Poor visibility of performance, making it hard to understand what’s really driving growth.
03
Inefficient publisher mix, leading to wasted spend or incrementality concerns.
04
Poorly structured discount codes and commission models, which can erode margin and incentivise the wrong behaviours
05
Limited internal expertise or resource, particularly where affiliate overlaps with PPC, CSS and paid social.
