From time–to–time, plans fall through and there can be pressure to find alternative arrangements for pre-budgeted campaigns. Additionally, relationships sometimes require a spark to reignite engagement.
That is why Commission Factory has built a tool that allows for ultimate flexibility, whether that is negotiating a pre-determined CPA increase or agreeing on a fixed fee, the system can handle multiple requirements that meet unique circumstances. The Placement Marketplace is the perfect solution for promoting a new deal to fill the gap, or rebuilding engagement between partners.
Built as a visually engaging marketplace with a focus on UX, the Placement Marketplace is designed to give affiliates the opportunity to showcase and engage advertisers simply and effectively.

Five Tips on How to Make the Most of The Placement Marketplace as an Affiliate
1. Exposure is Everything
Affiliates should keep their options open and publish placement opportunities program-wide (unless the opportunity calls for a more targeted group). For affiliates who are not yet using the Placement Marketplace, this guide demonstrates how to get started.
2. The Devil is in the Detail
When posting a placement, affiliates should provide as much information as possible. They should clearly communicate any additional information within the placement description and ensure that the creative requirements are clear.
3. Plan, Plan, Plan
Adding in placements ahead of time allows affiliates to plan campaigns and their month, quarter, or year in advance, saving time and stress, especially during peak season. Advertisers will also be looking at placements ahead of time for the same reasons, meaning those affiliates who plan ahead will be more likely to lock in advertisers. It's a win-win.
4. Responsiveness to Applications
Affiliates should set up email notifications to monitor applications and approve and decline these on a regular basis. This will build trust and reduce the amount of back-and-forth that may occur if an application remains pending for an extended period. This allows advertisers to know where they stand and action any final creative requirements ahead of time.
5. Reach Out
Affiliates should take advantage of the message centre and curate a list of placements that they think advertisers will be interested in and send out an EDM (Electronic Direct Mail) program-wide.
