Yes that makes sense. The AM should facilitate the contact with the Direct Mail people only if needed, not be pushed as the middle man/woman in the communication chain.

If the problem is with a direct mail piece... don't have the affiliate manager "get in the way", have the direct mail people give us a call.... To clarify….

Wouldn't this translate into leveraging the merchants brand (and coupon) to gain said traffic and even though again there is no direct click to a affiliate link you in essence are banking on the conitued traffic of that consumer to make a purchase that is trackable? Also, you can leverage all those eyeballs into your Advertising Kit and charge more for adverts. Either way you probably make just a little more by allowing users to post those forbidden coupons. I would to if I had a nice forum like yours! heh heh heh oh and isn't that part of the AM job to manage us? Maybe I do not understand, do you want someone else to contact you about an issue? Thanks for the insight.

I think that's part of the answer. I also believe that affiliate marketing is viewed as a "lesser" form of online marketing; hence, it gets treated this way. What you describe, Tim, is almost like parental type of relationship. What ever happened to those "child leashes" we used to see so many of? Perhaps we need to bring them back... or affiliate networks need a parental control type device; say, to lock affiliates out of trademark bidding almost like parents block the Spice channel from their children. (setting up David Lewis; paging David Lewis... come in David... how are you reading me?) Because it's easier than practicing multi-channel marketing?
