks products are also acceptable links for those who find certain products will suit the tastes, needs, and desires of the customer targeted. There are also products that are very popular online, and may be purchased cheaper on TripleClicks than from other online stores due to lower cost in shipping fees, or no shipping fees charged at all.

In such cases where we know there is specific value added to the product or service it is more likely we will single out those selective choices to share with our customers or viewing audiences.

Many other considerations must be examined. Culture, demographics, geographic locations will change our selection. In this case we will want to advertise the TripleClicks store and allow the customer to make certain selections and shop as they desire.

A specific product known to be popular among masses of viewers in our audiences no matter what region will be much easier to promote singularly.

In saying all of this, it depends on the products, and the customers we wish to reach.

Thank you for allowing me to share!

When choosing between advertising individual TripleClicks (TC) products and the entire TripleClicks store, you need to find out what works best for you. What works best for you doesn’t necessarily mean it works for everyone. You really need to know the pros and cons between the two.

1. Advertising with individual TripleClicks product/service:

Advertising individual TC products/services will allow you to hone the finer details of your main offering and target your market. It also allows you to focus in your marketing tactics, in picking the highest quality channels and in sourcing traffic that quickly converts into repeat customers.

Instead of trying to please everyone who visits your site by offering a large range of products with minimal detail about each one, if you offer just one TC product/service--or one set of related products--you can really focus on one key set of benefits and answer all the possible questions and doubts your visitors might have about your product. The key is you’re offering information and solutions to their needs with razor-sharp focus on individual TC products/services targeting one type of consumer.

2. Advertising the entire TripleClicks store:

If you choose to advertise the entire TC store, you won’t be able to focus on each individual TC products/services. How do you identify your target market?

You can try mentioning in your ads the TC products/services by categories i.e. Antiques & Collectibles to Travel and see how it works. The bottom line is, testing is the only way to discover what works--and what doesn't.

To attract your prospects/visitors, you can feature in your ads the “Deal of the Day”, Closeouts, Hot Deals, etc. In placing your ads, you’ll need to target people who are always searching for hot deals or are bargain hunters.

You can try both ways and then choose the best for you.

Hi, Balau Carmen.

Tripleclicks give us the ability to do both.

And that is my preference as well as my approach.

We should not let ourselves be caught in a mentality that will be limiting our possibilities and our potential for success.

It is worthwhile to advertise the whole Tripleclicks store using our specific gateways.

http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxxx

Each of the major Tripleclicks departments has it own gateway.

When we do so, we are targeting the wide online retail market with an extremely large market and potential customer base.

We also will be well advised to promote specific Tripleclicks products through niche marketing

For example the "Pricebenders" auctions are a sous-category of the Tripleclicks store.

http://www.tripleclicks.com/xxxxxxxx/pbgw

In the same way, health products, fitness, metals (gold and silver) can and should be advertised separately because of the large market niches that cater to their demand.

We can use the Silver Gateway in the Gold and Silver market market niches to that end.

I would not recommend advertising the entire store but at the same time I would not limit myself to individual products. I would promote categories of products, auctions, games and contests.

By advertising for example a particular pair of earrings, straight away you have narrowed down your possible market to only those who are on the market for or have an interest in earrings. I have no interest in earrings so I would not even look at that ad. I would however have a look at an ad on jewelleries as I have a general interest there.

TIP 1: Where possible promote categories giving a particular product (which you in fact want to sell) as example.

TIP 2: Promote those products with Free Shipping and 4+ stars rating. Research have confirmed online shoppers preference for these.

TripleClicks will naturally be promoted through these ads. If you just promote the entire store without pointing to any particular product or category that would arouse the readers interest, it would be just a waste of time and money.

Generally you may need to do both or any depending on the circumstances, like your target audience and the type of product.

Discovering a niche market could be a very good reason to market individual products to specifically target that market because you know the characteristic of the niche. This therefore means you need to develop a marketing strategy on how to effectively promote the specific products you want to reach this market.

Another benefit of advertising individual products is to take advantage of retail marketing and in the process you become an expert in the products you promote which is necessary for a successful marketing campaign. You see, you have some good control over this process in this regard, so you may elect to promote potential CASH COWS.

Since the world has been reduced to a global village by the internet, you may elect to advertise the entire TC but the effectiveness of it may depend on your style. One benefit here is that you may not know the preferences of of potential customers so you are giving them a wide range of options across all departments to shop for their needs just like we do at Amazon and EBay.

