What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing model in which an advertiser rewards one or more affiliate partners for each customer that has made a purchase on their site (through their direct effort).
As affiliate marketing is purely performance-based, your publishers will only receive a commission when the visitors they refer to your site, complete a specific action. As an advertiser, you do not take on any marketing risk as you only pay for the direct benefits you receive, such as a sale or a newsletter registration.
How Does Affiliate
Marketing Work?
Affiliate places your ad on their website.
You get the sale and your affiliate earns a commission.

​
How Affiliate Marketing works
​
​​​
Customer clicks the ad and is taken to your store.
​
​
Customer purchases something from your store which is tracked by the Grow platform.
​​
​
To ensure that your publishers are rewarded with their commissions, you will need to install a simple extension or add a snippet of JavaScript code to your site. Your publishers will then use “tracking” links, that they receive from us, to direct potential customers to your website, where they will continue to purchase.
​
Upon completion we combine the click information with the sales details to form a transaction which we then report to both you (as a sale) and your publishers (as earnings). This transaction is then invoiced and the commissions paid to your publishers accordingly.
​Your publishers will only receive a commission when the visitors they refer to your site complete a specific action.
​As an advertiser, you do not take on any marketing risk as you only pay for the direct benefits you receive, such as a sale, app download or a new newsletter registration.
​​​​​
​
The two compensation models available to you are:
​
-
Cost-per-Sale (CPA/CPS)
Commission as a percentage of the sale or fixed rate -
Cost-per-Lead (CPL)
Fixed rate commission per contact of an interested customer, e.g. registration
Affiliate Marketing Benefits
Affiliate marketing offers advertisers so many benefits over other marketing channels. Here are 5 easily realised benefits that we think you should know about:
Cost-Effective,
Performance Based
The main benefit of running an affiliate program is that it is entirely performance-based. You only pay for sales or leads that occur because of your publishers’ direct influence.
​​​
​​​
​​​
​​​​
Low Risk
Paying for sales and leads (as opposed to traffic – clicks or views) means that affiliate marketing is a very low risk marketing strategy. Your ad spend will directly relate to an acquisition (sale or lead) that drives revenue back into your business.
​​​​
​​​​
Easy to Track
Grow provides you with useful statistics and information that help you overall, by providing insights on clicks, conversion rates, return on ad spend (ROAS), ad impressions, sales information, and much more.
​​​
​​​
​​​
No Previous Experience Required
You do not need to be an affiliate marketing guru to run a successful program. Simply partner with the right publishers, sit back, and watch the sales roll in.
​​​
​​​
​​​
​​​
Quickly Improves Image and Increases Presence
By recruiting reputable partners to your affiliate program, you will take advantage of their vast audiences, which quickly enables you to build a recognisable brand online with minimal effort. Likewise, customers are more likely to trust a community or site that they visit regularly, over the brand trying to sell to them directly.​​

How We Do It
When you join Grow, we provide you with the tools needed to search for and recruit your own publishers from within our network. We also present your affiliate program to our network of more than 180,000 active affiliates. Here, they are able to access your marketing assets (banners, product feeds, voucher codes, etc.), learn of any restrictions by viewing your terms and conditions and discover more about your company, its products/services and what your affiliate program offers them. This helps them to decide whether to promote your brand or not.
Once your program is up and running, Grow equips you with tools and real-time insights to manage your affiliate program with ease. You stay in control while focusing on what matters most—driving sales and growing your business.
For all recorded activity, Grow presents you with useful statistics and information that provide insights on clicks, conversion rates, return on ad spend (ROAS), ad impressions, sales information, and much more.
Sales figures are for illustration only.
