Partnerize vs. Pepperjam Ascend (discontinued)

Since Parterize's partnership announcement with Konnecto I'm looking forwars to some exciting improvements to the platform that will embrace AI tools for reporting and communication with partners

For our business, affiliate marketing is by far the lowest ROI marketing channel. If you're looking to get products, brands, and offers listed on coupon sites, Pepperjam Ascend is a great tool. If you're looking to engage with influencers or drive sales without giving away margin, Pepperjam Ascend is likely not for you.

Incentivized

• Selection of merchants
• Create data reports
• Striking inferface

Incentivized

• Lots of coupon sites.
• Enables different tiers of commissions.
• Can blast out newsletters to your network.

• The reporting interface for publishers could be improved to be more user friendly.
• Contract term special conditions are difficult to find and sometimes not available so this area could be improved.

• The dashboard/platform is the furthest thing from user-friendly. It looks like a high school student with zero experience designed it in excel and hoped for the best with the results.
• Reports are hit and miss. They may load, they may not! It's ridiculous, in my opinion.
• No mobile options whatsoever, everything has to be desktop. It's 2022, they need to catch up!

My business is able to extract what we need from Partnerize to access and analyse performance data. Once you know what you're doing and where everything is, it's great. There is always room for improvement as the industry evolves and more metrics become available though

Awin is a far friendlier and easier to use interface, though Partnerize offers a different variety of merchants

Pepperjam Ascend's user interface is way behind these other platforms. It's not intuitive nor is it easy to create custom reports and engage with your publishers. We have been stuck with Pepperjam and many other affiliate networks have a very similar layout without much upside.

Incentivized

• Analysing revenue streams
• Maintaining affiliate relationships

Incentivized

• I was hitting anywhere from $130 - $450 per month in commission payout before Pepperjam Ascend. Now with Pepperjam Ascend, I maybe get $40! I am still waiting on payouts from January.
