Three words to describe my partnership with Affilae: efficiency, pedagogy, and trust! Real-time access to the SaaS platform allows us to work independently, complemented by Mélanie’s support.

Our affiliate program achieved rapid and beyond-expected results, particularly with certain influencer partners we wouldn’t have identified without Affilae.

Affilae covers the entire funnel and can adapt our strategy with great flexibility. Ultra-responsive, Mélanie provides tailored action plans with a wide variety of partnerships (publisher types, formats, frequency, etc.), allowing us to pivot according to our challenges!.

It is a pleasure to work for Faguo, a brand that is committed, ethical, and human in its values, which is reflected in our collaboration. With Faguo, we activate the entire conversion funnel, allowing us to achieve a great ROI and vary our initiatives.

We build quality partnerships by creating relevant content for Faguo’s brand awareness on blogs and social media. Integration into shopping guides, display campaigns, and sharing the brand’s commercial operations drive quality traffic and boost conversions.

Anne-Sophie is both challenging and receptive to my recommendations, enabling us to test new partners and initiatives to achieve the 2024 growth objectives!

I am delighted to support Faguo in its affiliate strategy for the past year. Anne-Sophie is always receptive to our recommendations and gives us significant leeway to propose new levers and partnerships.

Each year, we work on restructuring the strategy by proposing new optimizations while staying aligned with Faguo’s image.

Moreover, working with such a committed brand is a very enriching and rewarding experience!
