Why do i have the feeling roughly 80% of your sales are dissapearing :1orglaugh

Busted!..

i just checked again...
0:3592 :(:(

wow, great promo thread for fleshlight :helpme

btw im 0:2089 since nats switch

We advertised them for more than 4 years before NATS; had to drop most of the links because conversion went to shit.. It's very sad :(

bump for fleshlight

0:1779 so far this month....time to switch them out I believe since other sex toy type products or shops do better than 1:100 on the same traffic.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :Oh crap

No reply from Fleshlight? Wow. You'd think they be in here in a hurry

another bump for fleshlight

1:263 overall ;)

I am pretty happy with them, as I don't promote them too much!

They are figuring out how to come with an excuse for this which is gonna be really hard other than "we fucked up".

Stats are fine. Do you really expect sales to stay where they are at? It's not like people buy more and more fleshlights each month. There is nothing new about fleshlights. People who sign up for porn sites will probably always sign up for them. If something new comes out and looks good, they will join. People who buy fleshlights don't buy more. It's a one time thing. Once the market gets satuarated, that's that.:2 cents:

On the other hand, I'm 1:3 today so...

And people sign up for the same porn site everytime??

No, but they bounce around. It's not uncommon for people to leave a site and rejoin. It's also a much bigger market.

More people will join a porn site than will have sex with a flashlight. Maybe the majority of the people who like fleshlights already have them.

Yeah whatever...anyway you can seriously read this thread and say nothing seems wrong??

sure, everything is fine: The fact we went from 1-2 sales a day, to 0 sales for more then two months now, and it changed the EXACT day they got nats - thats just coincidence. sure, I was wrong - nothing to see here :helpme :1orglaugh

and STILL no reply from fleshlight

Are you really trying to say that out of the millions and millions of people surfing for porn and sex toys, that they've already completely saturated the market? I mean dildos and sex toys have been around forever and still seem to sell. Are you telling me that fleshlight has done what no other sex toy in the world has ever done; completely saturate the market and sell to every person willing to buy the product?

I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in here.

Yes, there were problems with the Fleshlight Integration when they first migrated to NATS. Those issues were never denied and have been fixed for some time now. I am not familiar first hand with their ratios but from speaking with CT overall the program is doing well.

To those who feel something is not being done right or still broken why not try buying one yourself and making sure the sale posts. If you find otherwise please let myself and/or CT know so we can immediately find out why. There is always room for problems however rambling on and screaming about them rather than offering some constructive help doesn't solve anyone's problem.

If you have any input or any specific issues you have seen please contact us. We all (TMM and Fleshlight) want everyone to get what they deserve and profit from their program.

Mines are doing fine

1634 1529 2 1:764

My sales are doing fine, thank you. And contrary to what's being said above, there are *lots* of repeat sales, so I get the same customer again and again and again, very nice :)

The stats are a work in progress. They could be better, sure, but theyre already a lot better than they used to be under the older program

I think people need to stop comparing ratios to their porn traffic.

First, Fleshlight is not a instant gratification buy. If you put it in front of surfers looking for instant gratification, you'll fail miserably. To throw a banner ad up on your blog or TGP and expect it to convert and bring in as much money as an instant gratification porn site is just plain silly. It's a different type of traffic that you're looking for.

With that said, Fleshlight should be used with specific traffic. Traffic that involves ordering things such as DVDs, sex toys, and so on are great. I'm sure it does well in members sections of paysites as upsells. It also probably does well in newsletters.

But picture your average surfer. He's got his dick out, he's looking at porn videos, and you think he's going to stop, pull out his credit card, and order a sex toy that will arrive in a week or two? I don't think it's Fleshlight or NATS that is the problem, it's people trying to market a product like that to their instant gratification audience (note that Fleshlight has marketed themselves as a product that can sell to that type of audience and should get some of the blame).

You obiously don't know much about internet marketing and how many new people are on the internet each day.

pre-nats I did great after nats...well... 1:3335

Wow, I am actually pretty shocked to hear these complaints. We are currently running a site wide (including affiliates) 1:277 for the last 30 days. I was under the impression that all of the initial integration issues have been addressed and resolved. While we try to stay as active as we can in monitoring our affiliate traffic, it is nearly impossible to know every issue an affiliate may be having.

Before NATS was implemented, our cookie system was much different. We had lifetime LOCKED cookies, which was mostly beneficial to affiliates with large traffic, SEO listings... and even junk traffic could be highly profitable at that time. I know I have had personal conversations with a couple of you that posted in this thread, and we have discussed this issue in depth explaining why your ratios have dropped.

To address the product saturation issue, I would like to point out that while Fleshlight is a highly brand able name... we are nowhere NEAR product/market saturation. As with any other product/site, if you are not acquiring new customers on a consistent basis, then you would be stuck trying to sell the same product to the same customer.

There are many reasons why people buy Fleshlights, and I know for a fact that not every person settles with just one. The very reason our product was invented was out of necessity. (high-risk pregnancy)
The following scenarios are examples of what drives us to expand on a daily basis:

Guys think about sex ALL day
Traveling businessmen need a ?mistress? for the road
Guys turn 18 everyday.
Guys break break-up with their girlfriend/wife/partner everyday.
Guys see the internet for the first time everyday.
Guys go away to the military/college everyday.
Guys get rejected everyday (2am booty calls are not always successful).
Couples look to spice things up everyday.
Long-distance relationships lead to alternative measures.
Guys realize their hand is getting boring everyday.
The cost of hookers adds up after a while.
Fleshlight customers find a reason to add a different Fleshlight to their collection ? everyday

Then there is the Fleshlight customer who uses it, loves it, but because of the opposite for one of the above listed reasons, says goodbye to his Fleshlight. We know that if/when one of the above listed reasons re-occurs, he WILL be back. We strive to make the best, high quality product, and our customers make it a point to let us know.

