Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to do a program setup or migration?

Getting ready for a launch on a new network or tracking platform involves designing the right technology setup, growth strategy, and launch plan. These elements align with your corporate objectives, brand voice, and operational efficiency. It’s crucial to configure technology and assets effectively, providing partners with the necessary resources without overwhelming them. This ensures accurate tracking, optimization, and integration into your overall marketing mix. Efficiency is key, maximizing margins and optimizing each partnership, KPI, and transaction.
On average, the process takes about 3-4 weeks. However, a full program migration involving a complete team of affiliate partners typically takes 2-3 months for a seamless transition.

How long does it take to ramp up an affiliate program?
Establishing a brand new program from scratch typically requires a period of 6-12 months to achieve scale and reach a break-even or profitable state.
​
Given the ever-changing nature of the industry, including evolving technologies, partnerships, and new competition, brands need a proficient team to effectively compete and scale. Successful affiliate marketing is not a matter of chance; it requires expertise, consistency, investment, time, and continuous attention. Once established, affiliate programs can contribute anywhere from 10% to 50% of revenue for brands of various sizes*.
*This contribution percentage may vary based on individual circumstances and industry factors. It’s best to speak with an expert at AIM to get more insight into this stat.
How quickly will I be able to see revenue coming in? I realize I might not break even for a few months, but do I have to wait that long to see any sales?
Normally, you’ll start seeing traffic and sales in the first month after launching the program. Once affiliates, influencers, and content partners have access to the program, along with its tools, resources, and assets, and the tracking is validated and operational, they can kick off their placements and drive traffic.
The timing and revenue will vary based on the volume of traffic and your website’s conversion rate. These factors play a role in determining how much revenue the program generates.
