MenuI'm preparing to start a cashback rewards mobile app. How do I attract retailers and brands? Note, I'm new so I don't have any success stories.
This question has no further details.
Answers
Have a look at AWIN. CJ.com or Admitad and contact brand managers through those platforms ..
Do not think too much of your references in the beginning. Think about it like this. Most startups do not have any references to brag with when they start out but are still able to find partners.
However what you should think about is your USP. What is it that makes your cashback reward app unique and why should anyone partner up with you, when there are already well established cashback apps with huge audiences.
When you figure that out, come up with an elevator pitch as you would for an investor, where you clearly detail what makes you unique compared to others, what the advantage would be for your partner and how you plan to scale your audience.
The last part is also important. Many people always wonder how entrepreneurs come up with any numbers for their future revenue, when they are just starting out. Well they are making them up in sense and investors know it. The questions is not do you hit the exact numbers you have presented in your first pitch or come even close to it but do you have an exact plan and a grasp of the numbers and marketing dynamics. How else would someone trust you and partner up with you?
Last but not least make it as easy and painless for them to join your program. Offer them a sponsored positioning for a year if they try you out or a blast out to your future e-mail list/ push notifications. Anything that makes it a you can't lose deal.
When it comes to approaching your partners make sure you know exactly who's your ideal partner. Then do not start with the biggest player. They are more conservative and will most likely join you later when you have other partners similar to them. However mid-size companies are often more flexible and keen to try something new. Go to LinkedIn and find the right people from marketing or business development. Connect with them. See if you have any common friends and try to get a warm introduction. Otherwise your objective should be to schedule an initial call where you can pitch your idea in ideally 5 to 10 minutes as you will not get more time. When they are interested you schedule a follow up immediately.
If you need more help it would be my pleasure.
Best of luck.

How do we get influencers to work on a commission basis? We ran out of $ on PPC campaigns. I need an influencer expert.
Some of those same influencers who turned you down might have written about your service if you hadn't offered to pay them. You should have instead sent them a bag of dicks. If they're a celebrity, you can get their agent's address from http://contactanycelebrity.com/ (it sounds fake, but it's actually totally legit, agents actually send them info). If they don't have an agent, try to look for a 'fan mail' address that they might have posted on a video or something. If you can't get any relevant address, then look up their friends on social media instead, and offer to pay them $xxx cash to send a back of dicks to their friend, and a cut of whatever orders end up being generated by that (if the influencer ends up writing about it). There are more techniques you can use to get influencers to post for free about it. Send me a message if you want to discuss it more, or just to say thanks if any of these ideas work (I'd actually like to know). all the best, LeeLV

What are the best ways to do a cold approach to ask a store to carry your product or do business with you?
Mitigate risk. You're asking a store manager to dedicate space that costs money (and must generate revenue) to an experimental (unproven) product. I've seen some cottage industry food sellers here in Detroit work out deals to set up and sell their products at local stores. They get a day or two to show the stores what they can do. If customers respond and buy a lot of the product, it opens the door for more shelf space. If not, the store lost nothing in giving it a try. How do you set this up? Free stuff. Give the decision-maker free samples of your product. If he or she likes it, you're on to the next step. Enjoy making your good luck for yourself! I'm happy to discuss further by phone.BI
