We have discussed as a company offering a larger initial Rev-Share commission but come to the same conclusion…at the end of the 3 months when we cut the Rev Share back how will Affiliates react to it.
So we have continued to vote against the idea, this is great feedback from Affiliates because it confirms what we suspected all along, it would upset Affiliates after the fact. As an operator offering more than 30% -35% commission is taking a big risk because once you take out operational experiences and processing fees your bottom line profit margin is dangerously diminished.
The idea is to have a partnership where both parties benefit.
So QUESTIONS to AFFILIATES:
1. As an Affiliate what Rev-Share percentage do you feel is fair and encourages you to push the brand?
2. What are the other factors that you take into consideration when pushing a brand?
Cheers,
Marty
