How affiliates drive more traffic and revenue

LAUNCHING

Launching your first affiliate program

Jumpstart an affiliate program like a pro, even when it’s your first time.

The manual stuff costs you big time — and money

Small and medium-sized businesses spend a third of their time dealing with inefficient processes which cost them an average of $2.6 million annually. Find out what the right partnership relationship management (PRM) software should do for every B2B SaaS company.

"We are solving the pain of managing hundreds, potentially thousands of referral, affiliate and solution partners. This can typically become a very admin-heavy job, especially when having to deal with the payouts, which Partnerstack fully automates. The main benefit is probably that I can keep developing partnerships at our company being a 1-person team instead of having to hire people for redundant partner-management tasks!"

Get your boss on board

An affiliate program can be run by a single person, but launching it takes a team. Here’s how to sell your partnerships strategy up the chain of command and make it a no-brainer for your boss and internal teams to buy into.

ELEVATING

Make the greatest impact by expanding your reach

Whether you’re launching a new program or scaling up an existing one, you’ll need a handle on optimizing your growth — otherwise, chaos is just around the corner. Here’s how you can level up your affiliate program.

Looka grew its affiliate program to drive one-third of profits

Organic traffic drives in new users, but what happens when that influx suddenly dries up? Looka had this problem. See how they flipped their losses into wins with the right partner engagement strategy and acquisition channel.

“Set them up for success with all the resources they need. Give them an incentive to put in the effort, whether it’s through a tiered commission, increased bonuses, or by showing them what a successful partnership looks like.”
