Piano Wizard eCard - A Great Opportunity For Holiday Sales

2009-12-05T07:03:00.008-05:00

Year after year Piano Wizard has been proven to be a great holiday season seller. Conversion rates increase along with sales. Now is a great time to earn extra commissions during this wonderful season. Did I say "extra commissions?" How about "huge commissions"?

Consider this: As we have redesigned our web site, our total conversion rate has soared from around 1-2% to an amazing 12%! We can't take complete credit for that spike, the holiday season does have something to do with that. Whatever the reason, the sales conversions are there.

One week ago one of our affiliates initiated their email campaign. This affiliate has already brought in over $65,000 in sales! And there are still 3 weeks to go before the holidays. But what is really amazing is that this affiliate has been selling a $500 Academy Package by simply marketing it as a high end - and fun - alternative to traditional piano lessons.

Considering the shape of the economy, I was taken aback by the generated revenue. 95% percent of those sales were at the $500 level. Apparently, people actually DO have money to spend but they are not going to just spend it on anything. They want value. And we can provide that with our Exclusive Offer - which is now "YOUR" Exclusive Offer.

We want you to be successful with our products and earn great commissions this season. To make it easy for you, we have simply "replicated" a process that has already been proven successful - Your Piano Wizard eCARD.

If you maintain a mailing list / send out Newsletters to a database of customers, prospects, visitors, please visit this link now:

http://www.musicwizard.com/mrk/landing/ecard/cybermidi/ecard-shareasale.html

Simply follow the instructions on the page. Clickthroughs from your generated affiliate links will lead to a special set of landing pages optimized for simplicity and a quick sell. And remember, you will earn 25% of that sale. Advanced users, you may want to consider "masking" the affiliate link using htaccess, or redirect pages on your site.

Don't maintain a mailing list or send out a newsletter? Use the code to create a page on your site, use it for popup/popunder ads, whatever. If you have any questions or concerns, need help with the code, or would like to discuss branding options, please drop me an email.

Best of success and have a great holiday season.

Simply instruct your customers, visitors, blog or mailing list readers to use discount code "SUMMER09" at checkout. This offer is valid on any of our products, but it expires on July 21st.

Chris Salter, the CEO of Allegro says, "Piano Wizard represents a significant shift in the way we introduce music to kids as well as adults, with many people thinking that it simply can't be done, or conversely, that they have seen this before. Because of these perceptions, we knew we [had to] let people see for themselves that the gateways to music are now wide open for everyone."

And don't forget, we've raised our commission rate to 25% on Academy products. So while the kids get to learn how to play piano, parents save some money and you can boost your commisions this month.

If you're at the Affiliate Summit in Vegas right now, come by our booth and say Hello! Once you see for yourself how easy it is to play your favorite songs using Piano Wizard, it'll be a whole lot easier to pitch it to your sites' visitors.

Wow! Christmas was awesome!

2008-01-30T13:34:00.000-05:00

Our affiliates are to be commended for doing a great job moving our products this Christmas! Because of our price points Piano Wizard, and now Piano Wizard Academy, are pretty much viewed by most as serious Christmas Gifts. A good deal (but not all) of our direct-to-customer sales are at Christmas time. The product is doing well among music teachers as well.

Our most common sale this Christmas season was for Piano Wizard Premier with the 49e keyboard for $199.95. We sold more of those by far than all the others combined.

Here's the page with the new Piano Wizard affiliate videos

Flash Games & Referral Pages

2007-09-10T13:22:00.000-04:00

Flash Games

It's been crazy lately getting our flash games all ready to be used by our affiliates. We had a few programming glitches that had to be worked out but I'm happy to report that they have been resolved and we should be able to make those available to all of you soon.

The flash games are more involved than the flash demo, they have several other games for young kids that are music related, including, of course, the online flash demo of Piano Wizard. You can see one application of them at http://www.utah-newspapers.com/learn-to-play-piano.

They're really kind of cool, you can edit a file that comes with it to include your own affiliate link and so whenever anyone clicks through from the games to PianoWizard.com, it's through your link. As soon as I can get a how-to-implement document together and edit them to be generic for any affiliate, I'll make the files available. (should be ready within days).

