Referral Rewards Hooks You Up
The title of this blog is literal. Referral Rewards Hooks You Up with PurseHooks! Referral Rewards is a fancy name for Affiliate Marketing. I like the term Referral Rewards better because it’s easier to comprehend and it implies a mutually beneficial relationship. Referral Rewards programs are becoming more popular as businesses and individuals realize it’s an efficient way to generate passive income. Many people are still unfamiliar with what exactly the term Affiliate Marketing or Referral Rewards means.

Affiliate Marketing (Referral Rewards) is an online based marketing strategy where a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Affiliates often use Internet marketing strategies such as SEO, PPC and email marketing to promote the affiliate program. Affiliates are beginning to play a significant role in e-commerce revenues.
If you read my blog often you know I’m not just going to leave you hanging after an explanation of Affiliate Marketing (because most of you reading are Internet Marketing experts and ALREADY know this info). I like to add an element of fun into my posts so going back to my opening paragraph: Referral Rewards Hooks You Up with PurseHooks!
Je’ Marie PurseHook and Accessories is a company founded in San Diego by Rich Shamlian and his two daughters Nichole and Natascha Shamlian. They design and manufacturer the highest quality, strongest and most beautiful Purse Hooks, Handbag Hangers and Purse Accessories to keep your purse safe and clean up off of the dirty floor. All of their products have their own positive message. From working with this family team for the past few years I’m always inspired by the passion they bring to work each day and their desire to always be ahead of the curve in both their products and marketing strategies. They recently created a Referral Rewards program through Web Wizards offering affiliates 10%-20% of sales. I know everyone always asks me where I got my PurseHook. I send them to my personal link to buy a PurseHook from Melodie.
Signing up for the program is simple. Click here for details. And now to the fun part! Featured in this post is Je’Marie’s innovative Fumi. It’s a PurseHook, Purse Charm and Bracelet all in one!

An excellent post about affiliate programs, which I’ve renamed “Referral Rewards” after discussing the term on Twitter a bit, because it seems to make more sense to non-techie people when telling them why they should join my own program to earn commissions for those they send to me for web hosting or development work.
The FUMI along with their other pursehooks and accessories (scarves/charms) are excellent products for an affiliate program, because instead of requiring people that want to sell their products to buy quantities in wholesale lots, they can now benefit from referrals, fashion bloggers doing product reviews, and others that could market their products, but don’t have the time, space, or interest in buying the product first, and having to deal with selling it themselves.
In short, it allows the marketing to happen without getting involved in the sales cycle, of having to buy the product wholesale, take the orders, ship the product, handle customer inquiries, questions, refunds, cancellations, or any of that – the Referral Rewards member can focus on marketing/referring people to quality products, and be rewarded with commissions, all tracked online, integrated in to their e-commerce shopping cart system, with a complete Control Panel of stats for both the one doing the referring, and for themselves to manage all their affiliates, approve and process payment of commissions, mark who has been paid or not, etc.
If you’d like your own Referral Rewards system for your products or services, let me know how I can help. 🙂
