Name: Jason Myers The Content Factory
Category: GeneralEmail: query-bphu@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: The Content Factory
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 23 December
Query:
If you are a PR coordinator pitching a product, you've likely
noticed those queries for top-tier outlets with a requirement
along the lines of "Must be a Viglinks or Skimlinks approved
affiliate" or "Product must be available on Amazon to be
included".
In your PR experience:
Have your (otherwise qualified) clients been passed over for
coverage because they're not part of an affiliate link program
like Skimlinks or Sovrn (Viglinks)?
Have you ever told your clients that they need to participate
with programs like Skimlinks or Rakuten in order to be
competitive (or perhaps in order for you to handle their PR at
all)?
If so, how did they react and what was the outcome?
If you were able to talk a merchant client into becoming part of
an affiliate link program, what did you say to convince them?
Are you a journalist or editor who has been forced to make
affiliate links a requirement for including brands in an
article?
If so, we'd like to offer you a chance to tell your side of the
story:
Do you think it's fair and honest to the readers?
What are your predictions for the next year regarding the role
affiliate links will play in the PR and digital marketing space?
Anything else to add?
Requirements:
I won't be conducting interviews so if you'd like to be
considered for inclusion in this article (which will appear on a
highly-promoted digital marketing blog with an Alexa of 79,104),
please respond with insightful detailed comments to any or all
of the questions above (bonus points if you can point to any
unique research or stats).
I will read all pitches and respond if I use your quote.
Please include:
Your name (or if you prefer to remain anonymous, let me know if
it's a pseudonym)
Your company name (or the brand you're representing)
The business URL you'd like linked in your citation
Any links to social media handles that we might be able to link
to when we promote this feature
