Tasks

In 2012, our client asked us to work on creating an automatic affiliate management program. The task was to develop an easy and transparent system that would allow a user to become an affiliate in 3 clicks, and be able to place Globelink Travel Insurance banners on any website that links over to Globelink with a unique affiliate code attached to them.
Besides, affiliates should get access to real-time commission tracking as well as receive their monthly payments via PayPal or Bank Transfer.

Challenge

Thus, our client wanted to provide affiliates with their own administration account that contains banners and textual links to place within any website and all tools for tracking sales including the number of click-throughs and commission earned.

Our goal was to create the following

• Easy to install WordPress plugin for bloggers
• Integrated Wizard for website pages
• System to handle monthly bank transfers or PayPal payment

Solution

We have built Globelink Travel Insurance Affiliate Program – a platform that allows generating traffic, earning money and testing to see what works best.
We have developed a system of commission rates up to 20%, a payment system and designed a set of banners. We have created an affiliate support system along with the feature that would use 90-day cookies as well.
Also, we have developed a unique travel insurance quotation wizard that can be easily integrated into any website page. Being displayed in the frame, allows visitors to stay on the website even after having successfully bought their policies.
The affiliate platform draws the attention of bloggers, insurance consultants, and travel website owners, who would like to become Globelink partners.
