Anonymous Owner at Environ Skin Care
5.0★
Public Relations Review from Anonymous
As a national wholesale distributor for a pharmaceutical skin care line, we focus largely on B2B lead nurturing and must rely primarily on the 5WPR team to support our consumer outreach. We have been clients of 5WPR for just over a year and the team has secured nearly 3 billion impressions. The publications include national books such as Vogue, NewBeauty, Elle, StyleCaster, Well + Good, Who What Wear, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, and many more. One of our main goals was also to secure coverage in regional publications and media to help support our medspa clients. 5WPR aligned with our strategy and has secured a multitude of smaller market publications and broadcast segments which has helped increase exposure for our amazing medspa practices and lifted product and treatment sales. 5WPR is extremely proactive in seeking out influencers that are a fit for our skin care brand and technology. When Hailey Bieber touted one of our products in a social post, 5WPR was swift at media hijacking, leveraging on the publicity and securing millions more impressions. The 5WPR team also keeps our brand in the hands of many editors with industry-relevant and thought-provoking story coverage. Our award submissions are carefully considered and submitted on our behalf. We very much appreciate the training and education that the 5WPR team has committed to as our brand has a lot of science and technology. The team has adopted our philosophy on education and continues to learn and harness ingredient and skin science to present our brand to the media. We feel that the 5WPR team is an extension of our staff family. We feel supported and very comfortable reaching out with our needs anytime. 5WPR listens to our ideas and collaborates to institute strategies that hit measurable goals.

eCommerce Development Review from Undisclosed
We have been working with First Pier for almost 10 years now, beginning with the launch of our women’s boutique E-Commerce business. First Pier has been responsible for our e-commerce store design, web development, e-commerce SEO, digital strategy, online marketing campaigns and beyond ever since. As a already successful brick and mortar retailer, we saw an opportunity to reach beyond our existing customer bases in Portland, Maine & Portsmouth, New Hampshire by creating an online shopping experience accessible 24/7 and nationwide. First Pier has helped us turn that vision into reality by taking us from no online store and zero sales to a dependable thriving new channel for our business that continues to grow. Our experience with Shopify started when First Pier migrated our site from Magento to a Shopify website. Since First Pier is a designated Shopify Expert, we knew we could trust them with the daunting task of moving all of our products, accounts, and customer history to our new Shopify site. They made the transition to a new e-commerce system painless by ensuring our hands were held along the way, we were thoroughly trained, and none of the SEO ranking keywords were lost. We continue to work with First Pier on expanding our use of Google Shopping SEO and will be implementing Shopify’s Point of Sale in the coming year as part of a continued effort to deliver a unified customer experience at our stores. As a small women’s boutique based in Maine, we are now able to deliver our customer experience to tourist and seasonal customers where they are year round. We would recommend First Pier to anyone looking to build or update a Shopify store.

Shopify Review from Undisclosed
First Pier helped us move, update, and launch our online business on Shopify. As a high-traffic bakery, it was important to us that customers buying from around the country were able to view the quality of our products, feel the vibe of our Portland and South Portland shops, and trust that their order would be as special as a visit to our Maine bakery. First Pier delivered mouth-watering e-commerce product photography, an easy-to-use site, and supported us every step of the way. Our shoppable site is now optimized, accurately reflects our brand, and has poised us for growth.

