1. How Does The Program Work?
Our model is straightforward and simple. We provide Affiliates and
Merchants a forum to acquire customers. Affiliates access
products and lead programs; then combine them with the most robust
technology platform and marketing/reporting tools available today.
2. Are the product prices customizable?
Yes, we call this SYOP – Set Your Own Price. With Trend Revenue,
the affiliate can choose the web retail sale price they want to sell a
product for. “Set Your Own Price” can be done many different
ways: by percentage; by the actual dollar profit you determine you want
to make, or by product group/type.
3. Is there a cap on the amount of times I can change a price?
No. Trend Revenue makes it as easy as possible for affiliates to adjust selling strategies as often as they like.
4. Can I set my prices to anything I want?
Yes, with one exception. The system will not allow you to set the
prices below the wholesale price of the product, but otherwise you can
set the price to whatever you believe the market dictates.
5. Do you send out reorder emails?
Yes, reorder emails are generated every day to all customers that have
“opted-in” to our continuity program. This logic is available in nearly
every product line we support. It enables our affiliates to earn a
residual income from all customers that participate.
6. Is it true that I can turn shipping into a profit center by adjusting shipping charges?
Yes, you can change shipping rates. Our shopping cart technology and
tools enable you to turn shipping into a profit center.
7. Can you notify me when I get a sale?
Absolutely! For every sale made, you will receive an email notification
informing you of the date, time, amount, and commission dollars owed.
You can also view campaigns/programs you are promoting by logging onto
our system and accessing our superior reporting and tracking tools.
8. When am I paid my Earned Commissions?
Payment cycles run weekly from Saturday 00:00h to Friday 23:59h.
Commissions are paid one week in arrears every Friday. Payments
are made by check, ACH or bank wire—whichever you prefer. Reminder -
each program has its own payout structure, but we perform extensive
research before we launch any new program to make sure our commissions
are the best in their respective industries.
9. Is there a charge for commission wires?
Depending upon the financial institution there may be a nominal fee charged to you by your bank for this service.
10. Is there a minimum amount before I will get paid?
Yes, you will need a minimum commission balance of $25 before we pay commission.
11. Is there any charge to me for using your Affiliate program?
No, that’s the best part: we’ve done all the work for you – just sign
up and once accepted affiliates may immediately start marketing.
12. Do you always ship orders the same day?
If a customer's order is placed before 2 PM EST, it ships the same day.
If the order arrives after 2PM EST, the order ships the following
business day. Order placed over the weekend will be shipped on the
following Monday, (unless that Monday is a holiday).
13. What Shipping Methods do you provide?
Trend Revenue supports multiple carriers along with various priority
shipping methods via: FedEx, UPS, and the United States Postal Service.
Carrier availability is product line dependent.
14. What does Trend Revenue charge for shipping?
Shipping costs are product line dependent. In most cases, shipping
costs are embedded into the wholesale price. But here’s an
important reminder – Trend Revenue is the only affiliate network to
offer shopping cart technology and tools that enable the affiliate to
turn shipping into a profit center.
15. Can I have multiple websites?
Yes, download as many websites as you desire. Try different designs,
set different prices – compete against yourself for traffic – set your
goals to own an entire product line or target a specific product. The
choice is yours.
