does it normally take a week to get a response when you contact from within buy.at? I sent an internal e-mail and got a 'We'll get back in touch with you as soon as possible' respose back on Oct 22nd, haven't received anything since then.

Hi Julian,

No, we always respond back to any inquiries pretty quickly. If certain requests need extra time to resolve, we still reply back to acknowledge the issue and ETA for solution. Please send me a PM and I will make sure to take care of you.

Thanks!
Ayako

Julian, sorry about the delay in response. Hopefully we will continue to make it easy and easier for our affiliates to know whom to speak with when they have issues. If you ever have any questions about buy.at I would be more than happy to answer them for you.

Your original issue of signing up on the Swarovski program has been fixed.

If I can do anything else for you, I would be happy to help.

Thanks,
Gabe

For a merchant, what are your advantages over other networks?

[Amy Ely]

Hi FriendlyPlanetTravel,

Thanks for your question! Here are a few of the highlights:

A big part of our business model is focused on taking a full-service, partnership approach with our clients to make sure their affiliate program is setup for success. As part of this, our team is heavily focused on incorporating the right technology solutions, which may include a few of our unique offerings:

• Product-level tracking & reporting – using our ProfitPlus & BasketData systems
• Offline tracking – including tracking sales from telephone, email, and printed materials back to the original affiliate’s site
• Cookieless tracking – to track transactions without the use of 3rd party cookies
• Widget creatives – to feature real-time product feed data and support viral marketing efforts

Also, we’ve built a strong foundation on getting “the basics” right:

• On-time payments – backed by AOL/Time Warner
• Reliable reporting and tracking – that is flexible and accurate
• Proactive account management – including regular communication and strategic guidance
• A solid campaign management interface – that is user-friendly, customizable, and allows clients to easily manage disputed sales
• An open network approach – providing visibility to which publishers are running your campaign, and encouraging both advertisers and publishers to work together to improve campaign performance

In addition, we’re focused on maintaining a clean affiliate network with strict network quality standards – free from adware, spyware, and any malicious applications that inappropriately intercept sales.

Bottom line: our team strives to provide value to both our advertisers and publishers, ensuring that all parties are fully supported and confident in our ability to grow their business the right way.