I have no way of knowing there is a problem unless it is brought to my attention.
Josh does his best to stay on top of the questions on the forums as well as spends a lot of one-on-one time with affiliates to get them everything they need to help increase sales. If you feel that there is some sort of tracking problem, we would be more than happy to show you how to place a test order.

So if there is anyone that is having problems with Fleshlight whatsoever... please let us know and we will do our best to try and resolve the issue.

Ha riiiiight.

By that same logic, porn sites shouldn't become saturated either.

But they do.

But what is the breakdown for different types of traffic. I'm sure your site probably converts under 1:100 on sex toy traffic. I'd guess it does even better on male sex toy traffic. It probably converts very well in members areas too.

But what's the conversion ratio on TGP traffic? Blog traffic? etc. I'm guessing that most of the people complaining have that kind of traffic.

First of all, you are generalizing.

Second of all, if you actually read these threads... most are comparing pre-Nats to present-Nats... not FL sales ratios to porn sales ratios.

Third of all... I'm not kicking and screaming.. like most here, if it doesn't convert, I move on. There's many more products to upsell :upsidedow

I apologize, I didn't see how many people had a difference in pre-NATS to post-NATS. Still, I think people have been complaining about Fleshlight ratios for a long time now (well before NATS). It could also have to do with them raising the prices on an already expensive product. Increasing your price by 20% isn't a small thing. I wonder how the ratio would be if the product was $30.

And lastly, you're right. Plenty of other products on the market to sell. :thumbsup

my ratio before NATS= 1:120 --after 0:5XXX

they are right about the dvd and toy sales. In my members area 1/3 of members have one, I also have a page that offers 3 free dvd's if they get one and everytime someone has bought one and they email me for their 3 free dvd's it shows up in my stats. I never used them before nats and i don't see how it can get any better.

Until I went looking for alternatives, I didn't realize how "expensive" it really was. There are a lot of (probably inferior) similar products in the $20-$30 range so you could be right about the price thing.

Not to mention that most sex toy sites are selling it at $49.95.

well..
i use to be very upset on thouse guys from fleshlight ..becouse they screwed the hole deal when they moved to nots..even if they dont accept this..i had couple of topics back then..wedougles if i'm not making a mistake, you use to complain back then about the same shitty conversion rates..and not just one time..in fact i remember that you kept the first topics for some time..
http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=...ght=fleshlight
..what happen in the mean time? i'm pretty sure that rates are not got better..becouse i can see in my stats...what else has changed?maybe i'll change my opinion if i become intresting enough for them..lets see..hihihi.
i use to make before nats 4-6000USD/month and now since they moved to nats i dont even make 1000USD/month...conversion is 1:346..i have only SEO traffic..and they know this..the fact is that sales are still comming..just that are not counted in my account..SEO traffic didnt changed becouse they switched to NATS...now they put the sales by hand in the panel..meaning that you get your commision if a sales IS counted in your account..offcourse that they will tell that evedry sale is counted..i made 3-4 test orders..3 didnt appeared..only 1 ..when i asked about this they said that is strange and they will look in to see what the problem is..after that i got some replay about cookies problems and shit and shit and shit..blablabla..fact is that i still have sales of 1000USD/month and my traffic is the same like it use to be..
about this fact they dont give any explications other then what you can see already on forum..that everything is ok and working fine..LOLOL..

Hello wake up everybody, they are shaving you like crazy!!

How much more obvious do you want it? Jesus!

Why would anybody send them 1 more hit? Thats just extremely retarded.


"i made 3-4 test orders..3 didnt appeared..only 1 "

Hahaha

Last two months haven't been good for fleshlight, before that they converted fine. I'm not happy about the commission cut. 18$ for selling a fleshlight isn't a lot of money. Turn that into euros and it will almost not be worth it to promote them. Fleshlight ain't a bad product and it still converts for me, not great but all little bits help. Saturation palmed in the market place. Every person who looks at online porn heard about the fleshlight so I don't see sales improve again for this product. It's just something to sell on the side.

You talk like Ali G :1orglaugh

neah..nobody is retarted..just that is an old problem and nobody cares anymore..
and some people just cant do anything about it..like me for example..becous ei put a lot of monye in this, i bought a LOT of domains fleshlight related, and i mean a lot - like 230 domains - and put them online..lot of designs and texts and etc..so at this moment i hope that maybe i'll take some money back at least becouse i cant do anything else with that traffic at this moment..and they know this very well..so doesnt matter how much im winning around, my conversion will remain the same..
so at this moment i dont even care to much about this..i dont even want it to write at this topic if i should didnt see wedougles posts whos a very big fan now of fleshlight..and i remember very well, and oyu can see from that topic that i posted taht he was a very big enemy of them..what made him to change his mind??!! this is what is scares me the most..and i'm really affraid to answer to this question.
this guy was for 2 months the biggest enemy of them and nw is the biggest fun^friend of flesh,light guys..and before anyone from Fleshlight crew to even replay to this topic he felt that is his duty to stand up for fleshlight..LOL..is funny..
I REALLY WANT TO CHANGE MY OPINION IN THIS WAY!!! I WANT TO BE THE BIGGEST FUN OF FLESHLIGHTCASH!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE ME TO CHANGE MY OPPINION..
let me put you one question..if you guys will ever find out a gold mine you';ll come and tell me about it so i can go and take some gold for myself too, right?
funny indeed..
