Pay-Per-Call Agenda

The Problem: Shopping Online, Buying Offline Consumers are shopping online, but the majority are buying offline. Advertisers want inbound calls due to higher conversion rates and average sales prices, but affiliates do not want calls going to advertisers because they are not getting credit for them. URL (“click”) tracking does not track offline purchases. OFFLINE MEDIA CONSUMPTION ONLINE SEARCH, REVIEWS, ETC. OFFLINE PURCHASE ~ 42% motivated to begin an online search after viewing ~ 63% of purchases researched online convert offline. ~ 37% of Purchases Convert Online

As a Result, Advertisers Make Significant Concessions to Satisfy Affiliates MAIN LANDING PAGE AFFILIATE LANDING PAGE In most cases, when a prospect calls the merchant’s phone number, the affiliate will not get credit if there is a sale. So when a merchant puts their phone number on the landing page, especially in a prominent location, that can serve to ‘siphon’ legitimate commissions away from the affiliate. – Dan Murray, Ravenwood Marketing, June 2008 issue of FeedFront “ ”
