What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is one of the most cost effective form of advertising money can buy, its referral and loyalty based marketing that assists online merchants in acquiring new customers or leads, assists with creating a new brand, raises brand awareness, reminds customers to come back again and again. It’s measurable, its transparent and no decent converting website should be without an affiliate program.
Affiliates never fail to impress us with the different ways they can promote an online merchant to name but a few ways, the content rich website, the shopping portal, the paid search affiliate, the incentive site affiliates to the innovative affiliates combining offline PR with online technology. No tenancy fees, no CPC deals its 100% performance based marketing, the only time a merchant ever pays out is when an action has occurred, commission on a sale or lead also known as a revenue share. Think about it…10% of a shopping basket value just got you a new customer and what is the life time value of your customer?
