Dear Affiliate Partner,

We have made some changes to the base prices in your affiliate account. The majority of base prices have gone DOWN meaning higher commissions for you, so we wanted to get the changes in ASAP. A few prices have gone up, so you'll want to check out the new comparison table we've added. Just login to your affiliate account at http://www.rxmedicalnetwork.com (http://www.rxmedicalnetwork.com/) and follow the link at the top of the main page to view the new prices.

We'll give you better warning next time, but these changes should be well-received.

Best regards,

Affiliate Relations

Don't believe the HYPE.

My schedule had 38 Price reductions and 77 price increases.

I don't think that is a majority of reductions. In fact the majority was price increases.

I started to look and saw price changes all over the place and thought maybe a job for another day....

Yeah, umm... here's my favorite:



<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=1 width=600 border=1>
<T>
<TR>
<TD class=tableDarkRow>148</TD>
<TD class=tableDarkRow>Prozac 20mg </TD>
<TD class=tableDarkRow align=right>30 </TD>
<TD class=tableDarkRow align=right>$42.90</TD>
<TD class=tableDarkRow align=right>$130.00</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD class=tableLightRow>149</TD>
<TD class=tableLightRow>Prozac 20mg </TD>
<TD class=tableLightRow align=right>60 </TD>
<TD class=tableLightRow align=right>$53.37</TD>
<TD class=tableLightRow align=right>$230.00</TD></TR></T></TABLE>


I see a few went down about $30, but so many went up... even 4x what they were.


This Prozac example puts them way out of any way to compete with other normal priced OPs. Ahh well. Don't slap the hand that feeds you.. unless you find a new feeder smileys/smiley8.gif

Prozac...?


What about Phentermine, Fioricet, Carisiprodol,Ambien, Tramadol, Levitraand the rest of the meds that actually sell?


At the old Prozac prices, we lost quite a bit on every sale. It wasnever a big issue, because we sell so little Prozac, but the prices needed to be fixed in this round of updates.


Many prices went up, butthe bulk of ourtop sellers went down.Take an honest look at the meds you sell with regularity and you'll see most went down.


I'm not happy we had to raise any prices, but I'm glad we were able to lower prices and offer better commissions on the top selling meds.


Nohype was intended.The majorityof the sales we see every day will be earning better commissions at this set of prices.


My apologies for any miscommunication.


Cheers,

out of the 115 meds they offer, I only care about 20, well actually 5, and all those went down. I don't think it was hype.

I know, Prozac sucks for sales, I was just pointing out the worst case scenario with this price change.


I totally agree the most popular drugs did see a decrease.


Believe me, I think this affiliate program is one of the best and easiest to roll out because of your support.


The wording of the email could have been better. That's why the negativity by DrugsDr.


However, being a new affiliate in this program and absolutely no sales (no sites marketed either), I have no room to talk. But give me a month :)

scottdaman, I totally understand. You aren't the first to point out the almost laughable jump in Prozac prices and the email could've been worded a bit better. I look forward to your sales starting up next month, as I'm sure youdo as well! smileys/smiley1.gif


redex and DEWIE42, thanks. I hope everyone sees the same thing - that the meds they sell will be earning higher commissions.

Well, I have never been successful selling Antidepressants and some of the other drugs. But diet pills, tramadol, soma are all down, among others, and besides, these are my favorite people to send orders to.Im swithing my ads over from EVA because I can't deal with these declines. It's a shame things didn't work out at MWS, but after taking 15 days and me still not receiving my hydro order, I've lost confidence in them- I can't send a customer to a place like that, no matter how nice two of the guys were onthe phone. So, thank you Eathan.

Eathan,


You know, if I wasn't so dang picky about templates, I'd have your site up already. But unlike most, I like to rename everything (all files), change code, and of course, change all content on every template.


This takes a ton of time but it helps with dup content issues with any search engine. Therefore, that's why I say a month. 2 weeks to work on the template you emailed me and 2 weeks to get some of it listed.


Both you and MyRXBiz have impressed me. I quit making sites for EVA and am focusing towards you two for now! smileys/smiley17.gif


Thanks!

scottdaman got me right I was having a go at the "wording" rather than the price changes.

I'm happy with this program and one of my sites is just starting to ramp up with them.

In fact I did a profit analysis with myrxbix and rxmedical and at my retail prices I make more with rxmedical than myrxbiz. It was pertty close, but rxmedical came out tops.

Why do you bother with templates then??? smileys/smiley5.gif

Redex,


Because, it still saves me a weeks worth of work designing my own. Which, btw, I have done.


With a template, the meds are all formatted and all pages are built. So, the structure is in place. I then simply need to revise each page vs having to go out and find descriptions for each med, find pictures, etc.

scottdaman, no worries, just hurry up! smileys/smiley2.gif


drugsdr, sorry again about the wording. We meant well, but I know what you mean... Glad you do like the program and glad we beat myrxbiz, yet again...


So everybody is happy with the new prices, then? Aside from Prozac, I mean.
