New Program, Among the Highest Paying in the
Industry, Gives Referrers a Choice of $20, 20 Credits or 20% Commission Plus 10
Free Credits to Newly Referred Customers
CALGARY, Alberta: November, 2011 — iStockphoto today announced an
aggressive new referral program that rewards participants with their choice of
$20, 20 credits or 20 percent commission on all first-time purchases by
customers they generate. Newly referred iStockers are also awarded 10 free
credits just for setting up an account.
Referrals can then be initiated
through email, links or banner ads that can be easily added to a blog or
website. When a potential customer clicks on a link, email or banner ad and makes
a purchase within 30 days, the referring iStock member is credited with the
referral. The program is open to all iStockphoto members and participation is simple.
iStock is providing several plug-and-play
email templates and banner ads or participants can create their own.
Participants can also promote the program via social sharing links to Facebook,
Twitter and Linkedin found below every iStock image. Any time a participant
shares an image, their referral code is automatically embedded. If the share results
in a new sale, payment is awarded.
“Word of mouth has been a key
driver in the growth of iStock since day one,“ said Nichole Desrosiers, vice
president of marketing for iStockphoto. “It’s also largely responsible for bringing
in new categories of customers and fueling the growth of the industry. This new
program is our way of thanking those people who continue to serve as evangelists
in a meaningful way.”
How
it Works
Customers who have been participating
in the existing referral program simply have to agree to the new terms and
conditions and update their links to continue earning payouts.
The following rules also
apply:
· To qualify as a referrer, a
member must have purchased at least one credit pack or have at least one
approved upload.
· Participants choose a
payout plan at sign up and may switch plans once per month.
· New members must sign up
and make a single purchase of at least 26 credits within 30 days of being
referred in order for the program participant to receive the cash or credit bonus.
· There is no minimum or
maximum credit pack required for the percentage payout option. If a referral
customer buys a 20,000 credit pack (which sells for $19,000) the referring
participant gets $3,800.
· 10 free credits are given
to referrals upon sign up. This offer is good for 30 days and these credits
will be extended if a purchase is made.
