What I wish Shareasale would do.
Written by Wade Tonkin on December 17, 2007 – 8:47 pm -I love Shareasale. It’s my favorite secular affiliate network. I love Brian Littleton - the president of Shareasale and Carolyn Tang, his Client
Services Director, who I have known about as long as anyone in affiliate marketing. I’m not sure if they are Christian folks - have never discussed this with them, but I LOVE how they treat people- that whole Golden Rule thing comes into play. (there is a lot of love in this room)
I do wish that they’d do a few things to make affiliate managers jobs a bit easier.
- Make sure that affiliates names were collected and always available to the merchant.
- Make sure that the affiliates email address was available for viewing an export. ( I like to see that affiliates are applying from their own domain. I am not a huge fan of free email addresses from affiliates)
- I’d love to have access to phone numbers as well so I could easily call someone to chat on how we can better do business together.
I’d love to have this info available to pull into a Contact Manager like The Partner Maker or Goldmine to help me beat my ADD and keep in better contact.
I understand the arguments that all the networks have on keeping some control of the affiliates information so it isn’t abused, and so affiliates can’t be recruited away from the network. In SAS’s situation though, affiliates work with them because they love them, and the way they are treated and respected. In many cases they have turned their back on bigger networks because of bad support, or toleration of bad behavior by predatory affiliates.
God Bless Brian for setting a high standard.
Affiliate Marketing is a relationship business though and I would love to have more information at my disposal to build those relationships.
Some reporting on delivery rate of emails through the system would be cool as well
God Bless,
Wade
