The team at Geniuslink is excited to introduce the support for the TigerDirect Affiliate Program! TigerDirect is an online specialty retailer selling electronics and parts for computers. With the TigerDirect + Geniuslink integration, you can build links and earn commissions more effortlessly than ever!

Overview

TigerDirect is a California-based online retailer dealing in electronics, computers, and computer components that cater to businesses and corporate customers. The bulk of the company’s business was based on web and catalog computer electronics sales, where TigerDirect has carved out a niche by placing a heavy emphasis on rebate marketing as a way to offer lower prices. The company also operates retail stores and business-to-business channels. The online company WorldwideRebates.com performs some of its rebate processing and shares common ownership.

There are many reasons to become an affiliate marketer for TigerDirect; they have a dedicated accounts manager capable of handling challenging systems/networking solutions and a solid commitment to Customer Service beyond the products TigerDirect offers.

TigerDirect offers the electronics and parts for computers and is partnered with excellent customer care. The TigerDirect Affiliate Program is a good alternative for those looking to diversify their affiliate portfolio away from using only the Amazon Associates program. TigerDirect has been a well-respected online retailer offering everything you need for small or large business electronics. The affiliate program is a well-established program run through CJ Affiliate, a cost-per-sale marketing network that allows vendors to make money off commissions.

Commission Rates and Cookie Windows

While the base commission percentage of only 3% is slightly lower than Amazon’s 4% in the Electronic Products category, TigerDirect is diverse in its prices, which means you will still be able to earn a solid commission for every purchasing customer you refer!

Additionally, TigerDirect has a significant advantage over Amazon and other competing affiliate programs for these categories in its affiliate cookie window. While Amazon allows a cookie window of just 24 hours, TigerDirect gives a whole 7-day cookie window, which means that you could earn commissions for a customer who purchases a week after clicking on your link! This can lead to more money in your pocket!

TigerDirect + Geniuslink

While the CJ Affiliate network dashboard is one of the more streamlined platforms available for assembling affiliate links, it still can be a bit cumbersome of a process to create an affiliated product link for TigerDirect.

With our newly added support, any raw product link direct from TigerDirect.com can be affiliated quickly using our Geniuslink dashboard. A simple link from TigerDirect.com is all you need to pass clicks along to their destination with your affiliate parameters included.

We call this process “Auto-affiliation,” and it’s very quick to set up. All you need to do is grab your Partner ID from the CJ Affiliate dashboard and drop it into the Affiliate Page of the Geniuslink dashboard under “TigerDirect (CJ Affiliate).” Once we have that seven-digit number, any geni.us links you build for TigerDirect.com products will automatically have your affiliate parameters appended!

 

Please note that our VigLink and Skimlinks support rollout also enables you to monetize TigerDirect.com links through either of these monetization platforms. There are multiple benefits of using VigLink or Skimlinks, but signing up directly through CJ Affiliate and adding your Partner ID into Geniuslink allows you to keep 100% of your commissions earned from the program (vs. the ~ 75% that is paid out when using an affiliate aggregator).

Suppose you are excited to start using Geniuslink with the TigerDirect Affiliate Program! We have a few suggestions to help you diversify your affiliate revenues through augmenting your Amazon affiliate links.

Choice Pages

Curation and Choice are suitable for the consumer and, ultimately, you! Choice Pages enable you to promote a single product across multiple storefronts, and our new suggestions feature makes it easier than ever to build them! Providing options to your customers will improve their shopping experience, and you will monetize the sale no matter which storefront you choose. You can find more info on how to set up a Choice Page in our Knowledge Base.

You can see an example here — https://geni.us/MacAir

 

With a Choice Page, you can promote Amazon and TigerDirect affiliate links side by side in a clean, intuitive way and diversify your affiliate revenue – which from our research helps increase your affiliate earnings! Additionally, to help make creating a Choice Page even more straightforward, our new Suggestions Feature allows you to quickly find products across multiple storefronts, including TigerDirect!

A/B Split Links

The Amazon.com Associates program is often a mainstay way to earn commissions from US-based clicks. However, we’d encourage you to run an experiment if it’s the best option for your audience and recommended products. The A/B Split Test links provide a platform to track between two or more affiliate programs closely.

 

If you wanted to evaluate replacing your Amazon affiliate links with another affiliate program, you could use A/B Split Test link. The test link allows you to compare the performance of Amazon’s Affiliate Program to the TigerDirect Affiliate Program.

Conclusion

With the addition of the TigerDirect Affiliate Program, we have now increased our total affiliate program support to over 30 different affiliate programs! Additionally, with the recent launch of our suggestions feature (which will automatically offer you suggested links to TigerDirect products), we’re more fired up than ever to add additional affiliate programs to our roster, so stay tuned in the coming months. As even more great programs are added in!
