ShareASale Photobooth Pictures

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Hey all - We got the Photobooth pictures back... this was an interesting conference for the Photobooth because it was available not only during the Affiliate Summit Exhibit Hall but also during our Under the Stars Party on Sunday Night. Speaking of which... does anyone remember a wedding that crashed the ...

Mobile Marketing

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It surprises me how at each meetup, the topic of conversation is completely different!  At our Boston meetup, conversation turned to how the line between online and offline marketing is blurring, and how affiliate marketers and merchants might be able to take advantage of that.  One of the models that ...

A call for merchants!

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Two years ago, a group of affiliates gathered in Albany, NY, in the food court of a shopping mall, to get to know each other and talk some shop.  A common consensus birthed the idea of affiliate advocacy...many affiliates work for themselves, without the safety net of a consistent paycheck, ...

Ad Creative: Best Practices for Merchants

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Met up with a great group over cheesesteaks and hoagies today!  Discussion centered around what affiliates need and don't need in regards to creative and communication.

Coupon confessions

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Awkward moment of the day.  I rolled into Church Brew, the 1902 church that was converted into a stunning microbrewery.  As I get out of the RoadShow-branded car, two women smile at me.  I smile back and start walking towards them, they must be the two affiliates who had RSVP'd ...

Cleveland Rocks!

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

This morning was fun...about fifteen miles after I depart Toledo, my GPS unit powers off.  After lots of poking, prodding and moderate cussing, I determine that the unit itself isn't broken (thank goodness), it was the car charger.  I look around.  All I see are farm houses and a lone ...
