Reaching New Heights with Quarterly Packages and Optimal Results

Four prominent Australian brands achieved great success while optimising costs in Q4 2022 with the help of Commission Factory.    

Q4 is a crucial time for brands to increase their revenue and maximise their return on ad spend (ROAS). Last year, four brands embarked on a journey to see how they could make the most of Commission Factory's Q4 bespoke packages. With important dates like Christmas and Cyber Weekend on the calendar, it's a critical time for brands to capitalise on a peak time in retail and end the year with a high.  

In this case study, four Australian brands leveraged Commission Factory's Q4 Package to capitalise on their sales in the fourth quarter: 

• Brand 1: A gift delivery company specialising in hampers 
• Brand 2: An online gift store 
• Brand 3: A sleep solution company specialising in mattresses  
• Brand 4: A sportswear fashion retailer  

Objective 

As consumers slowly regained spending confidence, it was an excellent time for advertisers to improve sales and expand their customer base.  

With Commission Factory's vast network of affiliates partners in the Australian region, the four advertisers developed the following campaign goals:  

• Increase their overall revenue across Q4 2022, specifically in November 
• Keep a steady ROAS across the months 
• Work with a diverse list of affiliates 
• Recruit key publishers that were missing from their program 
• Secure as many placements per month with the assistance of Commission Factory's Account Management team.  

Solution  

By opting into Commission Factory's Q4 package, all four advertisers could form partnerships with affiliates that provided significant value. In addition, each brand was assigned an Account Manager that connected them to affiliate partners with the same goals and target market – improving their synergy during this crucial period.   

Throughout Q2, Commission Factory secured various placements that allowed the brands to reach the right audience. The average placements locked in each month are as follows: 

• Brand 1: Average of 8 placements per month across the quarter  
• Brand 2: Average of 7 placements per month across the quarter  
• Brand 3: Average of 16 placements booked per month  
• Brand 4: Average of 16 placements booked per month 

Result 

Since ramping up their exposure across key publishers on Commission Factory, all four advertisers have seen a positive uplift in revenue and ROAS. These advertisers also successfully added a healthy number of new affiliate partners to their campaigns.

New Affiliate Partners 

On average, the advertisers had these numbers of new affiliate partners that joined their program each month:

• Brand 1: 13 new publishers added per month 
• Brand 2: 13 new publishers added per month 
• Brand 3: 16 new publishers added per month  
• Brand 4: 18 new publishers added per month 

Key Takeaway 

Q4 is a key quarter to generate revenue, but it's also a time when customer loyalty is challenged. With the uncertain times faced by some brands, keeping within the allocated budgets while maintaining a strong ROAS is more important than ever.     

By taking up a Q4 package with Commission Factory, these four brands benefited from an open platform and the best reporting functions to optimise their marketing proactively. More importantly, our experienced Account Management team helped these advertisers achieve revenue growth and create new and diverse affiliate partnerships - all while keeping to strict budgets and ROAS goals.
