Hey Michelle, thanks for the response. We have a 2-man marketing team here that is responsible for the marketing of 4 brands and 4 different websites. Performics seemed like a good choice because they seemed to offer more of a full-service solution and would recruit on our behalf (we would, of course, recruit as well). Given limited resources--lets say I dedicate 12 hours per week to affiliate marketing (we have designers to do the creative)--would you revise your answer? Or still reluctant to lean one way or the other. I don't want to get into numbers in this post but if that influences your decision I can PM that information to you. It's difficult to balance PPC, CSEs (that's where you help us), SEO, email marketing and the rest in 40 hours per week with 2 guys; that's one of the main reasons Performics was at the top of potential affiliate providers. I am well-versed with CJ, I just fear that by not being able to give the program 100% it would suffer. I know you don't get an assigned account rep unless you're spending over $X dollars per month so that would leave it on my shoulders so that's why I'm still uneasy about this. Let me know what you think given this additional information and I will (try) not pester you any further. ;-)
