M&S lowers commission for SALES again
Not sure what people feel about this. It seems that M&S who have their affiliate programme managed through buy.at are lowering commission from 4% to 3% for all items during an upcoming Sale.
The reason? ‘A substantial increase in their own marketing efforts’ and ‘a significant increase in affiliate traffic and conversion to occur naturally’
As M&S reside on a network that offers product level commissions, why is this a blanket reduction? I would be more prepared to accept this if it were for sale items only; but everything?
Part of the game, or disrespectful? Would this occur if M&S had a tangible sales force?
