Affiliate Summit West: Strategies And Trends Defining The Conference
Affiliate Summit is one of the top events in performance and affiliate marketing, where brands and affiliates across all verticals and specialties come together to build partnerships and share industry insights with the rest of the affiliate world.
Affiliate Summit West 2021 is scheduled from Nov. 2 to 4 at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The three-day event is slated to make a promising in-person come back to the west coast for the first time in two years amidst the pandemic caused by COVID-19.
Zero Parallel’s top zeniths are returning to Las Vegas with intentions to generate constructive conversations around lead generation, conversion tactics, the e-commerce funnel, personalization, B2B marketing, and much more.
Here are some of the key takeaways and emerging trends we’ve learned from attending ASW as both attendees and exhibitors throughout the years.
3 Industry Trends Affecting Affiliate Marketing
1. Mixed Verticals Call For New Lead Solutions
More companies are transitioning into mixed verticals within their industries. For example, a company specializing in debt consolidation has begun exploring new financial ventures and avenues in loans, credit, and others.
With this type of expansion comes the need to provide companies with compatible leads. Zero Parallel has expanded its buyer list to facilitate smoother expansion for its affiliates and partners.
Contact Zero Parallel’s affiliate managers to learn which new verticals can lead to new opportunities.
2. Remarketing And Retargeting Products & Services
Companies have shifted toward utilizing more savvy marketing practices by remarketing or retargeting their products, services, and websites to prospects. They do this through distribution channels like SMS, direct mail, calls, emails, and other social media platforms.
To that end, Facebook has become one of the most frequently used social media platforms to remarket offers or products to generate targeted and unique traffic.
Increased touchpoints with target audiences increases traffic, which ultimately results in more leads coming through the pipeline.
Zero Parallel has opened its network to a broader range of qualified and trusted affiliates and buyers to ensure a smooth lead distribution process for all parties across the board.
3. Alleviating The Increase For Price Rejects
Affiliates have been engaging in a more advanced and strategic lead flow structure with a more sophisticated minimum tier structure referred to as “price reject.” This model has proven to increase performance and monetization on leads by an average of 30% in earnings.
Zero Parallel offers multiple tactics for publishers to achieve advanced lead setups and bidding systems to ensure that publishers make the best profit.
Open Market Comes To The Rescue
Whether you’re an affiliate who is generating more leads through retargeting or a buyer who is opening their operations to mixed verticals, everyone can benefit from Zero Parallel’s Open Market program.
Open Market gives members complimentary access to a ping tree with cutting-edge tech functionalities. Affiliates are able to sell their leads to multiple networks and buyers through a free platform with robust capabilities.
