TextMagic’s New Affiliate Programme is Here: Get 10% for Life, Plus £15 per New Customer

by Webb

We are excited to announce that our new TextMagic Affiliate Programme is now open and taking new affiliates.

It’s been in the works for a while, we know. But, we really wanted to get it right and offer you, our customers, the best affiliate deal we could. We’re really happy with the response we’ve had so far, and we’re sure you’ll agree that this is best affiliate deal in the SMS market.

Take a look

As an affiliate, for each new customer you refer to TextMagic you will earn:

  • 10% of all revenue we get from customers you refer to us – for the life of the customer
  • £15 for each new paying customer you send our way

That means that when you refer someone from your website, application, blog, or email and they sign up as a paying customer, you will earn £15, plus 10% of their first purchase – and 10% of all subsequent purchases.

Great for developers

In addition to being able to integrate our bulk SMS features into your application through our  SMS gateway API or Email to SMS, you will also earn affiliate revenue from your apps when you sign up as an affiliate with TextMagic.

TextMagic SMS gateway integration process flow

Using our text message gateway gives you easy and cost-effective bulk SMS messaging for your user base, including:

  • Two-Way SMS functionality with SMS reply numbers so that recipients can reply to your text messages.
  • Up to 459 characters in a single text – no more annoying message breaks for long texts!

How much can you earn?

Long Term Income with TextMagic Affiliate ProgrammeHere’s an example of what you can earn from referring a new customer to TextMagic:

£15 (First purchase bonus)

+          £10 (10% of first purchase revenue of £100)

=          £25

After that, every time they purchase more credits, you’ll earn 10%. If they purchased £100 of credits every quarter, you’d earn a further £30 that first year – and just from that one referral!

Most of our customers make many purchases over several years, so you can earn a continuous income, even after the cookie expires.

How It Works

We’ve worked hard to keep this easy-to-use, just like our SMS services:

  1. A visitor clicks your affiliate link.
  2. When they arrive at our website, we log their IP and place a tracking cookie on their computer (this is so we can attribute the next part to you).
  3. After browsing our website, if they order, it is registered as a sale for you.
  4. We review and approve the sale. You get £15 + 10%.
  5. Now that your referred customer has signed up, we credit all his or her purchases as your sales, even after years have passed and the original cookie is deleted.
  6. You receive your commission payouts via PayPal on the 15th of every month (as long as your balance is at least £25).

You can join our affiliate programme today. If you’d like to find out more about it, check out the affiliate section of the site.

TextMagic Streamlines Supply Chain Reactions for Logistics Companies

by michelle

TextMagic is a breakthrough technology for SMS — short message service — texting from your full-size, easy-to-use computer keyboard. TextMagic provides SMS Gateway software that brings business users the convenience of sending text messages to over 700 global mobile networks without the frustration of tapping out letters on a tiny mobile phone keypad.

Ideal for companies, such as logistics firms, that must track several connections at once during any given project, text messaging allows personnel to transmit quick updates to the entire crew or send single texts for specific task management from PC or laptop keyboards.

When a transport delay notice or a change of order comes in via email, but the recipient is away from the computer, TextMagic’s mobile SMS software automatically forwards those critical messages to the recipient’s mobile phone in the form of texts, keeping employees in the field connected to the latest updates.

Logistics companies’ data must be accurate and complete if operations are to run smoothly. A last-minute change in schedule could mean unfulfilled orders, supply delays, or even a complete breakdown of supply chain management if a quick, dependable system of communications is not in place. TextMagic SMS gateway software and mobile SMS software enable timely, concise and targeted text communications to the appropriate personnel for last-minute changes.

One TextMagic logistics company client set up a UPS notification system within five minutes that facilitates regular advance notification of pickups and deliveries via email to SMS. TextMagic services also streamline daily exchanges of information that are critical to keeping track of logistics companies’ data. Inventory, warehouse availability, and transportation ETAs are all aspects of operations that frequently change. TextMagic optimises any company’s communication network by linking office PCs and mobile devices with lightning-fast transmission of updates.

When a distribution firm makes across-the-board policy revisions that affect a number of supply chain partners, it can utilise the TextMagic gateway to issue one text to a group of recipients, whether they are locally or internationally distributed. With coverage in over 200 countries worldwide that includes several hundred communications networks, TextMagic online text messaging services provide the scope and capabilities for virtually unlimited connections.

Whether coordinating an inbound or outbound supply chain, specialists can operate most efficiently when each manager throughout the system is part of a dedicated communications network. For example, the hub of most operations is the office computer system, where data are stored for supply chain coordination. All links in the chain, including suppliers, inventory, transportation, warehousing, sales, marketing, and end-user (customer) service, depend on connections to the hub. By assuring direct lines of communication between these and other elements of the supply chain, operations managers can implement efficient, integrated systems. As one of the fastest and most targeted methods of communications, TextMagic text messaging technology ensures economical and dependable computer-to-mobile SMS communications. Logistical operations organisers who utilise TextMagic SMS software can far outperform competitors that do not.

By offering clients the ability to send text messages to any member of the team, any firm can build stronger customer relations and a reputation for excellence in customer service. Being available and responsive to text messaging saves both the client and the company time, keeping operations on schedule. TextMagic ties it all together with online texting software that is quick and easy to set up and utilise to its fullest potential.

Nobody likes wasting time. Companies that depend on schedules, including product distributors and service providers, can fine-tune their operations with TextMagic’s online SMS-to-mobile applications and SMS gateway technology, streamlining communications and keeping the entire supply chain running smoothly.
