Affiliate marketing is not just something we do... it is everything we do. Why AffiliateTraction Canada? AffiliateTraction Canada is the oldest and largest Agency of Record (AOR) with a niche focus on the implementation, management and growth of affiliate programs for large retailers and brands. Founded in 1999 by the still current CEO Greg Shepard, AffiliateTraction Canada was the first ever agency to manage affiliate programs for retail organizations. Leveraging this twelve plus years of experience as the leader in our industry has earned our organization the opportunity to currently represent the largest number of tier one retailers such as Lord & Taylor, Mattel, SKECHERS shoes and approximately 90 others to a world market. Working in constant partnership with our clients and vendors, AffiliateTraction Canada is evolving to continually exceed the expectations of our clients.

  2. Specialization & Focus The First Agency: AffiliateTraction Canada was the

    first affiliate marketing agency. For over a decade we have been the affiliate marketing experts. Retail Specialists: We do not engage in CPL lead programs, Finance, Real- Estate, Debt Relief, etc. We are Retail Specialists. Affiliate Marketing Specialists: We do not engage in Search, CPM Display, Shopping or anything that is not affiliate generated. We are affiliate marketing focused and understand that participation in other channels presents a conflict of interest between the affiliate marketing agency, the networks and affiliates. Philosophy AffiliateTraction Canada believes that success in the affiliate channel requires a win-win arrangement for all parties to ensure a sustainable and successful program. AffiliateTraction Canada believes in focusing exclusively on the affiliate marketing space to help our clients reap the rewards of a cohesive and comprehensive service and to prevent any conflicts of interest with other service providers, affiliates and internet retailers. We do not engage in search or any other marketing space for this reason. This approach has helped to secure the trust and cooperation of our clients, top publishers and major networks resulting in a streamlined process that has proven more profitable for all parties. Approach • AffiliateTraction Canada is an integrated solution provider; the management of affiliates is just one part of our services. • The affiliate marketing channel should represent 10 - 20% of all online sales for a merchant. • Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) should be twice that of other online channels, and traffic should be high quality. • Your affiliate marketing channel should enhance your brand equity, not damage it. • Our integrated approach delivers incremental revenue while protecting brand equity. Simplification An integrated affiliate marketing strategy requires multiple affiliate networks, relationships with hundreds of affiliates, multiple brand oversight vendors, product datafeed vendors and creative design. Each requires agreements, vendor approvals, technical integration, and multiple logins. AffiliateTraction Canada offers a single point of contact, a single dashboard, a single agreement and a single invoice, drastically reducing human resources. Transparency AffiliateTraction Canada offers a single dashboard with complete transparency of your entire affiliate channel. Control All decisions require client approval. The transparency provided makes it easy to make intelligent choices. The complete control allows you to manage your agency and lets your agency manage the affiliate marketing channel. Page 2 of 3 PERFORMANCE Brands trust AffiliateTraction with their affiliate marketing strategy; on average we represent 19% of our clients’ total online revenue providing our clients an ROAS (Re- turn On Ad Spend) that is twice that of other top retailers. And during the fourth quarter, we more than doubled the revenue lift of top In- ternet retailers. 416.253.7272 • 3601 Highway 7 East, Suite #400 Markham, Ontario L3R 0M3 • www.affiliatetraction.ca Page 2 of 3
