That was precise and straight to the point. I agree, merchants should make sure that they pay on time. It is important to establish and maintain that credibility among your affiliate partners. Moreover, they should learn to listen to their affiliates and take note about their areas of concern. Good post Jonathan. That was precise and straight to the point.

Down times can be exciting times if one things creatively. They force us to think outside the box, to cut back on waste, and to innovate. Thinking of one's competition, if they decline and you remain level, you gained market share! It's that simple. If you move forward even an inch during tough times you are ahead of the game.

I'd also add: 11. Employ social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc) for relationship-building, as well as to keep affiliates (both current, and prospective ones) up-to-date on what's going on in your affiliate program(s). 12. Don't forget about the "fun" component. Run contests and promos (remember to set reachable goals!) Good post, Jonathan. I'd also add:

When there is a failure fess up to it and fix it. Affiliates respect that a lot more than if you ignore it. My job is to educate our merchants about this and why it is important. Great post Jonathan!
