  1. Good piece. Really interesting to see Alison Guise’s thoughts on how things will progress in 2009. As she says, it will be a challenge for us, but affiliate marketing is better placed than any other industry.

    Although it’s stressful being paid on performance, that’s the way marketing is going, and in this recession I’d rather be in affiliate marketing than TV, radio, print, display or anything else.

  2. Thanks Nadeem. I agree – an especially good time to be online.

    The key thing to remember is that, although extremely effective, affiliate marketing is not a miracle channel. New entrants must remember that as a rule of thumb you get out what you put in. One thing for sure is that it will be a very interesting year with many lessons learnt.

  3. “You get out what you put in” a very valid comment Hannah. Affiliate Marketing isn’t a silver bullet however, integrated within a wider marketing programme AM will stand up as a highly efficient means of customer acquisition.

    Ali’s comments are indeed true with regards voucher codes – advertisers with the help or their agencies will need to clarify the true customer journey and then evaulate the channels which benefit their business to drive profitable volume.

    Thanks, Chris

"Advertisers: an effective way to get more exposure for your brand, generate increased sales, and encourage publishers to engage with you is to launch a competition in which publishers are asked to place a banner or text link to your website on one of their homepages. They have to email you a screenshot of the advert and the page URL. After a certain period of time, you will randomly select a winner from the entrants.

Many publishers will keep the link to your site after the competition has ended, and because they have emailed you, you can communicate with them to drive more sales for your business and enable them to earn more commissions."
