Personalizing the Affiliate Experience
We’ll discuss how you can establish and grow an affiliate program from the ground-up by identifying the key strategic partners for your business and using a personalized approach to building relationships around mutual goals, objectives and challenges.
Many affiliates talk to each other so reputation is key as you establish a new program. Once your integrations are in place for your first partners, go above-and-beyond to make these partnerships successful using consistent communication, testing, flexible payouts, and more.
Establishing successful relationships makes your affiliate program better known in your industry so outreach and onboarding of other affiliate partners becomes easier over time.
