More than affiliate management

More than managing a network account.

Opening an affiliate programme is easy.

Building a productive network of publishers that consistently generates good customers is much harder.

We help advertisers manage the complete channel, combining commercial strategy, publisher relationships, technology and performance optimisation.V

enturist can work alongside your existing marketing team or take responsibility for the day-to-day management of your affiliate programme.

What we do

Affiliate strategy

Build a channel that makes commercial sense.

We start with the economics.

Who are you trying to acquire? What is a customer worth? What can you afford to pay? Which publisher types are likely to produce incremental customers?

From there, we build an affiliate strategy around your wider customer acquisition objectives.

We can help with:

  • Affiliate channel strategy
  • Commercial models
  • CPA and commission structures
  • Publisher segmentation
  • Programme planning
  • Customer acquisition economics
  • Channel forecasting
  • Performance targets
  • Growth planning

The objective isn't simply more affiliate activity. It's more commercially valuable customers.

Network management

Get more from platforms such as Awin and Webgains.

Affiliate networks provide the infrastructure.

They don't automatically provide the strategy, relationships and ongoing management required to make a programme successful.

Venturist can help advertisers manage programmes through platforms including Awin and Webgains, as well as direct publisher relationships.

We can support:

  • Network programme management
  • Programme setup and optimisation
  • Publisher approvals
  • Commission structures
  • Offers and incentives
  • Tracking implementation
  • Creative management
  • Publisher communications
  • Reporting
  • Network account reviews
  • Commercial negotiations

We work for the advertiser, focusing on what will produce the best commercial result for your business.

Publisher recruitment

Find publishers that can actually deliver.

A large affiliate programme isn't necessarily a good affiliate programme.

The right partners matter more than the number of partners.

We identify, approach and develop relationships with publishers that are relevant to your customers and your commercial objectives.

This can include:

  • Affiliate recruitment
  • Publisher research
  • Partnership outreach
  • Commercial negotiation
  • Publisher onboarding
  • Comparison sites
  • Content publishers
  • Voucher and incentive partners
  • Specialist vertical publishers
  • Strategic partnerships

We don't just wait for publishers to discover your programme. We actively look for opportunities to grow it.

Affiliate programme management

Keep publishers engaged and performance moving.

Strong affiliate programmes require ongoing attention.

We can provide day-to-day management of your channel, either alongside your existing marketing team or as an outsourced affiliate function.

Support can include:

  • Publisher communication
  • Performance monitoring
  • Campaign planning
  • Promotional calendars
  • Offer management
  • Commission changes
  • Publisher development
  • Network management
  • Reporting
  • Commercial reviews
  • Identifying new opportunities

The aim is to continually improve both the scale and quality of the business generated through affiliates.

Proven results

Growing affiliate sales for Releaf.

Strategy matters, but ultimately affiliate marketing has to deliver measurable commercial results.

Releaf, a current Venturist Solutions client, operates in the UK medical cannabis market.

Through hands-on programme management, publisher recruitment, relationship development and ongoing optimisation, we helped increase monthly affiliate sales from 38 to 485.

That's more than 12x growth in monthly affiliate sales.

Our focus is on finding the right publishers, improving partner performance and turning affiliate marketing into a scalable, commercially valuable customer acquisition channel.

Performance & optimisation

More traffic isn't the objective. Better performance is.

Affiliate performance doesn't stop when somebody clicks a link.

We look at what happens throughout the customer journey.

That includes:

  • Affiliate conversion rates
  • Landing pages
  • Mobile journeys
  • Calls to action
  • Application and checkout funnels
  • Creative performance
  • Publisher-level conversion
  • Customer acquisition cost
  • Customer quality
  • Revenue per visitor
  • Lifetime value where appropriate

Our wider expertise in websites, technology and conversion optimisation means we can address problems beyond the affiliate platform itself.

If the traffic is good but the landing page isn't converting, we can help fix the landing page.

If the tracking isn't working properly, we can help fix the tracking.

If an integration is holding the programme back, we can help build it.

Tracking & technology

Make sure the numbers can be trusted.

Successful affiliate marketing depends on accurate tracking.

We can work with your affiliate network, internal team and technology partners to make sure customer activity is being recorded correctly.

Our support can include:

  • Awin tracking
  • Webgains tracking
  • Conversion tracking
  • Tracking audits
  • Server-to-server tracking
  • Postback integrations
  • APIs
  • Data feeds
  • Attribution
  • Reporting dashboards
  • Technical troubleshooting

And because Venturist has its own development capability, we can often help implement the solution rather than simply recommending one.

Affiliate marketing for regulated businesses

Experience in more complex customer journeys.

Venturist has particular experience in sectors including consumer finance, fintech and other regulated digital markets.

These programmes can require more oversight than conventional ecommerce affiliate marketing.

We understand considerations around:

  • Publisher approval
  • Customer journeys
  • Financial promotions
  • Lead generation
  • Comparison websites
  • Advertiser oversight
  • Customer quality
  • Tracking and attribution
  • Commercial arrangements
  • Partner monitoring

Where specific regulatory advice is required, businesses should obtain appropriate compliance advice, but our experience means we understand the operational environment these affiliate programmes sit within.

Technology that supports the channel

Marketing and development under one roof.

Affiliate programmes often reach a point where growth depends on technology.

Perhaps you need a new landing page.

A better API integration.

A bespoke publisher feed.

Server-side tracking.

A reporting dashboard.

Or simply development work that your internal technology team doesn't have capacity to prioritise.

Venturist's development capability allows us to support those requirements directly.

Alongside our UK team, our development operation in Vietnam provides access to experienced, cost-effective technical resource.

We can support:

  • Affiliate tracking integrations
  • Landing pages
  • APIs
  • Data feeds
  • Reporting tools
  • Affiliate portals
  • Bespoke platforms
  • Automation
  • Website development
  • Ongoing technical support
