1. Your Affiliate Link
The foundation of everything — get it right first
How your link works
Every order placed by a visitor who arrived via your link earns you 15% commission. Your unique affiliate code is automatically appended to any Pictorem URL you share — just add ?refer=YOURCODE to any page.
Example: https://www.pictorem.com/canvas-print.html?refer=YOURCODE
Link to specific products
Instead of always linking to the homepage, link directly to the most relevant product page. If your audience is interested in home decor, link to the canvas print or acrylic page. Relevant landing pages convert significantly better.
- Canvas prints:
/canvas-print.html?refer=YOURCODE - Acrylic prints:
/acrylic-print.html?refer=YOURCODE - Metal prints:
/metal-print.html?refer=YOURCODE - Photo paper:
/fine-art-print.html?refer=YOURCODE
Pro tip
Use a URL shortener (like bit.ly) to make your affiliate links clean and trackable. This is especially useful on social media where long URLs look spammy.
Cookie duration
Pictorem uses a persistent affiliate cookie. If a visitor clicks your link and comes back later to place an order, you still earn the commission.
2. Blog & Website
The highest-converting affiliate channel — invest here first
Write an honest review article
A detailed, personal review is the single best-performing piece of affiliate content. Cover:
- Your personal experience ordering from Pictorem
- Photo quality, colour accuracy, packaging and delivery speed
- Product range (canvas, acrylic, metal, framed, paper, murals…)
- Pricing and value comparison with competitors
- Final verdict + a clear call-to-action with your affiliate link
Best article formats that convert
SEO tips to drive free traffic
- Target long-tail keywords: "custom canvas print review", "best metal wall art", "print photo on canvas cheap"
- Include the word "review" — these searches have very high buyer intent
- Add your own photos of the received prints — original images rank better and build trust
- Write at least 1 200 words — comprehensive articles rank higher
- Link to Pictorem using descriptive anchor text: "order a canvas print" not just "click here"
Best performing content
Blog posts that include real photos of prints received, with honest pros/cons, consistently outperform generic ads. Authenticity is your biggest asset.
Disclosure required
Always disclose that your article contains affiliate links. This is legally required in most countries (FTC in USA) and also builds reader trust.
Example: "This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you."
3. Social Media
Instagram & Pinterest are the strongest channels for print-on-demand
- Put your shortened affiliate link in your bio — it's the only clickable link on Instagram
- Use Stories with the "Link" sticker to send followers directly to Pictorem
- Share before/after posts: an empty wall vs. the same wall with a canvas print
- Tag @pictorem.com for potential resharing (more visibility)
- Post consistently — 3 to 5 times per week minimum for growth
- Use relevant hashtags:
#canvasprint#walldecor#homeinspo#printoftheday
- Pinterest is a search engine, not just social — pins drive traffic for months or years
- Create a dedicated board: "Canvas & Wall Art Ideas" or "Photo Print Gifts"
- Pin the marketing images from the Marketing Tools tab with your affiliate link as the destination URL
- Write keyword-rich pin descriptions: mention print type, size, décor style
- Vertical pins (2:3 ratio, e.g. 1 000 × 1 500 px) perform best
- Pin 5–10 times per day (mix your own with other relevant content)
- Share in relevant Facebook Groups (home décor, photography, DIY, gifting groups)
- Always lead with value: share a wall décor tip or photo inspiration, then mention Pictorem naturally
- Create a Facebook Page dedicated to home décor / photo art to build an audience
- Run low-budget Facebook Ads targeting homeowners, photographers, interior design fans
- Avoid being "spammy" — groups have rules against pure promotional posts
TikTok
- Film a "room transformation" video: empty wall → printed canvas reveal
- Unboxing videos perform extremely well — show the packaging, the print quality, the final hang
- Use trending sounds and decor-related hashtags:
#homedecortiktok#roommakeover - Add your affiliate link in your bio and mention it in video captions
- TikTok's algorithm favours new accounts — even small creators can go viral
4. YouTube
Long-form video reviews drive consistent, evergreen affiliate income
Best video ideas
- Unboxing & review — order from Pictorem, film the unboxing and review print quality on camera
- Room tour / décor tour — show your space featuring Pictorem prints
