U.K. Affiliate Market to Double, Exceed 1B Pounds

I just blogged this, but thought I would come over here and share too.

I know the UK affiliate marketing industry is hot as evidenced by so many strong UK affiliates and some great UK affiliate networks. To double in market size is pretty impressive though. Keep an eye on the UK and what they are doing. And merchants for Gods sake do not set your CJ account to accept only US affiliates. This is a world wide marketing biz we're in. If you need to close out certain countries that typically have a lot of fraud, fine, but be sure to open your program up to UK affiliates. They are some of the strongest out there! From MarketingVOX:

"Affiliate marketing is becoming a real no-brainer for many businesses looking to drive online sales while avoiding the usual risks associated with online and offline marketing," according to E-consultancy CEO Ashley Friedlein, because affiliates "are themselves becoming increasing savvy as internet marketers."

Among key affiliate marketing trends identified in the report: Financial services, gambling, telecom, entertainment, travel and consumer electronics are sectors with strong growth rates; affiliate marketing remains largely consumer-focused; affiliate marketing is outsourced to agencies by 15 percent of merchants; and affiliate networks expect consolidation within the next few months."

Hi Linda

Cheers for posting that - its a half decent report this year and as can be seen from it plenty of good companies in the space.

The UK market is going from strength to strength and its great to be a part of that growth. This board has a lot to do with this growth so if the industry does double in size Matt and team deserve even more pats on the back.

Hopefully should see a few nice incoming sales calls from it which is always nice :-)
