Affiliate company question - from Merchant standpoint
I have a physical product, a good one in the competitive weight loss market.
Is it really worth paying the big bucks from a merchant standpoint to go with a company like CJ or Linkshare? Or would be I be just as well off with a less expensive program like Shareasale?
I want to be aggressive about this, but I also don't want to flush money down the drain.
And let's say I go with a company like CJ. Why would any affiliate try out a new company like me, when they can be an affiliate for an established company like Walgreens that would sell a similar product? Obviously raising the commission would help, but is there a tipping point where it wouldn't be worth it?
I'm frustrated, because I have a good product with a great margin and no clear direction on how to sell it in a competitive industry.
