IAB Estimates Affiliate Marketing Growth in 2012
NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is a Research Alert Issued by Century Capital Research
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jun 22, 2012) - According to the IAB Affiliate Marketing Council, affiliate marketing is expected to grow significantly in the next year. The survey revealed that 77% of advertisers increased their affiliate marketing spend this year, while 71% expected spend to grow even more in 2012.
Though the survey represents just a fraction of affiliate marketing advertisers in the industry, it's clear that affiliate marketing continues to be seen as a legitimate and cost-effective way for businesses to market themselves. As the industry grows, expect to see more networks, advertisers and agencies stepping up their games. The predicted growth in affiliate marketing should be music to affiliates like ValueClick's ears: not only is there more money to be made, but the growing competition means that networks' and advertisers' technology, support and performance should naturally improve, where the most successful players are those that are efficient, ROI-focused and adaptable.
