Thanks to everyone who met with AvantLink at Affiliate Summit West! We had a great time networking and learned a lot about where we need to focus in 2017. Something we want to emphasize across the board this year is collaboration. In fact, isn’t affiliate marketing just a form of business collaboration? So what are some ways we can strengthen that bond?

One tool we discussed earlier this week–the AvantLink App Market–is a center of collaboration. Affiliates can install these apps for free and improve ads or create custom links right from the merchant’s website. Also, if you have an idea for an app and you can code, this is the place to develop your app and share it with your colleagues.
 

Collaboration Tool of the Week

Affiliates

I want to highlight a tool from the app market that can make product reviews and buying guides easier to create with custom links. The SnapLinker is a bookmarklet that creates links straight from your browser.

Merchants

Learn to collaborate better with affiliates with tips from our End of Year Strategy Webinar. This webinar focuses on the end of the year, but a lot of the tools and ideas are about collaborating with your affiliates on strategy in general. Check it out, and get in touch with your top affiliates.
