Connecting Canadian businesses with affiliates who drive sales and growth.
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based partnership where an affiliate acts as the middleman between a buyer and a seller. The affiliate earns a commission by recommending, linking, or referring customers to a seller’s product or service through a special tracking link.
When a purchase is made through that link, the affiliate earns a commission.
Three parties are involved:
Seller – The business offering the product or service.
Affiliate – The marketer promoting it.
Buyer – The customer making the purchase.
This creates a “win-win-win” scenario: the buyer gets what they want, the seller makes a sale, and the affiliate earns income.
It is important to understand the mechanics of affiliate marketing, how it works and the key parties involved in the process.
You can promote affiliate products through product reviews, product comparisons, in your email newsletter, on your blog, through paid ads, and more.
An affiliate link is a unique link provided by the merchant to affiliates, which includes a tracking code that allows the merchant to monitor and attribute sales or conversions to the affiliate.
Brand affiliates can be a wide range of individuals and organizations, including:
1- Content Websites
2- Blogging Websites
3- Coupon websites
4- Deal/discount websites
5- Reward/loyalty websites
6- Brand influencers
7- Social media personalities
These affiliates promote your products or services to their audiences, driving awareness and sales.
