What do you look for in travel merchant? What network is best for travel?

natb · 16-05-07

Hi all

Well, I've stepped out of the gambling affiliate world and straight into travel. My new company Destinology, doesn't currently have an affiliate programme, so I'm in the nice position of being able to select a network, rather than inheriting one, as in my last two previous roles.

So travel affiliates, which networks do you like for travel and what factors do you look for when deciding to promote a travel merchant (other than massive commissions of course

)

Look forward to meeting some of you at the Travel Networking Event next week.
Nat.

Affiliate Future are one of the only networks I would bother with for travel - all the big travel affiliates are on there and they own henoo as well which should get some extra traffic for you.

Give Nic Cordingley a call for more info on 0845 009 4302. It's also worth noting that they have a travel API which seems to be going down well.

Thanks for that, Affiliate Future seem the obvious choice given the number of travel merchants on board. How have you guys found them for payment and general service response etc? Haven't worked with them before, CJ and Buy.at in the past.
