Affiliate marketing allows influencers, ambassadors, and publishers to promote a brand’s products or services in exchange for a commission. With so many marketing strategies to employ, why should brands use affiliate marketing?

Lauren Lee, an e-commerce expert, explains that this type of marketing is low-risk, as businesses only pay for results. Affiliates can track campaigns and provide real-time feedback. It’s also an effective method to reach new customers with the utilization of a performance affiliate. Performance affiliates serve as media buyers to purchase ads from Google, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, driving traffic to a company’s website. There are various types of affiliates to choose from, so it’s vital that a brand understands which program is compatible with its mission and goals.
