Dulles Marketplace - Affiliate Program

Affiliate Program Details
.

DullesMarketplace.com is proud to announce that we are now offering an affiliate program in which you can begin earning generous recurring commission payments for referring potential clients to our website using a specific code that we will create for you.

We currently offer two different online advertising options...featured business listings and online coupon marketing. Both are subscription plans designed to give local businesses more of an online presence in the area and to be able to reach out to potential and previous customers in new ways. Our website is still relatively new...so all of our current advertising plans are being offered at significantly reduced rates.

Our solutions are subscription-based, meaning we charge a set monthly fee for each of them. Here is a brief description of what we offer:

Featured Business Directory Listings

We have a comprehensive online business directory with thousands of listings. All basic listings are free. Any business can choose to upgrade to 'featured', which means they receive top-of-category placement, a business showcase page, links to their website, and more. See the sales page here.

Online Coupon and Direct Email Program

We have a dedicate page of our website where people can visit to download local coupons. They can also sign up to have them emailed to them on a monthly basis. Local businesses can add their coupons to this page and to this emailing, if they choose. They have three partnership options:

Basic - Allows them to add and update their text-only coupon.
Featured - Allows them to add and update a higher-priority coupon that contains a logo and link.

All partners are included in all monthly email broadcasts. See the sales page for this program here.

How much do I get paid?

We are currently offering our affiliates approximately 40% recurring commissions for any direct referrals for these subscription plans. At our current reduced rates, this means you will earn anywhere from $10-20 per month for every customer that signs up (as long as their account remains active). These payments will continue for 6 months from the date of your last sale. This means that as long as you refer at least one new paying customer in that 6 month period, your account will remain active and ALL payments will continue. If your account is 'idle' for 6 months, all commissions will stop. This feature is designed to reward those affiliates that stay active on our program.

As our site becomes more popular, our rates for new clients will increase as well as commission amounts. But even at the current rates, referring a couple of dozen new clients to our site could quickly add up to almost a $500/month recurring income.

How does it work?

When you join, we will give you a unique 'promotion code' that you can offer to potential clients. When they enter this code on our order page, they will instantly receive 50% off our rates. This not only allows you give them a great value (since it was YOU that gave them the discount), but allows us to easily track the usage of each code. Our direct sales discounts will never be as high as 50%, meaning that potential clients can get a better discount by going through you than they would going directly through us.

This same code will also work for our partner's site, Lazer Promotions. They are a local marketing firm that specializes in hands-off marketing solutions...including email marketing, mobile marketing, website design, management, promotion, and more. Your promotion code will reduce all their rates by 50% and will pay a flat $50 per month in recurring commissions for each client you refer that becomes a paying customer (this is subject to the same '6 month' rule stated above).

How and when do I get paid?

Payments are made via Paypal on the 15th of the following calendar month. Payments will continue for 6 months from the date of your last sale. As long as at least one sale is made every 6 months, payments will continue for every client you referred that remains a paying customer.