Another benefit of advertising the entire TC store is the possibility of multiple purchases because of the various choices available. It is therefore like taking advantage of a department store where you go for a product but end up buying more.


As you can see, both have merits depending on your interest and strengths, personally, I love promoting individual products where I can develop some potential skills on product features, market characteristics, advertising and promotion strategies.

Hello Balau

Both are equally good. The method of advertising will decide what can you advertise. For example if you are using a blog or website, it is advisable to advertise all products at a time. Because there is enough space on your blog or website to do so.

But if you are advertising through safelists or traffic exchanges, advertising single TripleClicks product would be more suitable. Also depends upon the product itself for example protein products can be sold to men and beauty related products can be sold to women.

Also when you advertise a Price Bender Auction, you have no choice other than that single product for which aution is going on. Similarly when you promote a ECA who is selling shoes you are basically adverising a single product

If you are using Search Engines to advertise your Blog/Website, it is but natural you will be advertising all the products of SFI as well as of TripleClicks simultaneously.
Hope it helps

Cheers !!

Dear Bulau,

By advertising individual TripleClicks product, you have these advantages:

a. You work based on focus. You focus on a single product or service. With a limited amount of time you have, it’s enough for you to learn about all aspects of just one product.
b. You may become a master of it. You may have ample time to vary your advertising methods on just that product. I think it’s more worthy of effort if you can execute really good on your niche.
c. You can focus on solving a specific customer’s problem. Think about your targeted customers and create your unique selling proposition.

By advertising an entire TripleClicks store,

a. you can be all things to people. It means you will try to do things that will please everyone. Can you do that?
b. you a attract general audience who does not have a focus on buying a certain product. Which means you get customers with unspecific intention. Just like window shoppers who look around, browse through some items, and possibly make a purchase if something catches their attention.

Make your own choice because both have certain good sides. But for me, I prefer doing advertising on individual product. Do intensive ads on individual products while not forgetting at all the entire store.

You should target at being a BIG fish in a small pond instead of being a BIG fish in an ocean.

Promote TripleClicks by using your TripelClicks Gateway by all means;this goes without saying. You have your own gateway for this.

You can also promote either individual products or an entire ECA store. It depends on the market you are trying to reach and whether you want to sell a variety of the same type of products or whether you want to sell only a few products in a niche market.

If an ECA store has lots of items in stock and they are of the same category, example, they are all electronics you may want to promote that entire ECA store. This is especially so if the price is right and you just want to sell electronics.

If you want to sell exercise & fitness products and there isn't an ECA with a lot of these items in stock but there are several exercise & fitness products at SFI, you may want to sell individual items from different ECA's.

You may want to sell only one or two individual products that you believe in, products that you have used and you are willing to write about.

TripleClicks is a large department store with a lot going on, so sell individual products for niche marketing.

Hi, Bulau,
Good Question!
This is a two-way question; and my best approach to it will be to give you the advantages of each method that you intend to use.

1. Certain Triple Clicks products are very unique on their own; and you can advertise them directly to earn patronage & sales. The truth is that, while someone is specifically interested to buy your advertised product, he/she can have the benefit of seeing the entire TripleClicks Store, browse through them and pick other products of interest to him or her. so, bu just advertising one TC product, you have opened door to series of advantages to earn from other products on display in the store. So, this is good for you!

2. If, on the other hand, you choose to advertise the entire TC Store, you have presented a wide range of opportunities to the buyer; and he/she can buy as many products as he/she wishes. So, you still earn from all the purchases! This is good also.

So, if you look at the two scenarios presented above, indeed, you can earn from both methods when advertising. If I were you, I would adopt the two methods concurrently - i.e. advertise specific products and at the same time, advertise the entire TC Store.

Both will be remunerative; but if you want to know which particular method is better than the other, it will largely depend on the RETURNS you gain from each of the methods adopted. This means that, you need to keep a TRACK RECORD of the sales from each method to enable you know the best. But in the interim both methods are EXCELLENT.

Hope this attempts to address your concerns.

I would suggest both!

This will mean that you prepare a few approaches/plans that advertise individual products from TripleClicks and the entire store.

When you advertise both ways you are basically going to connect with 2 types of shoppers - those who wish to purchase 1 item that he/she needs and not be bothered to pursue anymore shopping and those who enjoy shopping the whole store to see what is offered and possibly consider what else the store has to offer.

Simply this means you introduce through your marketing/advertising specific products to a target audience meanwhile you have other advertising that showcases an on-line store that has over 2 million shoppers.

Advertise to many and see your business grow!
