Overall Satisfaction with Impact

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Impact makes it easy for us to manage affiliate and referral relationships. The biggest challenge is often having to login to separate accounts.

Cons

Customer service can be hit or miss.
If you have questions or issues or are denied, it can be difficult to understand why, so that you can adjust and re-apply.

Return on Investment

Usability

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.

Alternatives Considered

CJ Affiliate

Both help you manage partnership and referral programs. The biggest challenge is that programs can switch between the two and it can make it difficult to update across different products. Fortunately, Impact, etc are good at notifying you ahead of time if a program is moving or removes you from their program. This way you have ample time to update and re-apply, etc.
