Tapping into Affiliate marketing is like…
Tapping into an online sales force!
Affiliate marketing is a pay per performance marketing model in which the advertisers (merchants) compensate publishers (affiliates) for results, such as making a purchase or filling up a form. This compensation model is in essence the modern version of the “finders’-fee” model, where individuals who introduce new clients to a business are compensated.
The advertisers only pay their publishers when the new client introduced results in a sale, or a lead, making it a low-risk, high-reward environment. Affiliate marketing involves a high degree of relationship building and networking with the right strategy, as compared to other traditional internet marketing such as email, pay per click, social marketing and search engine optimization.
Why Do You Need Affiliate Marketing?
Internet Advertising Bureau’s affiliate marketing council reported on June 22, 2012 that affiliate marketing is expected to grow significantly in the next year. The survey revealed that 77% of advertisers increased their affiliate marketing spend this year, while 71% expected spend to grow even more.
Affiliate marketing continues to be seen as a legitimate and cost-effective way for businesses to market themselves and we have seen companies from Amazon to Groupon having huge results in maintaining a strong presence in affiliate marketing. As the industry grows, expect to see more networks, advertisers and agencies stepping up their games.
