Frequently Asked Questions
How does B2B affiliate marketing differ from B2C?
B2B affiliate marketing focuses on longer sales cycles, higher-value transactions, and relationship-building. Unlike B2C's impulse buys, B2B partners need to educate and influence deeply, often requiring more technical content and professional credibility.
What is incremental revenue in affiliate marketing?
Incremental revenue is revenue that wouldn't have occurred without the affiliate's influence. We focus on measuring true incrementality to ensure you're paying for new growth, not just subsidizing customers who would have bought anyway (often the case with coupon sites).
How do you vet affiliate partners?
We use a rigorous quality-first approach. We evaluate potential partners based on their content quality, audience relevance (ICP fit), traffic sources, and professional reputation. We prioritize partners who add value through education and trust.
How quickly can I expect results?
B2B programs take longer to ramp than B2C due to sales cycles. Typically, you'll see initial partner activation within 1-2 months, with meaningful revenue contribution starting around months 3-6 as partners build content and influence within their networks.
