How Does It Work?• Online retailers drive traffic to their sites through affiliate marketing networks• 3rd party websites (blogs, reviews, comparison sites etc.) are paid a commission if they send a
customer to the retailer who then purchases the product• Commissions are administered by a variety of affiliate networks who agree deals with the
retailers.• Our agency partner e-Tale tracks retailer stock availability and matches SKU’s between
samsung.com and retailer websites• No upfront fees – Commission offset against agency cost + share of any surplus revenue returns to
Samsung
Agency tracks retailer stock and referrals