Referral Page Content Grist

I had set up an automatic blog to gather links to pages around the Internet that have content about Piano Wizard and Allegro Rainbow. For some strange reason, the software put an affiliate's URL in the title of a posting but the content of the entry had a link to someone else's site. The affiliate was concerned about that, thinking it had been done intentionally.

Although I fixed that particular entry, it occured to me that other affiliates might find the "news blog" a problem when other affiliates' link pages show up and there's haven't yet. So, to avoid the hassle of a fight over that, I removed the news blog and included a link to PianoWizard.com's page of reviews on our Music Wizard Affiliate Tools page (at the bottom).

The idea is that you can use ideas from those reviews to create a referral page on your site(s) with your affiliate links in place.

Flash games being worked over

2007-08-08T12:24:00.001-04:00

WOW! Time flies, eh?

Since returning from Affiliate Summit in Miami, I've been scrambling to assist our newest affiliates get all set up. Also launched the production of some Christmas assets for our affiliates to start using this Fall.

Currently -- we are making changes to our set of 4 music-related flash games to make them usable for our affiliates!

Remember, you can currently use the Piano Wizard flash game by itself. The files for this are available on the Affiliate Tools page in the "Flash Demo!" section. All you have to do is upload the files after you change ##### to your ShareASale affiliate code and add your home page URL.

We'll keep you posted!

Affiliate testimonials

2007-07-24T11:26:00.000-04:00

Here's what was said about Piano Wizard on ABestWeb by affiliates who came by our booth at the Affiliate Summit in Miami and tried their hand at the game:

"For those of you who have a personal interest in playing the piano or have related traffic, this is a COOL product and I look forward to promoting it."
- Scott Hazard (Scooter)

"I saw this demonstrated at Affiliate Summit and it is simply amazing. I can't imagine there would ever be any returns on this product as it really does work and makes learning so simple. I'm wishing I had entered the contest!!!"
- 7-Days

"I also saw this at breakfast and thought it was really cool. I remember dreading piano lessons as a kid, and I still can't play more than "Mary Had a Little Lamb". This would have been a much more fun experience."
- Stephanie Harris, AM

"I signed up within minutes of trying this program out and started working on some promotion ideas the day after I recovered [from attending the Summit]. It's a great product and it was great meeting the crew."
- Shawn Kerr

"I am so excited!!! I had already put up one of Jesse's articles and blogged about Piano Wizard last week. I decided as soon as I saw it at AS that if I was not one of the winners, I would be buying it for my kids anyway.
"I just explained to my kids that they are going to learn to play the piano and mommy is going to be videotaping it for her website."
- HelpingMoms

"I absolutely want one. This is the coolest educational 'toy!'"
- Rexanne

"The concept is so awesome, and speaking as someone who took lessons for years, your product is much cheaper and easier then dragging out to lessons. In my case, some very large mean man pounding on the organ the entire time I took my lesson. You are tops on our list of promotions."
- Sunshiner

Music Wizard "news blog" offers useful descriptive text

2007-06-11T12:47:00.000-04:00

In an effort to make creating your affiliate referral pages easier, we've started gathering news articles and headlines from around the Internet.

We scour the Internet daily to find any new press releases, articles, and web pages that discuss or at least mention Piano Wizard, Guitar Wizard, or the Music Wizard Academy.

How does this help you, as the affiliate? It gives you quick access to useful descriptive text about Allegro's Music Wizard products for building pages on your affiliate sites.

For example, one of the first press releases posted to the Music Wizard News pages was titled, "Piano Wizard Game Makes Practicing Piano Fun!" It tells all about Piano Wizard and Allegro. It contains some great content that our affiliates are welcome to "repurpose" on their sites.

The Music Wizard News page is located at: http://www.MusicWizardAffiliates.com/news/

Enjoy!

1 minute Piano Wizard video updated

2007-06-04T11:08:00.000-04:00

Had some difficulty properly embedding the flash version of the 1 minute Piano Wizard video. Wanted to help our affiliates avoid the "Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control" annoyance.

We found a way using Javascript and Quicktime video to get it to work seemlessly.

So, Piano Wizard affiliates can use it to grab eyes on their websites and send them through for commissionable sales. More videos to come.

Enjoy!

Almost forgot! New affilitate training document available

2007-05-21T13:56:00.001-04:00

Should mention that last week, we added a PDF document to help those new to the world of affiliate marketing to create affiliate links. It goes through the gory details so anyone who can operate a computer can create an affiliate link.
