Questions worth answering.
What does launching an affiliate program include?
The scope can cover program design, offer and incentives, platform configuration, tracking requirements, policies, onboarding, launch materials, and the first recruitment plan. We agree the exact implementation responsibilities before work begins.
Do we need to choose a platform first?
No. Your buyer journey, economics, partner needs, and tracking requirements should inform the platform decision. If you already have a platform, we assess whether it supports the agreed program.
How long does an affiliate program launch take?
Timing depends on platform access, integrations, tracking validation, policy and offer approvals, and the materials your team supplies. The proposal sets milestones around those dependencies; there is no universal launch timeline.
Does launch support include ongoing management?
Ongoing management is a separate scope. Launch support establishes the program foundation and handoff. We can discuss management if your team needs someone to operate the channel afterward.
How is the launch priced?
The fee reflects program design, configuration, integration needs, launch materials, and handoff requirements. We define the scope and fee structure in a written proposal.
Are we ready to launch?
A useful starting point is a product customers value, a defined buyer, economics that can support a partner offer, and internal capacity to provide assets, approvals, and tracking support. We assess gaps before deciding the launch sequence.
