Affiliate Marketing
A cost-effective approach to business growth.
Grow performance-based and risk-free with affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is an important part of every online merchant’s performance marketing mix. It is an online marketing channel for bundling multiple collaborations with different websites that want to monetize their traffic by advertising shops or deals.
It is controlled and managed through an affiliate program offered by the advertiser to affiliate publishers who join on the advertiser’s terms.
Publisher compensation is primarily performance-based: the advertiser pays a commission when a sale or lead is generated and validated. The amount of this commission is determined by the advertiser, making affiliate marketing an extremely low-risk channel for advertisers.
How to excel with affiliate marketing
Specialized knowledge is a must.
Affiliate marketing has a lot to offer advertisers, but there are some challenges.
You need to have in-depth knowledge of your market(s) to find a commission model that keeps your cost of sales low and still attracts publishers. You need to provide the right technical infrastructure, ad media, information, and more to enable publishers to successfully advertise your offering.
And because affiliate marketing is an open marketplace, it also attracts scammers. It takes knowledge and experience to maintain high publisher quality in your program and to prevent paying commissions that are not connected to real value.
It’s all about making connections
Affiliate marketing is attractive and scalable – but it is also a lot of work.
It is a people business and you work with dozens or hundreds of partners. It’s important to be well-connected, to stay in touch with all relevant players and to keep abreast of the latest developments in the market. To have the most attractive publishers in the program, you’ll need to actively reach out to them. Securing the most attractive promotional placements is another recurring task. And a sophisticated tracking setup needs to be implemented and maintained.
Especially if you’re operating an international program and/or using more than one affiliate network, things can quickly get complex – in terms of communication and maintenance, but also in terms of data management and information aggregation.
