Affiliate Summit East - Wow!
Posted by Janet Attard

I’ve been at Affiliate Summit East for the last two days.( I was here to speak on yesterday's panel about what makes a great affiliate program.) As usual, Shawn Collins and Missy Ward put together a fantastic event - one that's proven to be a really useful learning and networking event for attendees. And this year more than 2000 agencies, affiliates, merchants, networks, and vendors have turned out at Affiliate East.

I have to be back in NY this afternoon (leaving to catch a plane in 15 minutes), so I’m a bit bummed that I couldn’t stay for the final day. But during the two days I have been here, I’ve met a lot of people and hope to develop long-term business relationships with a couple of them.

For those of you not familiar with affiliate marketing – or perhaps have misconceptions about it - affiliate marketing is, in my mind, at least, just another twist on advertising. Advertisers (merchants) pay publishers or others who have a way to deliver marketing messages online based on performance rather than page views or size of the audience a publication reaches. When the right merchants hook up with the right publishers with the right deals in place, it’s a win-win way of marketing that takes a lot of the guess work out of advertising .

I attended affiliate summit 2 years ago and have not been able to get out there since. I’ll have to plan ahead for next year because it was a valuable networking experience!

I heartily agree - done right affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful, transparent ways to partner and attract more clients. Recent research reinforces the instinctive notion that we place more trust on referrals from people/orgs. we trust than from “strangers.”

Being new to affiliate marketing this article has given me a more positive view on what one can accomplish in this field of business. I look forward to networking with you in the very near future. Thanks for posting.

Follow the link above - it will take you to the Affiliate Summit site. You can check out their other events - they have a social network summit coming up in October, and then there’s Affiliate Summit West in early 2009.
