About Tata Mini
Tata ran a national essay contest for school and college students. The goal was to get as many registrations and completed essays as possible, from every state, at a low cost per registration.
Why it matters: A national contest lives or dies on registrations, and schools and student partners reach entrants that ads cannot.
The challenge
Tata Mini wanted sales and leads it could measure, paying for results rather than for impressions. The challenge was finding the right partners and tracking every sale or lead back to its source.
How we delivered affiliate marketing for Tata Mini
We built an affiliate network of publishers, deal sites, creators and communities that already reach the target audience. Every partner got unique tracked links or coupon codes, so each lead and sale could be attributed correctly.
Performance was reviewed daily. Partners with strong conversion rates got more budget and better offers, weak ones were paused, and landing pages and offers were tuned to lift conversion and lower the cost per acquisition.
For Tata Mini, the work covered essay contest registrations through education and student affiliates, school and college partner outreach and tracked registration funnel with reminders.
