To set up an application form in SARAL, all you need to do is head over to your Applications tab on your lefthand sidebar and create your first Application Form by hitting on the “
Create Forms & Get Applications” button.
Step 1:
The initial stage in setting up your form involves creating your invite Landing Page. This includes the following steps:
Incorporating brand visuals: Insert your brand logo and a prominent image.
Naming your program and providing a brief description: Utilize the headline and description boxes on the right-hand side of your form builder. Common headlines include "Join the BrandName Tribe," "Wanna be part of the BRAND NAME Community/Family," or "Join our Ambassadorship Program." Keep the description concise, engaging, and include a Call to Action (CTA) from the dropdown menu.
Customizing the style: Select background, headline, text, and button colors that align with your brand identity and color scheme.
Adding your website domain and subdomain: Paste your website domain and subdomain into the corresponding fields. Then proceed by clicking "Next."
Step 2:
The next step in building your form involves completing the Description section that prospective applicants will view on the left-hand side of the form. Here, you'll provide them more details about the program and inform them about the collaboration terms. All sections are already prefilled and designed for minor adjustments only.
Headline 1: Typically, this serves as a brief introduction to your ambassador program. SARAL provides a preconfigured template for this. You have the flexibility to tailor it to match your brand's tone.
Headline 2: The second headline outlines the offerings of the brand. This is where you showcase the benefits of joining the community. Here, you'll outline what your brand provides to influencers: monthly gifts, exclusive discounts on brand products, affiliate commissions, a unique partner discount code, and a percentage discount for their followers.
Headline 3: The third section summarizes the brand's expectations from an affiliate partner. It's essential to clearly articulate what the brand requires from a partner in exchange for the perks outlined in the previous section. This may include creating 2-3 pieces of content per month sharing authentic reviews of brand products, unboxing, and shoutouts, as well as encouraging their audience to try out the products.
Headline 4: This is where you can insert a concise and compelling CTA encouraging them to apply.
Step 3:
The third phase of building up your form involves completing the Form Setup section that applicants will fill in with their information on the right-hand side of the form. This is where you'll pose elimination and qualification questions to aid in your selection process.
This segment comes preloaded with questions that you can activate or deactivate. You can also include additional questions specific to your brand (e.g., Are you a Pet Parent?).
After configuring the setup questions, you can activate the "Gift Selection" toggle, which allows you to include one, two, or more preselected gifts from your store. Enabling this option gives creators the choice to select their preferred gift. This feature also streamlines the shipping process by automatically dispatching the preselected gift to influencers upon application acceptance. It's also advisable to activate the "Shipping Address for Gifts" toggle to collect applicant addresses in advance and streamline operations by reducing back-and-forth emails.
In the final segment of the Form Setup, applicants will specify their preferred payment method from a predefined dropdown selection (e.g., Paypal or Venmo). This ensures that you have all their payment information to facilitate commission transfers by the end of each month.
Step 4:
The fourth and last step is amending your Thank You message and hitting the Save & Publish button!
Step 5:
Now that your form is complete, you're ready to spread the word. In the next article, we'll explore the various methods you can use to promote your Affiliate Program.
Approving and Rejecting Applications:
Once applications start coming in, you can access and review them from your Applications section. You can then approve the ones you wish to collaborate with and reject the others after reviewing their responses and auditing their social accounts.
