One of the hallmarks of our agency, is our ability to increase overall “affiliate/publisher activation” which is the overall number of affiliates in the affiliate program that are actively promoting the company on their website, blog, social media, email, etc. With this CJ account, the overall number of active affiliates/publishers has steadily been increasing on a quarterly basis. This account has a 33% publisher activation rate in the CJ account, which is good, but we strive to increase the affiliate activation rate to 50% or greater. As you can see from the above chart, affiliate-referred clicks/traffic has steadily increased year over year.

This is a really great indication of the value your affiliate program is creating for your company. When you have the overall amount of items sold through affiliate referrals growing like this, the brand is receiving a lot of value from affiliate-referred customers. This means they are buying more items, over time, from affiliate referred clicks, which is exactly what you want to see in your affiliate program.
