How Many Joins Is A Bonus Trip For 2 To Australia Worth ?
 

How many joins would you think is reasonable in a 6 months period for a bonus of airfare/accomodation/guided tour to Australia from anywhere in the world for 2 people ?

Visiting the Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast, Sydney and Ayers Rock ?

Say 7-8 days.

:helpme

I'm sure you could strike a deal with David from Anywebcam

you mean in lieu of payout or in addition to payout?

You Do the math. If you the program owner make 3.99 profit per sales of X affiliate, then how many sales to cover that cost?

All exist payout deals remain exactly as they are (volume based higher revshare percentages).. this would be absolutely a 100% bonus.

:thumbsup

I'm the one giving the deal ;-)

And seeing he is only a couple of hours and $100 away by plane, I doubt I would have to send many.

In fact he, Jess and Randall flew themselves up here just before Christmas and kindly took a bunch of us to dinner Anywebcam are a class act.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That would be a great promo, let me know if there is anything that i can do, maybe have some of the Batts World models come to a dinner or something like that.

Sure thing dude - I will be running this promo, just trying to balance maths vs realistic join numbers - hence this post .....

:thumbsup

No problem, just hit me up on icq, when you are ready.

What about a 1 way ticket and a flat in Cairns for 6 months :)

You should be able to determine the amount of joins needed to breakeven at the least on the bonus, asking here is kind of pointless...

No it's not.

A bonus or a prize is only worth what people THINK it is worth to them - it's the basic rule of economics.

I know what I need maths wise, but I want to see what people think it is worth in their minds because it's pointless running a promo that people see no value in.

If people's ideas of a fair number matches my math, then we are good to go.

:thumbsup

Well Said. :thumbsup

It's a great deal for a webmaster from another country! Especially ones who have never been to Australia.

100 joins is a nice, round number -- :)

heh now that would be a nice bonus from a program. You would have to be sending a shitload of joins though.

man. that's such a sweet contest.

Are you thinking about limiting it to just the first 4 affiliates that manage to reach the magic join number?

Maybe do one as an all inclusive (Airfare/hotel/guide) and another one if the person sends maybe half or more of the joins for the all inclusive trip - cover part of the trip - like either air or hotel.

Go for it - I'll fly you up from Wodonga for 100 joins !!

He he

Seriously, 2 airfares incoming international and internal, nice hotels (with internet of course !!) for a week + and a few tour things here and there (Harbor Bridge Climb in Sydney, Ayers Rock Climb, Diving on the reef etc etc) is some serious dollars......

Remembering that this would be 100% ADDITIONAL to your normal take for all sales, what would be fair and realistic number ?

:helpme

Hey Brettski ;-)

Mate, I would see it as being whoever reached the magic number within the alloted time - do not see any reason for restrictions.

I would do it airfares/transport/accomodation for 2 people for a couple of reasons:

1. People have partners

2. Having people pay for the 2nd person actually penalizes them for winning because what they have to pay to bring a 2nd person is not cheap

3. It gives the opportunity for 2 people to "team up" to make the numbers.

That's the way I see it, and as the person who'd be the tour guide, that's the way I'd want it.

:thumbsup

Why thank you kind sir :) Looking forward to doing it again in late(ish) Feb ...

No problem, it's just a statement of fact Jess ;-)

Make it not too late... http://www.costaricabash.com sees me on a plane to get there for the 23rd February ;-)

:) :)

how about structuring it more like pussycash's current promo ... X number of available tickets / joins available which then gets that person a better % chance from a random draw ?

I think it comes down to a personal preference of how generous you feel. That is, what percentage of your profit from that affiliate are you willing to give back to him/her or are you assuming that overall total program join increases will pay for the bonus probably..

To keep it simple let's ignore the best and worst case scenarios..the affilate could hit you hard for six months and drop you the next day or he could keep that volume up for years.

