Overview
A fashion retailer wants an affiliate program that reaches new customers while protecting margin.
The Challenge
Recruitment volume can hide weak partner fit. Review commissions, returns, coupon rules, product availability, tracking, and partner economics before scaling outreach.
Proposed Approach
Validate order and return tracking.
Set commissions using margin and expected customer value.
Build partner lists by audience and content fit.
Monitor activation, new customers, returns, and suspicious orders.
