Google had earlier in the day announced its difficult decision to retire Google Affiliate Network and focus on other products GAN clients now have a very brief window during which to select an alternativeaffiliate solution.
This special Migration Program makes it simple and immediately profitable for GAN clients to migrate key affiliates to the Impact Radius platform. Its simple, because Impact Radius provides a fully-managed migration and setup service at no cost. And it is profitable because Impact Radius employs an innovative SaaS (software as a service) pricing model that will save GAN clients from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, each month, compared to their previous network commission fees.
Googles decision will have a material impact on the affiliate industry and specifically their advertisers. This program should ease the pain and provide a technologically superior offering at a lower cost to their customer base, says Per Pettersen, Impact Radius CEO.
The Impact Radius SaaS model is disruptive to legacy affiliate networks, because it enables brands to work directly with key affiliates for a low fixed monthly fee, instead of paying the 20-30% commissions common with major networks. Brands take ownership of all performance data, while working on an open, scalable, next-generation platform.
