      B2B Lead Generation Review from Skyler Underwood

      We have partnered with All Inclusive Marketing for several quarters to execute demand-generation campaigns for their B2B clients. From day one, it was clear that AIM operates with a true client-first mindset. Their team invests the time to thoroughly understand each clients goals, internal processes, pain points, and the internal and external factors that could influence campaign performance. That diligence, combined with AIMs transparency and proactive communication, has been instrumental in setting our campaigns up for success. Their timely updates on client feedback, campaign progress, and optimization opportunities allow us to pivot quickly and keep performance on track. I'd like to recognize Jennifer Payne specifically for her collaborative and exceptional partnership. In short, AIM stands out as a true extension of the teams they support. They treat every marketing dollar with care and intention and I would confidently recommend them to any brand seeking a reliable, results-oriented demand-generation partner.

      Affiliate Marketing Review from Darrel Allen

      The affiliate marketing space is filled with agencies and outsourced program managers, but few possess the industry leadership, extensive knowledge, analytical skills, and strong work ethics of All Inclusive Marketing. Their team of professionals sets the bar for how affiliate programs should be managed, and why they’re so well respected for their positive, win/win attitude in working closely with their publisher partners.

      Waris Ali's Review Sourced from Google

      I applied for an SEO Specialist position and received a rejection email without any interview or initial discussion. While I understand that companies receive many applications, it would be helpful for candidates to receive more transparency regarding the selection process and the key qualifications being prioritized. I appreciate the response but was disappointed not to have the opportunity to discuss my experience and skills.

      Mario Inchausti's Review Sourced from Google

      Perhaps there are other things they do well. We hired 829 to build our website & it was by far one of the most ridiculous experiences I’ve ever faced. Staff was incompetent & condescending for good measure. They took a year and change to deliver a site that is horrifyingly unstable. Horrible.Edit: so many 5 star reviews should make one suspicious. They gave me more attention in an effort to get me to delete this review than when we genuinely needed it. Really horrible organization and I use my experience with them often as a cautionary tale. To recap: 829 offered services they were unqualified to deliver, overcharged for those and spent more time trying to upsell and pad their team with as many warm bodies as they could charge us for. Still salty about it…

      Caitlin Walker's Review Sourced from Google

      Our team chose 829 after interviewing many agencies for the complete rebrand, new website build, SEO improvements, and PR guidance and strategy. Collaborating on the design of the website was surprisingly productive, we needed one or two additional rounds then was first planned and we ended up with a design we all agreed delivered on the requested notes. From brand to website, clean and fresh aesthetic. Our SEO performance was immediately light years improved and continued to grow. The team brought excellent ideas forward and worked well with our opinionated colleagues with clear vision and preferences. I personally enjoyed the 829 staff assigned to our projects and appreciated the ease of working with them through delivery and post delivery management. I would hire them again and I would recommend them without hesitation.

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.
