What Week 43 Data Tells Us (At a Glance)

Looking closely at the third week of Round 3, four clear takeaways stand out for affiliates and online stores:

60% Higher Commissions Across All Freelancers Stores + Exclusive Rowenta Interview

Two major highlights for the BusinessLeague community this week:

• Official Announcement by Dorin Boerescu (CEO, 2Performant) — 60% Higher Commissions Across All Freelancers Stores: Starting October 22, for an indefinite period, all stores in the Freelancers tier offer 60% higher commissions for all affiliates — because we transferred 100% of 2Performant’s network fee directly into affiliate commissions. With the exact same store budget, affiliates earn more, giving them an even stronger incentive to promote emerging stores and help them scale. Dozens of promising online stores await in the dedicated Freelancer Advertiser Bonuses section.
• Exclusive Blog Interview — Alina Cuzmin (E-Commerce Lead SCE, Rowenta): In a conversation with Codruț Baciu (Editor-in-Chief, BusinessLeague), Alina Cuzmin explains why affiliate marketing has become a strategic pillar in the performance marketing mix of a leading international brand: “Affiliate marketing is no longer a test channel, as it was at the beginning, but an important pillar in our performance marketing mix. It brings us both volume and visibility and connects us with partners who know how to communicate the benefits of our products effectively.” Read the full interview on the blog →
