Affiliate management at it's finest

What is Affiliate Management?

Affiliate management involves overseeing and optimizing relationships with affiliate partners. This process includes recruiting, onboarding, tracking performance, and paying commissions to ensure successful partnerships and sustainable growth for your brand.

This can involve taking care of every aspect of your affiliate program, from developing the right relationships and managing recruitment, to driving traffic and implementing a tracking solution for your affiliate channel. Affiliate marketing remains one of the most successful mediums of online marketing driving more customers to your e-commerce or lead generation website in the industry. Outsourced affiliate programs offer a very attractive business model of revenue sharing from third party sites.  However, an affiliate program not only needs quality content but also very careful management to get the right results and drive actual growth. Without the right management, your company can easily be exposed to dishonest practices in this space. If this happens, you could lose not only potential sales but your company’s reputation could be severely dented. Getting visitors to your site and turning them into customers is the goal for any e-commerce enterprise. Affiliate marketing, where third parties advertise your products and drive customers to your site for a commission, is a highly cost-effective marketing strategy for any existing website. You only pay a commission when a prospect has been confirmed, or the sale has been made. With a large number of skilled affiliates, you can see your sales grow significantly.  This can be done from promotions, social media posts, coupon-based sites, pay per click advertising in the search engines and content marketing driving traffic to the merchant sites through affiliate links.

Choosing the right affiliate management solution can vary on several factors. Pricing ranges, software solutions, customer loyalty, marketing platforms and customer success stories are all part of finding the right outsourced affiliate program manager that fits your priced plans.  Our marketing campaigns work as affiliate management solutions and we are a true partner program leveraging the best affiliate management software (our own) as well as affiliate partners.  Start with a program evaluation today and you can see what a marketing strategy from a professional affiliate team tracking and managing recruited affiliates looks like.  Our outsourced affiliate program is top notch and our business development team works with media buying, referral marketing and affiliate link and affiliate tracking to drive revenue growth, higher conversion rates to be known as one of the best affiliate management companies out there.  Grow your business with Advertise Purple today!

Managing Different Types of Affiliate Marketers

There are thousands of merchants on the internet and wrapping your head around the right ones can be a work of art in itself. Many companies will hire an in-house manager to help generate revenue from this channel, but find limitations early on after not having the rolodex that it takes to succeed like an affiliate agency.

Affiliate merchants can generate traffic from pay per click marketing, generating quality content that ranks on the search engines, leveraging their social media following or using home page placements or email blasts.

Notwithstanding, poorly managed affiliate programs attract rogue affiliates that engage in deceptive practices. This can include false advertising, trademark infringement and spamming (to name but a few), which can cause permanent damage to your business.

An affiliate program requires careful affiliate tracking and management to avoid these pitfalls. This way, you will attract quality affiliates and get the best sales results possible through your digital marketing efforts. Achieving this yourself can be a challenge though, so outsourcing your affiliate program management may be the best solution. Companies that specialize in this area have professional affiliate program managers and network program managers, who are well qualified to attract and oversee advertisers in an affiliate program.

Reputable program management companies will handle all aspects of an affiliate campaign, including finding suitable affiliates, vetting their sales and paying them. These digital marketing companies manage the entire affiliate sales process, and provide merchants with your approved tools and marketing resources for promoting the product. Managing the sales is just as important as managing any other aspect of your sales process. This is why outsourcing affiliate management can be the best way to ensure that your affiliate program operates effectively.

Attempting affiliate management yourself can waste a lot of time and resources you could instead be spending on your business.

Beyond Affiliate Marketing Consulting..

Unlike other types of advertising and promotions, affiliate marketing doesn’t involve guesswork. After your affiliate manager has begun management of your campaign and performed outreach to our first group of affiliates, you only pay when sales are generated which reduces the element of risk that’s inherent to other channels. This is why it’s become one of the most popular forms of marketing and continues to grow year on year. The performance-based approach means your budget is invested in activities that generate a return on investment. You’ll still benefit from all the less tangible aspects like increased brand awareness but you only pay when customers make a purchase (and don’t return it). At Advertise Purple, we take affiliate management a step further. Having worked with hundreds of affiliates and companies in the industry across the USA, we have a huge amount of data and insights. We know what works well and which approaches drive the greatest results. This enables us to maximize value for our clients beyond simple management of their program. Your affiliate manager can draw on the best practices and learnings from previous campaigns to ensure that your affiliate program performs to its highest potential. That’s why we have an in-house team of data scientists who can analyze vast amounts of information across several programs, then advise on the best approach to take for maximal results.
