As the new year draws closer, the final weeks in 2017 offer a great opportunity to look at trends that have emerged over the past 12 months. One such trend was manufacturers opting to sell directly to consumer through their own websites in addition to partnering with other retailers. With so many turnkey ecommerce solutions available (think Shopify or Volusion), manufacturers can now enter the direct sales space with relatively little to lose.
Take a look at the last thirteen program launch announcements on AvantLink over the past two weeks and you’ll see clear evidence of this. Of those thirteen launches, twelve were programs for manufacturers. This includes all four new programs mentioned below.
As 2018 begins, it’s likely this trend will continue, offering affiliates their choice of working directly with brands or the retailers who sell the brand’s product. And in a space like the affiliate channel, more choice is a good thing.
