Seven Forgotten Things in Your Affiliate Program
GTOManagement is a Corporate Member of the Performance Marketing Association. This article originally appeared in FeedFront Magazine, Issue 21.
As a longtime outsourced affiliate manager, I’ve had the pleasure of managing and consulting with many companies about their affiliate programs. It never fails to surprise me that sometimes even the largest brands forget that the details can be so very important to the success of their affiliate programs.
Forgotten Item #1
One mistake I see many affiliate programs make is using the default network contact emails. First impressions mean a lot when it comes to application emails and, while not every network allows for customization, when it’s available you should take advantage of it.
Internet Sales Tax Reform Updates
The Performance Marketing Association’s mission is to advance and protect responsible performance marketing. One of our main goals is to advocate on behalf of the businesses that comprise the performance marketing industry and we’ve vigorously done so, since 2008.
As 2014 is shaping up to be an interesting year for performance marketing with Do-Not-Track, Consumer Privacy and FTC Compliance legislation on the table along with additional Internet sales tax reform legislation, the PMA will be working diligently to provide leadership and guidance to protect against the unconstitutional laws that threaten our industry.
To that end, we want to keep you updated on the Federal and State legislative activity concerning Internet sales tax (both passed and proposed), so that you can be aware of how it may impact your business.
