Scott is based in Utah and is part of the growing population of affiliate marketers out there. Scott has a strong background in the outdoor industry and is excited about this program and getting affiliates actively selling, especially in the upcoming warmer months.

Mountains Plus has been around since 1995, but has recently joined the Avantlink Network and hired me to manage their affiliate channel. I’ve been managing the program for just under a year and have increased their sales by over 1000% the first 90 days. We’re proud to be the equipment provider of choice for many avid adventure racers, trail runners, ultralight backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

Outsourced Program Management

July 8, 2010 12:32 amLeave a Comment

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.
