1st Affiliate Network to Integrate Video Ads
Everyone knows video marketing is hot, but if affiliates want to use it they have to use a 3rd party tool to try to embed their affiliate ID to get credit for sales they send the merchant. To my knowledge none of the affiliate networks have come up with a seamless solution - that is until now.
AvantLink Introduces Video Advertising Tool for Affiliates
Press Release March 5, 2008: Affiliate technology provider AvantLink expands their innovative, industry leading tool center with the release of a fully integrated ad type for Affiliate video marketing. Targeted video ad campaigns increase sales conversion, and the Video Ad Tool is a free value add service to network members.
The AvantLink Affiliate network announced recently the release of their Video Ad Tool (VAT), the first network-integrated tool of its kind available in the Affiliate space. Until now, merchants and Affiliates had to work with third party providers for video marketing solutions. This is yet another example of AvantLink’s progressive technology agenda, and commitment to providing cutting-edge marketing tools and data for Affiliate professionals.
See some affiliate video ad examples here. Side-note: I hadn’t looked at Avantlink for awhile. They have a lot more merchants than I realized.

Thanks for the mention, Linda. We’re excited about the integrated video ad tool. We had several merchants come to us about adding this functionality and the launch was timed nicely with Affiliate Summit. Seemed to be a lot of talk of video marketing there. It looks like we already have one merchant looking to offer short product level videos, distributed with their datafeed(s)…which I think would be very effective. Thanks again!
