The set up.

A globally renowned luxury retailer aimed to optimize and diversify its affiliate programs by expanding into new e-commerce engines and driving incremental sales. The retailer had outgrown the limitations of its legacy networks, facing challenges like poor controls, tracking issues, and a lack of SKU-level reporting. To streamline operations and future-proof its affiliate strategy, the brand sought advanced technology and account management support, with an eventual long-term goal to in-house program management. The retailer desired meaningful, diversified, and mutually successful direct partnerships throughout the partner lifecycle.

The treatment.

With a long-term vision for in-house management, the retailer aimed to enhance partner discovery, selection, and strategic control. Consolidating affiliate activity with Partnerize offered the potential for greater efficiency, actionable insights, and long-term growth. The migration to the Partnerize platform and full-service offering facilitated a seamless transition. Partnerize's API migration tracker, combined with a clear timeline, ensured that the program launch was smooth and timely.

Cross-departmental collaboration protected revenue while eliminating downtime. Partnerize streamlined the retailer's existing partner ecosystem using the Discover tool to align and recruit new partners tailored to strategic goals. A probability analysis framework ensured that investments in top partners consistently delivered strong ROI. The implementation of server-to-server tracking future-proofed the program against browser changes and enabled flexible commission structures, including default, partner-specific, and product/event-specific commissions.

The results.

The migration eliminated $250,000 in agency and network fees, reinvested within the channel to build strong, diverse first-party relationships.

 

Key outcomes of migrating to Partnerize included:

 

  • Seamless transition of the top 30 partners with zero revenue impact.
  • Optimized programs using server-to-server tracking, supporting digital initiatives and safeguarding against third-party tracking changes.
  • Incremental traffic growth and a notable increase in order value.
