Setup your special offer "Offer Manager"
section.
This
system have the functionality of rotating an unlimited offers randomly.
Suppose you list 10 offers and the user comes to this offer page
and sees the "Offer 1" and if he comes later after the
offer is expired he will not be shown the offer expired message
but instead shown the "Offer 2" and then "offer 3"
- "offer 10" and so on. After the 10th' offer is shown,
than only it will show the offer expired message.
If
you decide to add more offers later eg. "Offer 11" &
"Offer 12", than the script will now again start to show
those new offers if the same visitor again visit that offer page.
After
that, If there are no more any new offers to show than it will display
the offer expired page. This system goes on an on this way.
Note:
All the unique users will see your offers from the begining i.e.
"Offer 1" to "Offer 12" randomly.

To
set offers,
Offer
Name: You can fill any name (example: Discount
Deal) in this box but each time you add new offer, you
must give a unique name to the system. Otherwise it will not function
properly.
Valid
Period: Here you should fill how many days you want the
offer to be shown. Suppose, if you want the offer to be a 'One Time
Offer' than put the no "0" and if you
want to run for 7days than put the no "7"
without quotes.
Folder
Path: If you want to use this option, than you will need
to put your sales page inside the 'SOM' directory.
Example:
http://www.yourdomain.com/som/ (Script Directory)
Than,
Case1: http://www.yourdomain.com/som/salespage/
or,
Case
2: http://www.yourdomain.com/som/offer/salespage1.html
On
the folder path box, you will put the following,
For
Case1: salespage/ &,
Case
2: offer/salespage1.html
Direct
Url: If you don't want to use the "Folder
Path" option than use this option. But you will
need to use only one at a time. So, here you simply provide the
url of your sales page. It doesn't matter if the sales page is on
the same domain or any other domains.
Note:
In order to show the date and remaining time, you will need to put
two tags as shown below.
WARNING:
This
Special Offer Expires On {TAG1}
You have {TAG2} to purchase this product! |
If
you are only using this tool to show the One Time Offer than simply
don't put any tags on your sales page. Another thing you will need
to fix when using direct url option is, you will need to provide
the live link for all the images used on the sales page.
Redirect:
You can tick this box if you have no longer any offers to show to
visitors and want to promote affiliate program.
Now
finally, you have filled in the required details. Click "Add
New Offer" You are done! If you want to add another
offer than repeat the above process.
Now,
the "Offer Display" page you want visitors
to send is:
http://www.yourdomain.com/som/
(Script Directory) or,
http://www.yourdomain.com/som/index.php
This
is where all your offers are randomly shown.
You
can use this tool to rotate unlimited offers or use it for only
one offer. If you don't want to rotate offers and would like to
use for only one product than just add one offer to the system.
If
you have any new ideas that can be implemented in this tool than
please let us know.
We would really appreciate your help.
