If you're a brand, agency, community manager, or stakeholder looking to maximize earnings from your influencers and affiliates, it’s time to shift focus to what’s next. In 2025, brands with their finger on the pulse will double down on word-of-mouth strategies. But here's the catch—doing the same thing as everyone else won’t cut it. So, how do you stay ahead? The winning strategy is a deep dive into the entire affiliate funnel—from sharing and posting to the actual shopping experience. It’s about bringing your eComm managers into the conversation and crafting a game plan that optimizes conversions across all sources of affiliate traffic. Next week, we’re teaming up with GRIN for a webinar to unpack this exact topic. Don’t miss this chat with Olivia McNaughten & Kenyon Brown Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gNWYf8bj

🎉 Announcing a new partnership for enterprise-grade co-selling: GRIN x CreatorCommerce We're excited to unveil a new integration that empowers Enterprise brands to build high-performing, OWNED social commerce strategies. This partnership addresses a critical challenge in the creator marketing landscape: maximizing ROI and sales generation in a way that traditional affiliate programs simply cannot achieve. The Current State of Creator Marketing: • Top creators receive 10+ brand partnership requests weekly • Traditional affiliate links show declining engagement rates • Brands struggle to differentiate their collaborations beyond increased budgets and discounts While creator marketing has traditionally been positioned as a brand-building tool rather than a sales driver, we recognize that modern commerce demands both. This integration bridges this gap, with a leader in collaboration formation. Merchants can now use the robust GRIN platform to recruit their next favorite creators, and to convert their affiliate links into personalized shopping destinations, creating a perfect balance between conversion optimization and authentic brand building. Key Benefits: • Seamless integration between GRIN's creator management and CreatorCommerce's sales optimization • Distinguished presence in creator partnerships • Enhanced conversion through personalized shopping experiences • Improved creator retention and affiliate lifetime value (ALTV) • Streamlined attribution and automated discount management For Creators: • Enhanced personal brand integration • Unique, customizable shopping experiences • True partnership equity • Ongoing curation opportunities This integration represents more than a technical enhancement – it's a fundamental shift in how brands and creators collaborate to drive meaningful business results.

Fashion as an industry has long staved off affiliate marketing temptations out of fear of brand dilution via discounts. That's going away with the ability to now center affiliate around curations, a content-forward value-add that keeps (and elevates) brand perceptions. https://lnkd.in/gd87JdyK
