How do the best account managers utilise data to maximise affiliate performance? ๐Ÿค”

Traditionally, affiliate managers spend a significant portion of their time focused on the network or platform they manage. However, there is so much more potential that lies outside of that. The best account managers are leveraging data from third parties to gain a deeper understanding of demographics, consumer interests, and more.

Furthermore, your affiliate team shouldn't operate in isolation from your other team channels, such as SEO. There's incredible potential for cross-pollination! ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’ป

Optimisation vs recruitment, what should you prioritise?

From a recruitment perspective, affiliate managers are always driven to bring more partners into their programs. It's a strategy they rely on for revenue, success, and growth. They believe that recruiting more partners is the key to unlocking greater potential. ๐Ÿš€

However, If you already have a mature program and aim to increase revenue, is it more effective to focus on optimising existing relationships?

Is recruitment underrated or overrated? ๐Ÿ’ก

Broadly speaking, it's underrated in the industry. Many claim to prioritise recruitment, but in reality, they get entangled in managing existing partners, optimising performance and handling payments.

The truth is, recruitment is hard work. It demands considerable effort and the identification of suitable partners is often limited by technology, hindering the process. However, if done effectively, recruitment can be the catalyst for building a highly successful program.

Creating luxury content and collaborating with premium content partners to enhance brand campaigns. ๐Ÿฅ‡

In September 2022, Ralph Lauren launched their 'Polo ID' collection on a global scale. Silverbean worked closely with Ralph Lauren to combine this key moment for the brand within their FY23 strategy, with a particular focus on collaborating with premium UK content partners. The strategy was to focus on upper funnel activity that would introduce the collection to new, highly relevant audiences and therefore, creating sale success!

Take a look at what Danielle H., Digital Acquisition Manager at Ralph Lauren, had to say about the Polo ID collection success. ๐Ÿ‘ โคต

How do you differentiate yourself when it comes to outreach and getting in front of an affiliate? ๐ŸŒŸ

It all starts with a consultative framework, encompassing the benefits, measurables, culture, and timeframe from both sides. Put yourself in the shoes of the affiliate and envision what the brand wants from a partnership.

It's not just about selling the relationship; it's about painting the journey to ROI.

Earlier this month, at our Newcastle HQ, we held a fundraiser to help raise money for the people in Turkey and Syria, following the devasting earthquakes. Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed and survivors are now facing freezing conditions and need urgent aid.

Here's what our team got up to:

The Big Swap! - we invited everyone to have a clear out and bring in their old clothes and homeware items that they no longer want and held a mini market where our team could donate ยฃ5 to participate. Everything left over was donated to St Vincents, a community support project helping people in the North East. ๐Ÿ‘—

Bakes & Cakes - To make sure we were all fed and watered for the Big Swap, we held a bake sale in the office where our team made donations in exchange for homemade treats. ๐Ÿฐ

Raffle - ยฃ5 for a raffle entry. A great way to get all our friends and family involved too and hopefully win a prize hamper! (local business vouchers were up for grabs). ๐ŸŽซ

Lets Run; Turkey - Syria - The challenge is to run 59 miles, the distance between the two earthquakes, in the month of May. ๐Ÿƒ

We've successfully raised ยฃ411, huge well done for everyone for getting involved!

Once youโ€™ve identified a partner you want to work with, what should your approach be to recruit them? ๐Ÿค”

Recruiting new partners can be hard and often the amount of effort it takes is underrated. It requires consistency, persistence and the ability to differentiate yourself from all of the other brands out there. You need to demonstrate your value through insights and be able to sell yourself as to why the partner is the right fit for you.

Is there an arm of salesmanship when it comes to recruiting an affiliate partner? ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿ’ฒ

70% of partnerships fail to meet their aligned goals. Could this be down to failing to communicate effectively at the recruitment stage? Fundamentally, a great salesperson is one who focuses on building quality relationships, where they explain the mutual benefit very clearly. A great salesperson should be transparent, persuasive and ethical. Qualities of a great affiliate manager!

After working with The BodyShop since March 2022, they recently approached us to help aid the growth of their EMEA influencer program.

Together with the BodyShop team, Silverbean created and tested a number of different frameworks to build out a strong and successful influencer marketing campaign to then be used as the blueprint for future years and for other regions to build upon. We did this by launching campaign specific tactics,to track performance, increasing the demographic of the channel and setting specific KPIs to measure our long term success. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

What are the pains an Affiliate Manager faces with recruitment?

The pains of recruitment can tie into the pains of the entire universal journey of an Affiliate program. Once partnerships are a channel that your brand is looking to explore, the initial discovery piece is a common pain many account managers face.

A huge pain point for account managers within that discovery piece is data. Getting access to the correct data is something that can be difficult. It can also be time-consuming, inaccurate and scattered across many channels.

Without having the right data at hand, itโ€™s extremely hard to establish whether a partner is a good fit for your brand.

Before realising the potential effective recruitment can have, itโ€™s first essential to understand fully what recruitment within Affiliate marketing is.

Recruitment is the process of identifying potential partners who are suited to the ecosystem you are building within your program. Once you have identified the partner you want to collaborate with, the challenge then becomes how to effectively recruit them.

The goal of recruitment is to expand the reach of your program by acquiring new affiliates to promote your brand, generate more sales and drive revenue growth. Effective recruitment is essential for building a successful affiliate marketing program! ๐Ÿ“ˆ
