Welcome to Partner Marketing 2005
By Elizabeth M. Lloyd

Amidst all the gift baskets you received filled with popcorn and honey roasted cashews, have you stopped to think which affiliate partner of yours actually gave you something meaningful and worthwhile? In your plethora of holiday gifts from partners expressing their appreciation to you and your business, did anyone manage to personally write you a greeting card mentioning some of your interests and/or background?

Welcome to my first article of Partner Marketing 101. As the Director of Partner Marketing for the YFDirect Trust Network, I have come to the realization that the most powerful tool in the marketing arsenal for creating partner relationships and building brand image is constant communication. Whether the content of communication is strictly professional (alerting partners of a new highly converting offer) or more personal (just to say hello) the key action is constant communication  

Establishing a successful partner marketing program should not be solely based on an economic parity between network and partner. Have you ever wondered why you do more business with one partner than the other (financial reasons aside)? In an effort to help you grow your partner relationships- whether you have 500 or 50, I will be bringing you new and creative ideas on how to establish and run a mutually beneficial partner marketing program.

Of course I am open to questions as well so please send them my way to Elizabeth@yfdirect.com

Looking forward to working with you in 2005,
