robcubbon Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Does Affinity or Serif have an affiliate scheme? I want to promote Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo as I think they are very good applications and they are good value. paulrobinson68, Felipe Adan Lerma, Megan Casey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwatson Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I'd love to see an affiliate option as well. I'd love to promote the products - and make a little while I'm at it. Although, here we call it an affiliate "program" rather than "scheme." Scheme seems to have a negative, shady connotation.

Joe Floyd Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I would be interested in this as well. Twitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelstuff Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I wonder if such a program would require them to jack up the price. I mean they are basically one of the cheapest "pro" software out there as it is. I guess if version 2.0 is more expensive AND they release a referral program, then we'll know the answer. Personally I refer people when when I think it might work for them, whether there is a program or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwatson Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Affiliate programs are just another form of marketing. What might otherwise be spent on ads would go as a commission to the affiliate instead. It can be a win-win if the affiliates bring in new people who might not hear of the software from other channels. It's not a big deal to me. I just thought if there was one, I'd take advantage of it.

mac_heibu Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It seems interesting to me, that people, asking for and affiliate program, often are „newbies“ (1 or 2 posts here). What I am asking myself: If these users are that convinced with the Affinity apps, why aren‘t they more active in these forums? Or is the call for affiliate programs simply a way to make easy money? (Don‘t want to offend anyone; it is simply a question …) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwatson Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hmm, just because I don't post in the forum often doesn't mean I'm a "newbie" to Affinity. I have all three apps, dating back to the first in 2017 I think. Recently produced a book with Publisher. I use Designer and Photo a lot in my web design work.

mac_heibu Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 With „newbie“ I didn‘t want to evaluate you or your skills. I simply used the forum label beneath your user name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 14 minutes ago, Patrick Connor said: they certainly do and it is considerable Which would likely make an affiliate program, a bit of guerrilla advertising, cost effective. At least if a restriction was placed on it that sales were handled by the Serif store (wouldn't know about the others anyway). That said, I do (once upon a time did) know the numbers of a company with an affiliate program still going on after 25 years or so. The actual numbers are/were pretty dismal so I don't think its worthwhile due to management costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2020 As you (and possibly others here)may well know Serif ran an affiliate scheme for the legacy range for 20 years, so we are aware how to do it and what the profit margins are, and how to run them.

Nope. I didn't remember and meant nothing disparaging. It wasn't Serif I was referring to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Tanguay Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I am arguing right now for Affinity with an Adobe die hard on Facebook. 10K+ followers posts on the topic and NO affiliate link. Common marketing! We need to make you guys enough money so we can get Serif Web Plus to Affinity Web Weaver (It's the new bootstrap web design software you guys need to make.) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, is that in the works? I hadn't thought about that. Although if it does happen, I hope it's not tied to Bootstrap. Not everyone uses that framework.

Clark-G Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Also wishing Affinity Designer had an affiliate program. I am a graphic designer and am constantly recommending it to people who don't want to purchase Adobe subscriptions. I feel like rewarding people who are promoting it without even being asked seems pretty logical. Definitely looking forward to it! :) Twitch, vwatson, Philippe Roy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayden Brand Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'd also love to see something like this.
