Affiliate Marketing
When the business first launched WinkBeds sent out their mattresses to people who blogged about mattress, sleep and other things relevant to the product. These bloggers would then create relevant content that exposed the WinkBed brand – it as a relatively low cost acquisition channel because the bloggers and affiliates already had great search ranking and a following. The bloggers were then earning a small commission on every mattress sold on the site. WinkBeds use sharesell.com to manage their affiliate programme.
