    If you want to sell online, there is no more powerful platform than Amazon. Other marketplaces, like Walmart, are simply not as good at reaching a massive amount of sellers. In our experience, selling on Amazon has not detracted from standard website sales and has enabled us to tap into an entirely new market of potential buyers

    Before learning about Circlewise, I had to manually perform tasks through Google Analytics and Excel to receive the general traffic reports on my website. However, with this simple and beautifully designed software, all the work is done automatically.- Circlewise is a great tool for anyone who wants to take their business to the next level.

    Any publisher looking to monetize their blogs would be a great fit. The size of the publisher probably doesn't matter. They have a wide selection of advertisers and publishers can sign up for free. Advertisers that are looking for great partners for their affiliate programs would be good fits. One of the benefits is that Impact really focuses on recruiting high-quality publishers.

    • I find that communication with the team can be somewhat difficult.
    • Regarding the software, it would be great to include hyperlinks in the publishers' profile with the content published by the affiliates.

    • User interface could be improved a little, as it is a quite difficult task to find the content or links
    • Approval from the advertisers sometimes takes a huge amount of time. If they can somehow reduce the response time, it will be great
    • New affiliates might find the onboarding process a little difficult

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    If your product is on high demand and you find a well-built listing (if you are not the manufacturer or authorized brand representative). It is very difficult to correct listings if you are a reseller only. Seller support and seller forums are useless to get any help since seller support agents only wants to close support tickets and experienced sellers on forums are usually sarcastic.

    Impact has had a major impact on our business. It is pretty easy to use if you don't have multiple accounts with them, so be sure you keep things streamlined. Otherwise, it can be confusing if you have to bounce between different accounts you've applied to. While they are managed under a single login, they can be difficult to distinguish between when trying to see how successful your campaigns are.

    We've been reaching out requesting support for two months and no one has responded. They completely ghosted us. We've emailed the original sales rep, our account manager, our sales rep and account manager's bosses, and others. Still no response, though I can see the emails have been opened multiple times. I've never experienced worse support.

    • By using Impact we were able to increase the number of advertisers on our platform.
    • Delayed payments on the part of advertisers or Impact creates so many execution issues.
    • Multi regional campaigns helped us to increase our presens in the market.
