Affiliate Marketing
Performance partnerships that drive qualified, intent-led traffic — paid on outcome, not on promise.
What actually goes wrong
Affiliate programmes get launched and then left to accumulate coupon and brand-bidding partners who cannibalise sales you would have made anyway.
Why this matters. An affiliate programme is only incremental if it is actively curated.

What changes.
Stated as changes in how the business runs, because those are the ones we control.
Incremental sales
Not commission on sales you already had.
Qualified traffic
Intent-led audiences from content partners.
Policy enforced
Brand terms protected.
Measured ROI
Validated, not self-reported.
Every recommendation shows its arithmetic.
Spend judged against contribution margin, so a campaign that raises revenue and lowers profit is visible in the same report.
