Affiliate FAQ (Click question for answer)
- Q. How do I best sell these boats?
-
A. It's better to do the pre-sell on your site - and send the customer
to SeaEagle.com to make the sale. It's hard to make people part with hundreds of
dollars in just a page. Avoid "buy it now" or "add to cart" product links - the
customer is just not ready to buy after reading a small paragraph and seeing a tiny
picture. "learn more.."
or "more info.."
are better accompanyments to a product link. What you want to do is excite the
customer with an intriguing presentation, not try to knock 'em dead
with a hard sell on one page. Set your cookies, excite the customer and the orders
will follow.

A. Sometimes quite a few visits. Boats and kayaks are not an impulse
buy, but a "considered buy" - one that requires some time to think about. As the
table on the left shows, most people don't buy a boat on their first visit. Our
120 day cookie duration means that you'll earn income on sales
that were generated long after the customer has left your site. Don't get discouraged
if you don't have a sale right away; if you're setting cookies and arousing interest
the sales will come.

A. Usually one big order . Our boats last for many years, and our
boat packages contain most accessories that our customers want. Occasionally a customer
will want an extra paddle or electric pump, but 88% of our sales are on the first
order.
- Q. Why are some boats more expensive than others?
-

Reinforced Hull Material
A. Our Sport Runabouts, Explorer Kayaks , and
Paddleski series are made with a reinforced 1000 denier hull material,
which is composed of an inner base cloth and outer PVC coatings. This composite
construction gets the best out of both materials - the tensile strength of the base
cloth and the airtightness of the PVC. These boats can take 3.2 PSI and are much
firmer to the touch than nonreinforced boats, and this hull strength allows for
large outboard motors for the transom boats. These are higher end items, but their
appeal is not limited to boating nuts.

PVC Welding process
Our SE-330 and Motormount Fishing Boats are made of a solid PVC material,
which holds a lighter pressure of .75 PSI. This lower pressure is fine for their
intended use as these boats do not take large motors and are not meant for extreme
whitewater. The continuous material allows these boats to be high-frequency welded,
a process that is highly automated and efficient. These products are much more affordable
and better suited to general audiences.
- Q. Can I sell these products year round?
-
A. SeaEagle.com sales are surprisingly balanced throughout the year. While the April-July
period is very strong for sales, we have very good Christmas sales in December,
and our Fall Sale prices attract a lot of "indian summer" boaters.
- Q. Do you have a datafeed?
-
A. Yes. You can contact Ryan at ryan@seaeagle.com
for the link.
- Q. What is your trademark policy?
-
Sea Eagle spends about $500,000 per year in print & radio ads, which sends a
lot of people looking for the term "Sea Eagle" on search engines. Needless to say,
we cannot afford to pay affiliates to intercept traffic that originated in this
expensive ad campaign. For this reason we require affiliates to insert "sea eagle",
"sea eagle.com" and "seaeagle" as negative match keywords in any
CPC buy. This will block any affiliate CPC buys from appearing on trademark
searches.The registration of any domain names containing our trademark
is strictly forbidden.
- Q. What about other CPC buys?
-
As long as you don't outbid our own listings, don't buy our product names, and negative match our trademarks, CPC buys are fair game.
- Q. Are my commission earnings safe?
-
A. Absolutely. SeaEagle.com does not work with any publishers using
browser plugins that might steal your commission. Incredible as this sounds, many
affiliate programs permit this activity. Not SeaEagle.com.
- Q. Why are my transactions extended?
-
A. Transactions are extended to allow time for our 30 day on water trial. We will
accept or reverse transactions the following month after the purchase date. By CJ
standards, we cannot reverse a transaction once it is in locked status. This means
if a customer returns the boat, credit card is invalid or stolen, after we accepted
the transaction I cannot have that reversed. We will only reverse a transaction
if the boat was returned, fraudulent order, or we cannot get a valid card from the
customer in the event it is declined or stolen.
