To help TripleClicks compete with our larger competitors you could wear TC branded T-shirts or caps and be willing to talk about TC to anyone who asks about your gear. Have leaflets ready to give with your TripleClicks gateway on it.

You could also give gift certificates to friends and family so they can browse and choose something for themselves.

A couple of days ago I gave my link to the jewellery dept to a family member with a birthday coming up. I asked her to choose something she likes and I will get it for her birthday. Hopefully she may see things she likes that she may like to give her friends and other family members. I intend to do this for all my family's birthdays and or Christmas.

I can browse TripleClicks and find items I think are really great Christmas gift ideas and promote them on my blog and Facebook page.

I have been wondering this also...

Online shopping is definitely the less stressful option when you think about getting out and about with the crowds and the parking, it makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

Do you have a blog? I would start talking about the upcoming holiday season. How are people faring? Have they started their shopping? Are they clever and finished already? Talk about what you are thinking of buying, show some pics of the TripleClicks items that you are considering... All of this can also been done on your Facebook page too...

If it is a pack, that you can see can be split into 2 or 3 gifts for the one price, make sure you point this fact out and definitely share it around as everyone loves a bargain at this time of year.

If you are successful, you will receive the commissions...yay for you, for TripleClicks, the ECA and the person receiving the gifts...

What can we do to help TripleClicks compete with our larger competitors this holiday season?

Well, of course you know the answer to this question is be a loyal customer of TripleClicks and buy all of your gifts from Tripleclicks and their ECAs. You can find the thread in the forum here: https://www.sfimg.com/forum/thread?post_id=352379#post-352379

Secondly, we can share in the the profits because we promote TripleClicks and our ECAs. So the challenge is to start a blog, or make a new post. Create a newsletter promoting TripleClicks and ECAs. We have a lot of collective marketing muscle and more everyday as we get more members and affiliates.

Thirdly, know that we all play a part (no matter how small it seems) so let's fire up those leagues, play some auctions, play some games, and do our daily work and soon we will be the talk of our competition.

In my opinion, this would be an effort on not just the affiliate's part but also on the ECA's.

If ECA's bring the prices down to a level that is very competitive and in the buyers interest, then it becomes a lot easier to attract buyers.

Attractive and accurate description of products are very important, because at the end of the day it is very often the affiliate who advertises the item that gets the first approval or disapproval of the item from the buyer.

If shipping is free it normally makes the price of the item higher, this can easily be explained to prospective buyers.....like for example asking them, if they can buy it cheaper in other sites how much does it cost them for the shipping?.....You will often find that after adding the shipping cost the prices can change quite an amount .

Shipping often takes quite long, this should be explained to buyers that it is beyond your control and that most free shipping sites anyway does take some time.....it is not something that only happens in TripleClicks.....then if items arrive earlier than buyer expected it is a bonus and you have happier customers.

Buying items yourself and then showing others is another way that I find an advantage.
Often people like to see items before purchasing....so if you can invest in personal purchases it helps you and it could become a future conversation point to attract other buyers.

Especially as the holiday season is so close we need to take into account that people will want their items to arrive in time......so it is up to each affiliate to check shipping times and tell buyers to check shipping times.....

Customer service from ECA's and even affiliates can make a big difference..often people will pay a bit more when they find good customer service, than buy cheaper from an ECA with bad customer service....

Hope this has been of some help.

That seems to be the biggest problem most of us are battling with, convince potential members that TripleClicks is better than other online stores.

In my opinion, the most important thing to point out is that TripleClicks is nothing like other online stores and therefore doesn't have any competitors. If you can get this point across, you're winning!

TripleClicks is not only an online store but it is also a bidding site, game center, a second hand store and the musical hub of the future. If you need to give more details to your potential members, please find it on our wonderful SFI website.

Another good argument is that most of the products offered on TC by ECAs are provided by REAl people, like you and me who are trying to make ends meet. It's important we support small businesses like this, they're the backbone of the economy!

Hopefully you'll be successful in signing up some extra members this holiday season! Good luck!

Hello Maurice,
Yes it is the best time of year for us to build Tripleclicks and make it even more popular than it already is.

We can send out invitations for new Tripleclicks customers and Ecommerce Associates (ECAs) using our Gateway links. In addition to this we can give away Gift Cards that will help others save money. Who doesn't need to save money at this time of year?

It is also a good idea for us all to purchase from Tripleclicks. The more we support the current ECAs the more likely we are to see new ones join. This will create a flow of new products and services and that has to be good for all of us!

The other big online competitors spend a lot on their marketing. As SFI affiliates WE are the marketing for Tripleclicks. If we want this business to grow and prosper it is our responsibility to ensure that WE are marketing Tripleclicks. So let's all get out there and start talking about it with our friend, family, followers and leaders.

Wishing you all the best.

TripleClicks has a unique inventory of products and services that are not found with any of the major competitors about whom you may be thinking. From that standpoint, they are not TripleClicks competitors per say. Many of the TripleClicks products are better and target different sets of customers.

The question we are faced is rather one of level of activity, quality of advertising, skills in selling.
It is up to us to take massive action in advertising and prospecting for potential TripleClicks customers, so that the store is as well known as the major competitors.

The major competitors are also using the same affiliate sales force, as TripleClicks, to pitch their products and services to potential customers. In this regard, we are better positioned as we have greater vested interest in the success of our sales efforts. The customers we bring to TripleClicks are our customers for life, which is not the case with those major competitors.

It is up to each one of us as SFI Affiliates to take ownership of the TripleClicks store and make it known to potential customers to the same extent the major competitors are known. This is the job we should be doing at every moment of the year, without limiting it to the holiday season.

We actually would have had better results in the holiday season if we had started earlier, few months backs, advertising for TripleClicks products, building a customer base, exploring the various market niches to which TrpleClicks caters specifically.

However it is not too late to start. But the point is to continue and intensify our efforts even after the holiday season, so that we can build up and hold the momentum, keep selling while aiming at next year's holiday seasons. Doing so will help us be much better prepared.

Promote ECA Sellers holiday products everywhere you can think of. In order a small business to compete with a big business they must be seen. That is how the big business got big, they used marketing service to expose their business to the world to get sales in return. Make sure you read and understand SFI policy on advertising and use their marketing tools and aides..

If you need help with exposing SFI to millions around the world, send me a message.

Best of Wishes

Hi
1. You don't need to compete with any competitors out there in your Tripleclicks business. Why? Because it breaks the law of business which is Creationism and Not Competition In Business.
Competition drains energy and creative ideas with time. In fact, if care is not taken, it can lead to hatred or envy and i believe you don't want that.
Every business enterprise follows a mission statement whether small or big enterprises.
Through these mission statements, every business enterprise has its targeted audience. All we need to do is to concentrate on our mission statement by making the holiday a treat for people. Putting smiles on people is the key. We can all buy something from our Tripleclicks store for our loved ones which can actually create a stir from neighbours to buy too, that way we directly create sales for ourselves as well as PRMs too plus vp and increase in rank. You will realize that without competing with our larger competitors we are actually targeting increase thus increase in sales.
2. If we are ever going to compete, let's compete with our sales target. That way we increase our sales output.
3. We need to strategize on how to cover certain radius of our locality with our products.
4. Advertize our strength alibis. What do i mean? We can offer our Eager games as a recreation exercise during the holiday plus our PB auctions. People will really love a discount on expensive items at this time of the year and can have fun while bidding too.
What is most important is making the holiday of our prospects memorable, interesting and unforgettable.
