The coupon offers a discount, encouraging tradespeople and businesses to sign up. You will receive monthly commission payments for each successful referral using your code.<\/p><p>&#8211; You will be assigned a <strong>unique Affiliate Code and coupon discount code<\/strong> upon signing up.<br \/>&#8211; The coupon discount code applies only to the first payment made by the tradesperson or business. Payments will continue at the discounted rate after the initial code has been used.<br \/>&#8211; However, once a tradesperson or business signs up with the discount code, they will remain on the discounted rate while they continue to advertise on the SimplyTrades\u00ae platform through their subscription plan.<br \/>&#8211; You may place affiliate links, banners, or other approved graphics (which include your coupon discount code) on your website, in emails, or other communications.<br \/>&#8211; SimplyTrades\u00ae will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical resources for promoting the coupon code and tracking sales through your Affiliate Code.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Referral Fees\/Commissions and Payment<\/strong><\/p><p>1. <strong>Earning Commissions:<\/strong> <br \/>&#8211; For each tradesperson or business that signs up for a paid package through your unique Affiliate link and uses your coupon discount code, you will earn a one-off referral fee based on the package selected. <br \/>&#8211; This one-off payment does not include any further subscriptions from the signed-up client (tradesperson or business).<\/p><p>2. <strong>Tracking and Reporting:<\/strong> <br \/>&#8211; SimplyTrades\u00ae will track and report purchases made through your Affiliate links and coupon codes.
