Halloween Contact Lenses Now Here

Bob Drumm — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:48:28 +0000

AC Lens has made the biggest change to our product selection in nearly a decade with the addition of halloween contacts. Affiliates can now earn big money selling these highly desirable items to their visitors. A few things to know about these products:

Prescription is required. Do not promote these contacts as non-prescription as it is illegal to sell contact lenses without an RX. It is also illegal to advertise contact lenses as non-prescription.
Expect a higher reversal rate than normal. Our initial estimates could be as high as 60% reversal rates for those ordering without a prescription.
Expect a lower conversion rate and EPC in this department. Special Effects contact lenses are a high browse, no buy item so you will see a much higher visit total with lower total orders.
Commission rate and cookie duration is the same on these products.

Now that we have business out of the way. We now carry Halloween Contact Lenses and these lenses are sure to be a hit this season and throughout the year as we also carry several cosmetic and novelty contact lenses for year round use.

Be sure to feature the department on your halloween websites, promote them in your forums and blogs for the holiday season, and definitely email your lists telling everyone how to get a prescription whether they need vision correction or not.

Even if someone has perfect vision, all they need to do is see their eye doctor to get fitted for contacts and they’ll be prescribed “plano” or “0.00″ correction contact lenses. Once they have their RX, they can order all the halloween lenses they desire.

Banners and products feeds are already uploaded in CJ and ShareASale. Expect a big push as we get closer to the holiday season. Feel free to contact me at bdrumm (at) aclens.com if you have any questions.

Item Based Tracking Stats

Bob Drumm — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:42:35 +0000

Well we’ve had nearly two months of item-based tracking in place on Commission Junction. Not surprsingly, Acuvue Oasys is the clear winner in contact lens sales as it should be, being the #1 prescribed contact lens.

There are quite a few surprises though. For instance, the Boilable Screw-Top Lens Case has been one of our top 10 items sold. At $1.50 I don’t see affiliates rushing out to add this to their site but it could be a good add on product, especially if ordered in bulk.

With our wide range of sunglasses, it’s also surprising to see Ray-Ban sunglasses as the clear leader in sales by manufacturer. I thought the sunglasses department would be fairly close across several different manufacturers.

I’d love to hear individual affiliates thoughts on their product sales pattern through the first couple months of item-based tracking. Comment here or drop me an email at affiliates@aclens.com.
