The importance of affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing can’t be overemphasized in terms of revenue and growth of businesses, but more importantly, it is extremely important because it opens up the door for other options in marketing channels. Affiliate marketing 2022 is a form of marketing which relies on the sales and promotion of products by an affiliated party.
On the flip side, when affiliate marketing works well, companies can benefit significantly in terms of reach and exposure which can be promoted by using affiliate marketing programs. In other words, affiliate marketing has the power to reach people you might never reach and increase your brand’s reach among the general public, because you have the power to give them deals and discounts when they click the affiliate links.
Types of affiliate marketing programs
Affiliate programs fall into two broad categories, I think. The first is an open exchange program (or “certified links”). Here, the affiliate earns a commission when the reader (aka customer) makes a purchase from the merchant using a link from the affiliate site.
The other is a “closed exchange program” (or “certified links”). Here, the affiliate earns a commission when the customer makes a purchase directly from the merchant using the affiliate link.
For example, consider the “Marine Pro” “Gift This!” program. Here’s a screenshot of an advertisement on the site that I took with my smartphone:
While I think this site is well-known, it’s not the most sophisticated affiliate site. To start with, it takes you to the Marine Pro website.
Who can use an affiliate marketing program?
An affiliate marketing program is basically a channel through which you can attract your customers to buy your products or services through different promotions, special offers or sales, without having to promote directly from your website.
For example, someone who sees a banner ad from your website and is interested in the product, instead of going directly to your website to learn more, can click through to your affiliate link and proceed to learn more about the product and then buy it from you.
Affiliate marketing has become a common channel for both B2B and B2C companies.
How to choose the right affiliate marketing program
The bottom line for both startups and big companies is that running an affiliate marketing program is a win-win situation.
Visa, for example, paid $25 million in 2017 to affiliate networks to sell Visa branded products. This allowed the company to take care of its long-term online marketing strategies and pay affiliates for carrying out sales through affiliate marketing programs.
If you run an affiliate marketing program and charge an affiliate fee of just a few dollars, you can earn millions in profit a year.
