Tier-3 includes countries that are considered to have lower levels of economic development, smaller markets compared to Tier-1 and Tier-2 regions. They often include countries from regions like Africa, parts of Asia, and Latin America.

Tier-3 Countries Meaning

Tier-3 are countries where there is a lot of cheap traffic, but the purchasing power of the population is small. There is a special cultural specificity and language differences, which are important when choosing an offer. Not all users still have bank cards, so the availability and sophistication of Internet marketing is much lower. The competition in these GEOs is lower, you don’t need big budgets for the campaign, but the bids are also much lower. These GEOs have the most traffic, but it is not of the highest quality.

How to Promote Offers in Tier-3 Countries?

If you choose Tier-3 regions, you need to remember some key points. First of all, consider that the level of optimization required increases with the amount of traffic available. It is better to select a CPA network with deep tracking system to ensure convenient management of your campaigns.

Then, choosing an offer, examine the availability of global and local payment methods. Many Tier-3 countries have unique payment systems or specific preferences in transactions. Providing a variety of payment methods to make purchases that align with the local rules help to remove barriers and increase conversion rates.

One of the most crucial points is localization of content. To reach the audience, affiliates should translate the ad texts into the language of the chosen country. Also creatives have to resonate with local culture and religion.
