Outsourced Program Management

There are many benefits of outsourcing your Affiliate Program Manager! Most Outsourced Program Managers (OPM) charge a flat monthly rate and a performance based revenue share of sales for managing the affiliate program, which is much less then the cost of an Affiliate Manager’s annual salary. Since you’re not hiring a full-time employee, you’ll save money on benefits like health insurance, vacation days, sick days and human resources.

Additionally, outsourced affiliate managers are not the 8- 5 players and will often respond to affiliates and merchants during evenings and weekends.
