Course Overview

Most disappointing results in affiliate marketing programmes trace back to an audience defined too broadly. A message about the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the marketing and commercial practice discipline is rarely technical. Every module pairs a short input on affiliate marketing programmes with structured practice on the participant's own material. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of marketing and commercial practice that participants can apply the week they return. The version of the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme suits teams tackling affiliate marketing programmes together as readily as individuals attending alone. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this strand of marketing and commercial practice is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants leave with a plan for the marketing and commercial practice discipline sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
