The guys from Sponsor Chat asked me to answer there surfers questions, I think you guys might find them some use if not... forget this thread
When did you start mensniche
MensNiche has been going for 3 years now, started with our oldest site
www.penis-health.com and in this time it has still remained on of our best sellers. We have also in the last 3 years become one of the (if not the) biggest online penis enlargement networks.
Do pills work?
Ok so the pills are proven to do the following things, increase bloodflow to the penis and intern give harder, thicker penis, increase sperm (like eating nuts) and increase somebody?s sexual desire,
The pills alone will not bring permanent penis enlargement hence why all our products (pills, patches and devices) all come with an exercises program which do bring the gains. We do this not only to cover our own backs, after all we sell ?systems? that have proven results? but we do this to give much better upsell and cross sell opportunities for our surfers and of course our affiliates see this also.
Currently 1/3 people who purchase access to penis-health also then buy our pills.
Generally they all include the same type of stuff yes, different companies sell different amounts ingredients and different number of pills per bottle, but you will find that many of the things in the pills are the same, as far as manufactures there are a few good ones.
would you stay in the pills business for how long and why?
MensNiche will stay in the pill business for as long as there is a profit to be made, I personally believe that it is the same as porn, while there are guys that have penises and want them bigger we will have a job.
Myself however will be looking for other markets to expose and improve, I see myself in 5 years time running lots of businesses and MensNiche will just be on of them.
what is better pills or extenders?
Depends what you want, the extender we promote
www.sizegenetics.com has lots of certificates and many doctors approve the device. This is not the same for all devices and we like to promote the best in order to reduce chargebacks and returns. But saying that we sell both the device and pills together so customers don?t have to make the choice they get both for the same price as people sell the device only.
do you use the products you sell?
Of course, I need to make sure what im selling is the best thing for my business and believe me some of the shit I gets sent I would not sell my worst enemy (well maybe I would) I have tried many different herbal Viagra?s etc that just did not work. I need to be confidant both my customers are going to be happy and buy other products we sell them and affiliates get a good down line.
Is the futute rosy for the online pills industry?
Yes, as long as there are guys and penises there will be some form of penis enlargement, many say that surgery will increase. Even if its not with pills the devices will sell on and demand will just shift to them.
how long do people have to take the pills to see affect?
Depending on the results
www.volumepills.com results are visible within days.
is the natural pills regulated by the FDA?
No, as they are 100% herbal there is no FDA approval needed, however if for some reason this becomes a problem and the pill market dies we will just shift all our resources to the device or natural program.
will you do bulk orders where I cans ell them on my site?
Yes of course email me
[email protected] to get something going
who do you see as your biggest competition
LEC are our biggest competition they own VigRX who have a very strong name.
any new products coming out on your program for 2005
We are always trying to stay in front of the competition and the last 6 months have seen us improving our affiliate program so we now offer so much more than others. All you have to do is visit our affiliate forum to see how happy our affiliates are, as for new products, we have many thing up our sleeves that I don?t really want to say now, however the one thing is certain we will be targeting the gay community a little more in 05.
how long has mensniche been in business and do you have retail sales in stores?
3 years, and yes we work with many local stores one a one to one basis, but 99% of our business is done online.
where is the company head quartered and is that for any leagl reason?
Our company HQ is in Nottingham, England. There is no reason except this is were we live, we do have offices in the USA and Romania.
is shiping out of the country a problem and what do you do for customs?
We ship from the UK and USA. This brings our delivery time down to 3 days for both these countries and under 14 days for the rest of the world.
next. do buyers pay custom duties when they recieve the products in other countries
No they don?t have to pay any fees.
are your customers repeat orders?
We have recently done a survey (which you will get access to if you signup to our program) that suggests that a large number of customers have purchased before yes.
any new promotional material on the horizon?
We do offer more promotional material than ANY other penis enlargement sponsor hands down, we also have a booking system where affiliates can book our designers FREE of charge to make them site templates, custom banners etc. However yes we are always adding new promotional marital and when we get another designer in the offer (early next year) we will have one designer working full time just designing this content.
what would you do if the business collapses with legislation
Personally I don?t think it will happy as the products we promote have proven results just visit our customer forum to see the results?
www.mens-network.com/forum/ these guys sware by it.
But if it did? I would say hell? that was good? now lets take this profit and the team we have built and work in the SMS market for example? there is so much money to be made on the internext and offline I don?t think I will ever be out of a job.
what do you like to see happen to the whole penis pill industry
I would like to see people become more educated about the possible products out there, I would like to see our company continue to grow at the same rate and I would like to see a more professional outlook on the penis enlargement industry. Sadly a few unprofessional companies put the whole industry in a bad light!
what do you do when not working?
My love is for football (soccer) and I play twice per week, I like to go out for a beer, I like to drive my car and I also like spending time with my girlfriend.
what percentage of refunds do you get
Our current percentage is 0.6% but we do offer a refund policy that helps? I suggest that anybody who sells products or services should offer this if you have a chargeback issue.
do you have your own merchant account?
Yes, we actually have 2 And 2 3rd party processors, we use a cascading solution to manage the 4 processors from the same order page and I strongly recommend spending time on billing as we have lost allot of money to it. We currently use Netbilling as our primary they are fantastic, but in the past we used PSW and lost over $400,000 to them! It nearly killed us as we still had to pay our affiliates, and im sure it would have killed some of our competition also.
what are the charge backs like and do you pass it back to the affiliates?
Ok as stated above our chargeback?s are less than 0.6% and yes we do, many people don?t like this but after a long discussion with our affiliates in our forum we all agree that this is the best thing for everyone. If an affiliate is sending quality traffic then they have nothing to worry about.
Call me for lunch. Mensniche is great. I said so
Any time bro? email
[email protected] and we can get something arranged.
need to get more gay content, can you do that for me
Yes our plans for 2005 is to create some guy tours and test them out, we will do a big push on this at internext in Florida and sponsor some gay events etc.
do you have email content?
We don?t actually allow email campaigns but if you hit me up on ICQ or email maybe we can sort something out.
Have you found a difference in conversions with the site layout, color scheme and placement of the various images in certain places?
Of course, all these little things make a difference however we try and work with our affiliates on more important things like content and sales text!
How do people convert so good? Are they unique webmasters or the average conversion ratio is that good?
We do convert very well and that why we can show live conversions, no other program I know of can offer this, if you want more information about how well we convert just ask some of our affiliate
www.mensniche.com/forum
Lot of competition, are you on good terms witht he other big program owners?
We try and get on with ALL our competition and we talk to most of them regularly, sometimes this is hard when your constantly trying to be the first our with new products but again we do try!
do you go to shows and is mensniche going to have a booth at Internext?
Yes we try and go to all the shows if we have time, however the point of a show is to meet new contacts and sometimes we are over worked as it is. This year we are having a booth at internext and we are sponsoring the players ball so yes we are having a big push in Jan. However we will spend the next 6 months after that working on the results found at internext.
