The question today comes from Samantha at Fingerhut.com

What are your reasons for recommending AvantLink for catalog retailers?

Best,

Samantha, nice to hear from you. There are a few reasons why I recommend that any catalog merchant that uses product feeds to promote their products should take a look at AvantLink.

Their datafeed tools for affiliates are absolutely top notch- and they don’t charge anything additional for set up on either the merchant or affiliate side to use them. They make it easy for affiliates to merchandise products, and have some awesome features as well like coupon feeds that you can use to traffic specials on affiliate sites and update on the fly.

They have also just recently ( at Summit) added on board support for video creative - which is ahead of the curve.

And my personal favorite - they make all affiliate contact info (email, name and phone) available by default.

Their roots are in working for a catalog retailer in Backcounty.com and they have built the tools that affiliate managers need (and affiliates need) to get the job done. They have really focused on working only with retail, feed-based merchants and developing a feature set that would be just what the doctor ordered for them.

They also do some cool innovative things like RSS based reporting for the affiliate manager.

God Bless,
