Does anyone have experencie with this? Which affiliate program accepts sex toys as products? And can I download a app on Shopfy to implement the affiliate program?

Hi @BiancaStore,

Here are our tips how I find my qualified affiliates:

1. Using UpPromote Marketplace

-From my experience, you can list your shop information, all offers and commission details on UpPromote Marketplace. The affiliates will find you if your offers are qualified with their needs. Most of the affiliates in my team are from here. The affiliates have an option to filter offers by categories, payment method, commission structure and even lifetime commission, offer format applies to all profiles, so the more information is provided, the more possibility it is that affiliates are interested in yours.

2, Convert customers into your affiliates

In fact, customers are a potential sales channel that helps to promote your brand in a way that traditional marketing cannot. You can go to the app and easily generate a post-purchase popup with your own message to invite people to join your win-win affiliate program. As long as any customer successfully places an order from your shop, a popup will be shown up on the Thank you page  to introduce your affiliate program.

An useful tip for you is that  you can create a separate commission program only for converted customers. With this way, you can manage sales performance from your loyal customers, as well offer specific commission for this group only. In fact, happy customers are more likely to share their experience with positive words, and this is especially true when they can be well rewarded. That is also a great way to keep your customers as loyal customers.

3. Using Multi-level Marketing:

 Multi-level marketing (MLM) allows each affiliate to invite and recruit others into your network. Whenever a downline affiliate successfully brings an order, the upline one gets their extra reward. You can use UpPromote to set up MLM strategy with unlimited distributors. Your products can be delivered effectively to your customers without extra costs for building a customer service team or advertising strategy. 

To easily understand, you can imagine that John is your affiliate and he invites his friend - Michelle to join your ambassador program. As long as Michelle makes any successful orders, Michelle will get a commission from those orders, and John also gets commission because he is upline of Michelle. John understands that the more products Bill can be able to sell, the more money John’ll get. Obviously, this feature not only motivates John to grow your affiliate network but also inspires him to push Michelle to work harder for bringing benefits for both.

4. On social media

You can search on the search bar of those tools with keywords of your niche market, especially, search with hashtags of your business to see who’ve posted about your brand or look up the relevant suggested keywords to find influencers that post about your industry.

On Instagram, when you click to follow an influencer, a list of relevant people will be shown below, you can take them all into consideration.

Besides, do a quick research on your customers to see who their favorite influencers are, who they follow and who they normally come to when having intention to buy an item of your brand.

I hope my recommendation is helpful with you. 

Good luck with your business!

All the bests,
