If you’ve just launched your brand and introduced your first product, full-scope affiliate management might not be a wise investment at the moment. We always recommend that a brand have spent at least 2-3 years in their market with considerable YoY growth, organic press coverage, and have the margins and rates to offer a competitive affiliate commission before they consider working with Praize for full management.

It’s also a healthy time period to gain an understanding of average metrics and program capabilities, so as to appropriately inform the strategy for continuing to grow your affiliate program long term.
