Affiliation - 5 Tips to improve your affiliation partnership with Manawa

Manawa now brings together more than 9,000 activities around the world. Our aim is to offer our customers the very best, and to achieve this we work hand in hand with our service providers and affiliates.

Created in 2019, our affiliate programme has been developed to enable content creators to offer unique outdoor activities to their audience and monetise their content. Through our programme, we wanted to create a real collaboration with our affiliates, and to achieve this, an affiliation team is on hand to support you.

On the strength of our expertise, we'd like to give you a few recommendations for taking this collaboration to the next level!

1. Keep your style

Our first piece of advice concerns what your audience likes: your content! Creating new articles allows you to show your readers your new discoveries or areas of interest and also to build loyalty. When the interests match up, that's when the recommendations you make are important and resonate with the reader.

2. Take advantage of the trends shared by Manawa

To be as close as possible to our affiliates, we share the trends we observe mainly through our monthly newsletter, which includes the month's news and anything else that might be of interest to you.

As a Manawa affiliate, you have access to a personal affiliate backoffice. From this backoffice you can of course track your sales, but that's not all: you can also track your readers' additions to the shopping basket, which gives you considerable information about what they're looking for and what interests them!

Of course, you can count on your dedicated affiliation advisor to give you information about the booking trends we observe at Manawa. Which destination is the most popular at any given time, which sport is the most booked, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss it.

3. Add activity photos to your content

We know that creating content takes time, which is why we want to do everything we can to help you create it if you want to! Very often pretty photos are needed to illustrate a subject, and your own photos are very useful at this point. However, if you don't have any to show an activity, for example, as a Manawa affiliate you can use photos from our service providers! All you have to do is redirect to the activity in question, but this is something to bear in mind when writing an article.

Redirecting to our activities is quick, but the position of the link is crucial. If you ever notice a slowdown in your sales, we can analyse certain data together to optimise your content and link positioning.

4. Try out our activities!

Suggesting activities at a destination to your audience is a great way to introduce Manawa. Recommending activities is very powerful, even more so when you've done the activity yourself, which is why our affiliate programme includes activity testing.

Once you become an active Manawa affiliate, we can offer you the chance to try out our activities. This also works if you have trips planned, depending on the destinations, what you want to do and discover, we suggest certain activities.

Offering your readers feedback is the best way to get them to want to discover the activity themselves, and we've shown that conversion increases too.

5. Introduce Manawa to your audience

Finally, content that could benefit your readers would be content that introduces them to Manawa. Like some of our affiliates, in a dedicated article you can talk about Manawa, what you think of the platform, but also your feedback if you've already had the chance to try out at least one activity. The aim of this will be to introduce Manawa to your audience, make them want to book the activities you suggest and also build the confidence of readers who are already familiar with Manawa.

If you need advice on this subject, you know what you have to do - the whole of this article talks about it - contact your advisor directly, being at your side and creating this closeness is what we want to emphasise.

You now have our best tips to help you. We will, of course, be updating this article as time goes by and as we see what we can do to help you in the best possible way.

The most important thing for you to remember is that your advisor is there to listen to your questions and think about different strategies to boost our collaboration.

Similarly, if you travel, or are looking for inspiration to write about destinations/spots or sports, don't hesitate to get in touch. We'll be happy to share with you the latest trends and bookings we're seeing in this area.
