Description |
Example |
|---|---|---|
| Contracting | Advertiser and Partner negotiate and agree to terms. Notes and changes are tracked and resolved. Updated terms are easily sent to partners for acceptance. Temporary agreements let both parties test the waters. | Parties agree to a tiered commission structure with minimum monthly fees and special terms. Payment is 7 days after a user clicks through to the advertiser’s website and completes a purchase. |
| Tracking | User traffic and conversion events are tracked between the advertiser and partner. Custom parameters enhance the data for more robust reporting and targeting. Relevant data is shared between partners. | Customer clicks through from a partner ad into the advertiser site and books a room. Advertiser commissions their partner and shares booking amount, so the partner can reward the user with appropriate credit card or airline miles. |
| Crediting | Advertiser sets their own rules on how they would like to allocate credit to partners. Radius allocates credit to the appropriate partner once terms of the contract are met. | Advertiser chooses to credit partners for a conversion, based on the last click prior to items being placed in the user’s cart. |

Commission is automatically calculated based on the terms of the contract. Advertisers have extreme flexibility in how they set their rules and the simple interface makes doing so completely self-serve.
Advertiser chooses to pay a different commission by path position, geolocation, depth of discount, customer segment, IVR call duration, new vs returning customer, and a variety of custom characteristics.
Global advertisers can pay and report in their preferred currency, while allowing individual partners to receive payment in their own preferred currency.
A large global brand pays and reports in pounds, but their 2,000+ partners receive payment in as many as 140 local currencies.
Advertisers and partners leverage real time performance and insight reporting with granular drill downs for inflight decision-making. Both receive system alert when performance rises or dips to defined levels.

Create, publish and negotiate with partners using powerful contract management workflows. And adeptly manage and schedule disbursements across dozens of deserving partners.
Consumers often interact with multiple partners on their path to purchase — why give the last click 100% of the credit? Want to pay more for new customers? Less for certain items or categories? With our powerfully flexible — yet surprisingly intuitive — contracting system, you can pay for actual value and not just for performance.
And with performance bonuses, you can create a tiered payout structure to continually incentivize increased traffic across the board — from your biggest partners to your smallest sub-affiliates.
Are you over- or underpaying certain partners relative to the incremental value they provide? With contribution and crediting insights, you can uncover the true value of a partner’s contribution, whether it’s delivered at the beginning, middle, or end of the conversion path.
With purchase behavior and customer value reporting, you’ll see how much long-term value each partner drives, so you can properly incentivize them to raise the bar even higher. And with cross-device reporting, you can see what kind of device your customers are using at each stage of the conversion path.
Partner marketing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. With conversion path and synergy reporting, you’ll see how your program and individual partners interact with other marketing channels to drive conversions.
