Introduction to Affiliate Marketing

 
Today we want to explain the basis of the Sigma Affiliate Program, otherwise known as Affiliate Marketing. If you are not familiar with Affiliate Marketing, we are going to explain what it is, how it works, and how it benefits you as a Sigma Affiliate.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance based marketing strategy where affiliates promote their merchant’s products through their own devices and receive compensation from every sale made.  The three most common payment arrangements are: pay-per-sale, pay-per-lead, and pay-per-click.

Sigma utilizes the pay-per-sale method, where the affiliate receives 10% commission for every sale generated by a new customer through their affiliate link.
