UK's leading online people search facility establishes a new affiliate marketing campaign
Tracesmart, the UK's leading online people search facility continues to go from strength to strength despite the economic conditions, as the company sees year on year growth approaching 25%. Tracesmart provides a quick and easy way to search the electoral roll to conduct an address search or people search and thousands of their customers have been able to find relatives or long lost friends using the service.
This week Tracesmart will launch its new affiliate program whereby partners or affiliates will promote the company's service by way of banner advertising on their respective websites and receive commission based on sales attributed to their banner link. The aim is to attract as many websites as possible to sign up to the program to increase the company's brand awareness and drive traffic. It will, in addition, generate income for our affiliate members, as leads are converted into sales.
Matthew Hopkins, Tracesmart's Internet Marketing Executive and Affiliate Manager commented, This affiliate program is an important development for our people search, address search and electoral roll search facilities. This project will help deliver my key objectives over the next twelve months and we are hopeful of witnessing further sales growth from our online people search service."
Hopkins added, "Following exhaustive research, online marketing company, Deal Group Media or 'DGM' were chosen to deliver and administer the project on our behalf. DGM is probably the UK's most experienced affiliate network, specialising in affiliate and search engine marketing. It's important to get the right partnership in place to manage such a key program as this."
The internet has become a far bigger proposition nowadays, becoming a key consumer authority, a means of discovery, research, reference, discussion and help. For many, the internet is now the first port of call for many activities including people searching and genealogy and Tracesmart are proactively tapping into it.
Affiliate marketing has become an essential channel for driving customer growth. As broadband penetration and consumer online spending continues to rise, so does the importance of a successful affiliate program. The online sector is changing dramatically as traditional TV and radio revenue declines. The online medium is taking the lead as a new generation of consumer is emerging, influencing the significance of affiliate marketing.
Owen Roberts, Tracesmart's Communications Manager stated, "We are confident that the affiliate program will significantly add value, to help promote our services, generate brand awareness, and increase traffic to our online people search facility, and ultimately boost sales. It's an exciting period for us at the moment."
