Background and Objectives
Historically, Marks Electrical’s affiliate program had been lower-funnel focused, with a minimal focus on premium content, marketplace, review, and shopping affiliates.
To drive significant growth, RevWise built and executed a strategic plan centered on relentless expansion via high-value content partnerships and strategic CSS optimisations via select Google Shopping partners. This approach aimed to capture new customers, reduce dependency on discounts, and foster a more diverse and resilient affiliate program.
RevWise Strategy and Approach
RevWise took an intensive, data-driven approach to bring Marks Electrical’s affiliate programme to new heights. By conducting extensive publisher research and dedicating hundreds of hours to identifying ideal partners, RevWise developed a highly targeted roster of premium affiliates across lifestyle, product review, and shopping content.
RevWise secured placements across some of the industry’s most influential publishers, such as BBC Good Food, Good Housekeeping, AVForums, and Toms Guide, which featured essential Marks Electrical products, including washing machines, mixers, and fridge freezers. With this intensive groundwork, RevWise dynamically adjusted CPA rates for individual publishers, creating tailored incentives that drove publisher engagement and established a significant presence in content-driven search results.
In partnership with Tradedoubler, RevWise leveraged the latest tracking technology, custom commissioning tools, and hands-on account support to refine and optimize each initiative, allowing Marks Electrical’s program to operate with precision and efficiency. This seamless collaboration allowed RevWise to act dynamically and scale initiatives quickly, ensuring that Marks Electrical gained a competitive edge on Google Shopping and within the affiliate marketplace.

In just a few months, Marks Electrical has experienced remarkable growth across multiple metrics:
• Substantial Incremental Revenue Growth: Total incremental revenue rose dramatically, with a 58% increase in Google Shopping (CSS) revenue due to RevWise’s ongoing optimization.