So round numbers...each join is worth an average of $100 to you and the trip costs $10,000 (I am assuming coach class fare as you didn't mention details)

100 joins break even
1000 joins = 10% bonus

so ummm..somewhere in between those two :upsidedow

Ok so I am sure my numbers are off and you really can't ignore the best and worst case as the whole point is to bump up total program joins for six months and hopefully much longer but... I tried :1orglaugh

btw could you phone my Mum in Perth and tell her sorry I haven't called lately, I errr can't dial from the US..sorry couldn't resist throwing that in re that other thread :winkwink:

Hey Randall ;-)

Nah mate, I want this purely performance based - we have other competitions and promos and rewards for all affiliates, this is meant to be designed for the select few.

Not only then will they enjoy a sensational holiday, but bringing bigger players together (anticipating that several qualify) means some serious business can be achieved as well.

A LARGE added benefit, bydesign,. not accident.

:thumbsup

More like 1000 than 100, REMEMBER, we are still paying them full ride on normal terms for the joins, so your math on break even is totally incorrect by definition, but the $10k per cost mark is about right...

And we have look at exactly what you say and assume the affiliate MAY drop us (bad business to plan for the best case) - but if they did keep sending we would likewise reward the following period ... cash even maybe ...

I would see economy fares on airline of their choice which they can upgrade if they like - business class doubles the costs .....

BEAR IN MIND THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THEY WOULD EARN SENDING JOINS TO THE PROGRAM - THEY STILL RECEIVE ALL OF THAT !!!

Doing it this way also means there is no limit on how many can qualify...

:2 cents:

I kept this separate on purpose...

Would you like to talk to your Mum ? She's cooking me eggs at the moment.

Ha ha ha aha ha ha aha ha ha ha

Couldn't resist !!!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sure send me to Hawaii for a week please :)

Bonus plan sounds good. :thumbsup

My Mum can't cook eggs but if you had said Daniela Hantuchova was cooking you breakfast while on a break from the tennis in Melbourne I mighta believed ya :winkwink:

Ha ha ha ah ah aha ha ha ha ha

;-)

We could do that ... how many you think that is worth ?

:winkwink:

Damn I don't know, like 2500 to 5000?
104 sales a week is about 2500 in 6 months..

dude, just chilling with you in australia for a week is prize enough for me :thumbsup

awesome promo idea

I think that would be about right... probably a bit less actually, 24 weeks at something like 70 per week, or 10 a day.

That way it really is not out of reach and the final group would be larger, which would be more fun !

:thumbsup

That would be sensational dude ...

Just you and me and a fleshlight or 2, what more could a man want ?

:thumbsup

i can manage 7 sales per month
so 7

GREAT !!!!

I'll be bringing you and friend down to Australia in about 2847 !!!!

Woo-hoo !!

:321GFY

how many sales to do it in 2007?

Haven't finalized yet, but probably in the vicinity of 6 month period at something like 70 per week, or 10 a day ...

For 2 people... ALL transport and accomodation and some of the touristy things covered .... and a couple of party nights and dinners and shit of course ....

100% OVER AND ABOVE WHAT YOU EARN REVSHARE ON JOINS AND REBILLS FOREVER - INCLUDING IF YOU QUALIFY FOR HIGHER REVSHARE PERCENTAGES.

That sounding fair and reasonable ?

so about 1900 every six months? sounds fair for all those extras. where do i start?

Great promo mate :) your a thinker

Let me nut out final details mate - email me at toyboy @ curiouscash.com and I'll hit you up with the final plan !!

:thumbsup

Phone ? I'll jump in the car and drop her flowers :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I would love to come to your country. Let me know what i need to do to get on that plane!

Mr. Romance

:1orglaugh wow another Perth webmaster!!! a couple more and they will have to put on a seminar there one day :thumbsup

You bet Gerard .... you are welcome at my place anytime anyway, but let's get you on the trip...

Watch this space in a few days when I release full details.

:thumbsup

Sounds like fun, but like someone mentioned already, price it out... figure the cost of the trip and divide by the amount you make per join and the number of joins needed.
WG

And like I've said, have done that, but won't run a promo if the numbers are not considered fair and conditions are not extraneous.

Hence this post.. almost clear in my mind now, so expect something in concrete soon ;-)

:thumbsup

fiddy :upsidedow

That could be interesting.
