How do I track buyers and communicate with buyers and affiliates?

[tallbloke]

In considering e-junkie, communicating with and track all my leads, prospects and customers as well as affiliates is important to me.



Let's just say I set up a free offer to get people to optin. They are then presented with an upsell with an e-junkie buy-now button on that page. If he buys, how can I match this buyer with his previous optin (to ensure he will be moved from a prospect follow up series to another series)? Is this where integration of e-junkie with a third party autoresponder is required?



Am I correct in assuming that without a proper autoresponder integration a complete and transparent follow-up marketing is not possible?



Taking the above example, can I send my e-junkie affiliates to my squeeze page (where their referrals would optin to get the free offer), and would they still be credited for the upsell?





Thankyou.

If you price a product at 0.00 and provide an Add to Cart button for that product on your site, clicking that button will show a Free Checkout option in the cart. Buyers who proceed to a Free Checkout will be asked to provide their name and email, and optional phone and company, along with an opt-in checkbox if they wish to receive newsletters and updates for that product:

After checkout, they will be directed to a thank-you page, which you can customize with any HTML you wish, such as adding another Add to Cart button to actually purchase another, regular-priced product:

If they chose to opt-in during checkout, their name and email will be added to the Buyer Group list we maintain for whatever product(s) they ordered. You can then send a Newsletter to the Buyer Group for any product(s) you choose:

Thanks for the reply. I actually meant a squeeze page with an optin to my autoresponder leading to a free offer, then an upsell - this process so far being outside of the e-junkie system! I would have a "Buy Now" e-junkie button on the upsell page, which if clicked feeds the lead into the e-junkie system.

My question was if e-junkie provides a way that allows me to relate this buyer to the previous optin (same person), i.e. I would obviously have him as a lead in my autoresponder follow up series, but now that he took the upsell, how can your system feed that information back to my autoresponder to allow him to be moved from a lead stage series to another follow up series?



The second question I had was if I can define my squeeze (optin) page as the e-junkie affiliates' landing page? This would ensure I can build a relationship with my affiliates' referrals.



Thankyou.

Could an E-junkie team member please respond to my two questions above that I feel have still not been answered.



Many thanks.

I think perhaps you may be interested in our generic third-party/custom Integration feature:

You can define any URL you wish as your affiliate Hop Link landing page. You may be interested in this discussion which goes into more detail about how our affiliate system and the various link types actually work:
