How Affiliate Marketing Works
Partnership Formation: Hotels partner with affiliates, which can include travel bloggers, travel agencies, comparison websites, or influencers. Affiliates create links to the hotel’s website and promote them to their audience through blogs, social media, or email newsletters. Commission Structure: Affiliates earn a commission for each booking made through their referral links. This could be a fixed fee or a percentage of the sale, depending on the agreement between the hotel and the affiliate. Performance Tracking: Through affiliate networks or tracking software, hotels can monitor the performance of their affiliates, tracking metrics such as clicks, conversions, and revenue generated from each partner. Payout Management: Once a predetermined threshold is met, hotels are responsible for managing the payment of commissions to their affiliates based on the agreed-upon terms.