# Big Fish PR Review**Holy crap, where do I even start with Big Fish PR.**As VP of Her ALS Story, I’ve been around the block with agencies, and let me tell you - what Big Fish did for our Warrior Weekend was absolutely unreal.These people are MAGIC. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. When we first talked to them about the Warrior Weekend, I could tell they immediately understood what we were trying to do. This isn’t just another event for us - it’s about bringing together warriors in the ALS fight and giving them a space to connect, heal, and find strength. And Big Fish? They got that from minute one.The media coverage they landed for us was insane. We’re talking major publications - the kind of outlets that usually don’t give smaller nonprofits the time of day. But somehow Big Fish made our story irresistible to them. Every pitch felt strategic, every story placement felt meaningful. They didn’t just spray and pray with press releases. They crafted our narrative in a way that made editors actually care.What blew me away was how they made our Warrior Weekend feel like THE event everyone needed to know about. The buzz they created wasn’t just noise - it was the right kind of attention that brought in the right people and resources.But here’s the thing that really got me: they never made it feel transactional. Every conversation, every strategy session, every brainstorm felt like we were working with people who genuinely gave a damn about our mission. They celebrated our wins like they were their own family’s wins.If you’re looking for a PR team that will fight for your cause like it’s their own, call Big Fish immediately. Don’t walk, RUN. These people are the real deal, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.**Trust me on this one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affiliate Marketing Firms
What services do affiliate marketing companies provide?
Affiliate marketing agencies provide a broad spectrum of services aimed at elevating businesses’ commissions and revenue through a network of partners or affiliates.
While many people associate affiliates strictly with social media influencers and public figures, professional affiliate marketing agencies manage a much broader ecosystem of niche content creators, review sites, coupon and loyalty portals, and larger media publishers.
These partners promote a product or service to their established audiences, earning a commission only when a verified sale or lead is generated through their unique tracking affiliate link. An affiliate program generally follows a B2C (business-to-consumer) model, but B2B arrangements also exist.
Key services of affiliate marketing companies encompass:
Program setup
Affiliate marketing strategy
Partners recruitment
Commission management
Affiliate vetting
Performance reporting
What types of affiliate marketing are there?
Affiliate marketing is traditionally categorized by the relationship between the marketer and the product, as well as the promotional medium used. Professional affiliate engagement typically falls into three distinct categories:
Involved affiliate marketing: This model relies on firsthand experience. The affiliate uses and endorses the product through reviews and tutorials. This type has shown to deliver a better conversion rate and make the business a trusted brand.
Related affiliate marketing: The marketer operates within the same industry or niche as the product but does not necessarily use it personally. For example, a financial blog may promote a specific credit card to its established audience.
Unattached affiliate marketing: A purely performance-based model where the affiliate has no direct connection to the product or its niche. The affiliate runs pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns and places the affiliate link in ads, hoping consumers click and purchase.
How much do these services cost?
Across industries, the median affiliate commission rates stand at 5% to 30% of the sale amount. This percentage tends to be higher when collaborating with retail, beauty, and fashion brands, while B2B, electronics and other high-end products pay on the lower end. And that's only for the commissions payout.
To this sum, businesses need to factor in an additional $2,000 to $10,000 per month for the affiliate marketing company. The scope usually dictates the service fee, finalized based on the number of affiliates, campaign setup, creative production, reporting, and optimization.
In terms of the payment method, there are a few main models to choose from:
Pay-per-sale: Pays a percentage of earn commissions
Pay-per-lead: Pays for qualified referrals
Pay-per-click: Offers small payments per each visitor
Pay-per-install: Pays for each app/software download and install
How are commissions usually tiered?
Affiliate marketing companies usually structure the commission based on the complexity of the conversion and the level of creator influence. Here are the average commissions and payouts businesses can expect:
Reach and engagement: 5% to 20%
Revenue-share tiers: 15% to 30%
Flat fee or revenue-share agreements: Around 15%
Referred sale commission: 5% to 25%
Performance-based influencer compensation: 5% to 20%
What is the difference between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing?
The main distinction between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing lies in the primary objective and the corresponding compensation structure.
Affiliate marketing is primarily a performance-oriented model whereaffiliates earn commissions exclusively for prompting specific actions. The engagement delivers immediate return on investment (ROI) and functions as a direct sales channel. Consequently, the relationship between the brand and the affiliate is purely transactional.
By contrast, influencer marketing uses a creator's social influence and audience to cultivate brand awareness and brand trust. Compensation in this model typically involves an upfront flat fee or product gifting in exchange for creative content and visibility.
In essence, affiliate marketing agencies focus on the bottom of the sales funnel, while influencer agencies target the top by putting more emphasis on the narrative and brand resonance.
