Can I use affiliates to increase product sales?
I have been reading stuff on wf for quite some time now but this is my first time posting .
I wish to launch my own brand/company which would make products like watches, shades, bracelets, wallets, artificial jewelry etc ( accessories for men and women ) and sell them online via an eCommerce website.
Later i would also like to add other products in a different category such as jackets etc.
My approach is to make quality and beautiful looking stuff which normally the big brands sell for a lot of money and a large chunk of the population is not able to buy them.
For eg- you saw a watch on pinterest and you loved it [ it looks amazing, the design is impressive, you would so cool wearing that ], but when you look at the price tag - it is somewhere between 3k - 10k
same goes for a lot of other stuff.
But what if i can provide the same quality, impressive designs for affordable price.
Do you think it will be a good idea to use affiliates to market my products and more so will the affiliates be willing to work with me.
If yes, then what should i do to convince the affiliates to sell/promote my product.
How much commission should i provide.
Also i was thinking about getting in contact with various drop-shippers to sell my product and giving them a good deal on that.
There are so many drop shippers out there , i think i can use their services to increase my sales.
Do you think it is a good strategy
If yes, then how should i go about it.
Where should I look for affiliates and drop shippers and what should I offer them ?
thanks
