We optimize our agency fees for the specific program at-hand. For some clients, more performance-incentivized fee structures work better than flat fees. We’re happy to work on a performance basis if the situation is right.

Data & Profitability Driven

At Imagine, we’re mindful of the dollars and cents that enter your bank account. We love to know your product and operational costs so you have an exact idea how profitable your affiliate channel is.

SCALABLE RELATIONSHIPS

Amazon Management

We have supported several brands on Amazon through affiliate management. Whether DTC or Amazon, we can connect you with publishers to help build your revenue and marketplace performance.

Given the right opportunity, our team will invest in campaigns on a CPA basis to lower client risk. We also have a network of B2B and affiliate partners who front advertising spend for your brand.

Optimization and Iteration

Whether it is optimizing creative, messaging, or landing pages, Imagine focuses on the small details at every customer touchpoint to maximize performance.

Monthly terms

Not every prospective client is going to be the right fit. With monthly contract terms, we allow both parties flexibility and freedom to opt out of services if the fit is not there.

Risk Diversification

We manage your affiliate program strategically to lower and diversify your risk. That means recruiting a diversity of publishers, getting production out of different publishers, optimizing commissions, fraud protection, and many more strategies.
