Affiliate Managers: Tip To Get Affiliates Attention

Being an affiliate manager can be a tough job I assume. It’s easy for us affiliates to get sick of the never ending pitches, the next hot offer, etc.

I am an affiliate for just about every major affiliate network out there. From AzoogleAds (<3) to EWA to Copeac to... I get so many mass email newsletters every week that I generally don't look at any of them except a few.

I've noticed that the type of emails that I reply to or look at are the ones that are personalized and are not asking me "what are you running?"

You know, the emails that are directed towards me and you can tell because there is something personalized in it like "hey... nice blog post the other day..." and offers some sort of value like "check out this offer, it's doing really well..."

I know that emailing affiliates individually could take a while but if there was an email system that you could use to insert some personalized text in front of a mass email, I bet the amount of affiliate attention and participation would go way up.

Just a thought for those of you with an in-house system.

The people who are exceptional at doing this so far from what I have seen are Elite Clicks Media and Eric from Clickbooth. EWA also always has really great newsletters. I know there are more, but those are the two that come to mind right away.