- Comparison video — Pictorem vs. competitor: quality, price, shipping
- How-to video — "How to turn a photo into a canvas print (step by step)"
- Gift idea video — "Best personalised gifts for [occasion]"
Placement & description tips
- Put your affiliate link in the first line of the video description — before "Show more"
- Pin a comment with your affiliate link so it stays visible
- Mention your affiliate link verbally 2–3 times during the video
- Add a clickable end-screen card linking to your review blog post (which has your affiliate link)
- Use keyword-rich video titles: "Pictorem Canvas Print Review 2026 — Honest Take"
5. Email Marketing
If you have a mailing list, this is your highest-ROI channel
How to introduce Pictorem to your list
- Send a personal story email: "I ordered a canvas print of my favourite photo and here's what happened…"
- Include a real photo of your print in the email body — visual proof converts better than text alone
- Offer your audience a clear reason to try: quality, range, competitive pricing
- Time your email around gift-giving seasons: Mother's Day, Christmas, Valentine's Day, graduation
Seasonal email calendar
Subject line tips
Use curiosity or personal framing:
- "I finally ordered a canvas print — here's my honest review"
- "The perfect personalised gift for [occasion]"
- "This is how I decorated my living room wall for $60"
6. Using Banners & Marketing Images
Ready-made creatives — grab them from the Marketing Tools tab
Placing banner ads on your website
- Use the HTML embed code from the Marketing Tools tab — it already contains your affiliate link
- Best positions: sidebar, within article body, and at the end of related posts
- Banner ads in the sidebar are always visible; in-content banners are seen by engaged readers
- Avoid placing too many banners — 1 to 2 per page is optimal. More looks like spam and reduces trust
- Choose banners that match your site's visual style and audience
Using images on social media
- Download the marketing images and post them directly on Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram
- Add your own text overlay using Canva or similar tools before posting on social media
- High-resolution product images (canvas, acrylic mockups) perform best on Pinterest
- Always link back to your affiliate URL when sharing images
Get the embed code
In the Marketing Tools tab, click any thumbnail to open a popup with the ready-to-paste HTML embed code. Your affiliate ID is automatically included.

Common mistakes that get affiliate accounts suspended
You are strictly prohibited from bidding on Google Ads or any paid advertising using the keywords "pictorem" or "pictorem.com". This is a violation of the affiliate agreement and will result in immediate termination.
Do not create coupon or cashback pages for Pictorem without prior written approval. These sites attract deal-seekers and inflate returns, which is not beneficial to the program.
Never send unsolicited bulk emails (spam) promoting your affiliate links. This violates anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, CASL, GDPR) and our terms, and will result in account suspension.
You may not use your own affiliate link to place orders for yourself. Self-referral commissions will be reversed and repeated abuse leads to permanent account closure.
Do not publish reviews claiming to have ordered from Pictorem if you haven't. Authenticity is both a legal requirement (FTC, ASA) and key to long-term audience trust.
Avoid placing Pictorem affiliate links on adult, gambling, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate websites. This violates our brand guidelines and will result in disqualification.
8. Tracking & Optimising
Measure what works and double down on it
Use your affiliate dashboard
- Check your Affiliate Summary tab regularly to see clicks, orders, and commissions
- Identify which months or campaigns drove the most orders and replicate that content
- Track your click-to-order conversion rate — if clicks are high but orders are low, improve your landing page or content quality
Use UTM parameters for granular tracking
Add UTM parameters to your affiliate links to track exact sources in Google Analytics:
https://www.pictorem.com/canvas-print.html?refer=YOURCODE&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=canvas-review
Then compare performance across channels in Google Analytics to see which sources drive the most orders.
Key metrics to watch
- Clicks: total visits via your link
- Conversion rate: orders ÷ clicks
- Average order value: higher = more commission
- Top referrer: which content drives the most
