FAQ

What is affiliate marketing?

In its simplest terms, affiliate marketing is rewarding a publisher for creating a qualified action on your site. That action could be entering details in a form, purchasing a product, or signing up to a subscription plan. How you reward that publisher is up to you as a brand. Typically this will be a cash incentive, either in the form of a percentage of order value (commission) or a single payment amount per action. Sometimes you might like to combine the two and offer a commission plus bonus for every qualified action.

Should I hire an affiliate specialist?

A dedicated affiliate specialist comes with a depth of channel experience to deliver expertise and insights to be able to succeed. This could be competitor or vertical experience, partner relationships, contract negotiations, proven case studies and much more.

What is my expected sales mix from affiliates?

This can depend on your attribution model. But, most brands can expect a sales mix of between 10-25% from their affiliate marketing activity.

Should I launch an affiliate program?

In a word, yes. Your competitors are probably already doing it, and the flexibility of the channel makes it accessible for both btc and btb businesses.

How long till I see results?

Core partners in the affiliate channel like cashback and discount, operate lower in the customer sales funnel. If brand awareness is strong it can be typical to see orders coming through days after launch. Every brand is different, and I build a specific strategy for launch on a brand by brand basis.

What about international strategies?

The key foundation would always start with detailed market research and publisher feedback. This establishes potential market penetration, and helps build out a more detailed affiliate strategy for the chosen territory.
