Perhaps the simplest way to explain affiliate marketing is that it is a way of making money online whereby you as a publisher are rewarded for helping a business by promoting their product, service or site.
There are a number of forms of these types of promotions but in most cases they involve you as a publisher earning a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to another site where they then buy something.
Other variations on this are where you earn an amount for referring a visitor who takes some kind of action - for example when they sign up for something and give an email address, where they complete a survey, where they leave a name and address etc.
Commissions are often a percentage of a sale but can also be a fixed amount per conversion.
Conversions are generally tracked when the publisher uses a link with a code only being used by you embedded into it that enables the advertiser to track where conversions come from (usually by cookies).
Other times an advertiser might give a publisher a coupon code for their readers to use that helps to track conversions.
While Hotels can employ a variety of affiliate marketing techniques, primary methods include setting up their own simple affiliate program where those who generate sales are rewarded with a commission (much like a travel agent commission, but usually lower than the 10%) or working with established online affiliate marketplace like Failte Marketing to create an affiliate program.
Online Affiliate marketing essentially utilizes the power of other established networks and sites to leverage your brand and generate sales based on performance.
This is a much better approach that pure banner advertising since it does not require direct relationship management (when using an online affiliate marketplace) and hoteliers can reach many more quality sites on the internet, having them perform and sell on their behalf.
It goes without saying, of course, that choosing the affiliate program system you set up for yourself and / or marketplace must be done with plenty of thought to processes, brand identity and reputation.
With the Failte Affiliate Programme you can invite web masters to become your affiliate and make use of their internet traffic.
Web site owners that become your affiliate get paid for every booking they generate for your hotel on a commission basis that can be worked out with the web site owner.
