Reasons to like Pepperjam
If you haven't joined Pepperjam yet, here are a few things we learned about the platform while writing this integration, which we think our members will appreciate:
- Product-level reporting. Meaning that in many cases, you can get so-called SKU-level information
about which product your reader ended up buying. So many platforms do not provide this critical feedback for publishers
on their readers' actual preferences!
- Comprehensive tracking. Pepperjam is fully Smart Label compatible with their SID tracking system. Just turn on
Smart Labels for Pepperjam in Affilimate and all your tracking will be taken care of for you.
- Focus on publisher/partner relationships. Pepperjam focuses on building a relationship between online publishers like you
and partners, making direct communication possible. You can ask for coupons, custom ads, and promotion tips directly
from partners.
- Easy-to-find cookie durations. Unlike some platforms where you need to hunt to see how long cookies will last, it's easy to see how long the cookie lasts right from the merchant search.
They also have a couple of unique features of their platform:
- Opportunity to increase your commission rate. Pepperjam's focus on transparency goes both ways: the more you can provide,
the more options you have to upgrade your status and get perks like automatic entry into certain programs or higher commission rates.
- Preferred Partner. Brands can designate you as a "preferred partner" to
guarantee that you get a commission for transactions when you appear in the click
stream, even if you aren't last click in the path.
- Exclusive Code. Custom codes that award credit to designated affiliates even if you don't appear in the click stream. These codes don't require a click, so they're ideal for promoting on social channels, podcasts, ebooks, and more.
Besides those key points, there are a number of bonuses on top like the low payout threshold of $25, the ease of creating links, the fact that every affiliate gets their own account manager (regardless of starting volume), and an extensive Help Center with answers to most common questions.
