Does your company do a lot of Legal Sized Binding? Or maybe you only do a few legal sized documents but you want to make sure that the binding machine that you buy can handle 14? long documents. Either way, this article is designed to help you understand the options available on the market for binding legal sized documents. Here is a quick overview?
1. Plastic Comb Binding: The most common method for binding legal sized documents is with plastic combs. We stock legal size plastic comb binding supplies and other colors can easily be ordered with a little bit of lead time. There are a few different legal sized plastic comb binding punches including the Tamerica Durabind 242 Legal Sized Plastic Comb Binding Machine, the Akiles CombMac and the Akiles line of Combo Machines that bind both wire and plastic combs. However, if you don't have a plastic comb binding machine that is long enough to punch your legal sized documents you may still be able to bind your documents. Check out our article on binding long documents with plastic binding combs.
2. Twin Loop Wire Binding: Although many of the wire binding machines on the market are capable of handling legal sized documents the trick with twin loop wire is getting the wire binding elements in 14? lengths. Fortunately, we carry custom length wire which can be cut to almost any length including legal size. However, in order to ensure that the element matches the punching pattern on your document you will first want to punch one legal sized document and count the number of holes. You can simply order the twin loop wire so that it is cut to the exact number of holes you need.
3. Spiral Coil Binding: One of the least expensive methods of binding legal sized documents is with spiral coil. Spiral coil can be purchased in virtually any length and is available in more than 60 different colors. If you want to bind legal sized documents with spiral coil you will probably need to order 15? long spiral coil to ensure that you have enough coil on each end to easily crimp your books. Not all of the spiral coil binding machines on the market have the ability to punch 14? long books. However, the Akiles CoilMac, CoilMac ECI and CoilMac EPI have a feature that allows you to flip your books over to punch legal documents (and other documents longer than 12?).
4. Velobind: GBC Velobind Hot Knife binding systems are some of the only binding systems that are ready to bind legal sized documents out of the box. GBC manufacturers legal sized 1? thick Black Velobind strips that can used in the Velobind System One, Velobind System Two and Velobind System 3 Binding Machines. However, it is important to recognize that these strips are only available for books up to 1? thick. If you need to bind a document larger than 1? you may need to look at plastic comb binding as an option.
These four options are your primary options for binding legal sized documents. Unfortunately, legal sized binding supplies are not readily available for thermal binding and Unibind binding machines. However, these four options should hopefully provide you with an option that will provide you with the look and feel that you need for your reports and presentations.
Today, both the merchants and the affiliates can see clearly that affiliate marketing can work for both of them. The merchant sees affiliate marketing today as the chance to advertise their products at a lower cost. The affiliates, on the other hand, sees affiliate marketing as an easy way of earning profits online by doing what they like most, and that is by creating websites.
Just as the popularity of affiliate marketing has shifted into greater heights, so has the people's outlook about it changed. No longer is affiliate marketing considered today as an alternative method for the merchant to advertise his products, or as a source of additional income for the affiliates. For merchants and affiliates alike, affiliate marketing is now considered as a main source of profits and revenues.
So the question now is what type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? Are all affiliate marketing programs the same? Are the benefits the same? Or are there affiliate marketing programs that work better than others?
There are actually different types or classes of affiliate marketing, and the number of types will depend on how one will classify them. The most basic affiliate marketing programs, however, falls under two categories: pay-per-click (PPC), and pay-per-performance (PPP).
Pay Per Click (PPC)
PPC is the most popular type of affiliate marketing for affiliates with small websites, and probably the easiest way for them to earn money. In this affiliate marketing type, the merchant pays his affiliate whenever a visitor is referred to his site, that is whenever someone clicks through the merchant's banner or text ads. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant's site. However, typical fees for PPC affiliate programs are small, usually not exceeding a dollar for every click.
Pay Per Performance (PPP)
PPP affiliate marketing is the most popular among merchants and is also the most lucrative type for the affiliates. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral translates into an action�"that is whenever the visitor he has referred actually buys something from the merchant's site or when the visitor becomes a lead. This means a lot of savings for the merchant. On the other hand, it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate, for commissions in PPP affiliate marketing usually comes in the range of 15% to 20% of the actual product sales.
Pay-per-performance affiliate marketing can be further classified into two popular types: pay-per-sales (PPS) and pay-per-lead (PPL).
Pay Per Sale (PPS)
In a pay-per-sale type of affiliate marketing, the merchants pay the affiliates a certain fee whenever the visitors he has referred to the merchant's site actually buys something from the merchant's site. Affiliates are often paid on commission basis, although other merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee. But no matter what the basis of the fee is, it is generally higher than the fee paid to affiliates in a pay-per-click affiliate program.
Pay Per Lead (PPL)
The pay-per-lead type of affiliate marketing is a slight variation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance and finance companies and other companies who rely on leads for their company to grow. In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to the merchant's site fills up an application form or any similar form related to the business of the company. Compensation for this type of affiliate marketing is based on a fixed fee whose rates approximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type.
Aside from these three specific types of affiliate marketing, a lot of other affiliate marketing types exist. If the classification is based on the depth of the affiliate network, it can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier affiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliate marketing that pays the affiliate each time the customer he has referred purchases something from the merchant's site.
Single-Tier, Two-Tier, and Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing
These types of affiliate marketing are based on the different levels or tiers in the affiliate network by which payments are made. In a single-tier affiliate marketing program, the affiliates are only paid based on the direct sales or traffic he has referred to the merchant. All the previously mentioned affiliate marketing types (i.e. PPS, PPL, and PPC) fall under the single-tier classification.
In two-tier affiliate marketing programs, the affiliate is not only paid for the direct traffic or sales that he refers to the merchant's site, but also on every traffic or sales referred by various other affiliates who joined the affiliate program through his recommendation. Multi-tier affiliate marketing works the same way, although the affiliate gets additional commission for a wider number of affiliates in different tiers in the affiliate network.
Residual Income Affiliate Marketing
In residual income affiliate marketing, the affiliate gets paid not only once for every customer he has referred to the merchant's site. Rather, the affiliate is also paid whenever the customer he has referred returns to the site and purchase another product. Compensation for such type of affiliate marketing is based on either sales percentage commission or fixed fee basis.
The different affiliate marketing types would virtually work differently for merchants and affiliates alike, and each would generally have their own list of benefits. Which type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? It is not really for me to tell. Rather, it is for you to choose which type of affiliate marketing program will suit your needs and characteristics best.
