    Overview

    An upscale fashion retailer wanted to expand their customer acquisition channels while protecting their brand positioning and avoiding the race-to-bottom discounting common in affiliate marketing.

    The Challenge

    The brand was hesitant about affiliate marketing due to concerns about brand dilution and coupon proliferation. They had no existing affiliate program infrastructure and were skeptical that partners could drive sales without heavy discounting. Previous attempts with major affiliate networks resulted in poor-quality traffic and brand misalignment—discount sites and coupon aggregators dominated, eroding their premium positioning and training customers to wait for deals.
