In all honesty, our heart slightly sank when we learned that the “14th St.” where the convention center which will house AffCon 2010 from June 21-22 was not based in New York City, but Denver. Still, the heart of Colorado should provide a great getaway for NYC-based affiliates (and anyone else, really) looking for a change of scenery. Continue reading »

As Affiliate Convention 2010 draws closer, the Blue Phoenix team is getting more and more excited—for a few reasons. Most important of them: Unlike traditional trade shows and conferences, AffCon 2010 is free for working affiliates. With affiliates bringing revenue to companies like ours, it makes no sense to have them pay to learn more about their trade. Which is why AffCon 2010—touted by event organizers as being the “highest level of affiliate marketers ever assembled in North America”—promises a diverse mix of marketers. Continue reading »

Four thousand affiliate marketers, one Las Vegas hotel, three days. The numbers alone are a little bit intimidating, yet the Blue Phoenix Media team just got back from the conference; and we’re here to tell the tale of one of the most successful Affiliate Summit’s to date. In this case, what happened in Vegas is getting documented on the BPM blog.

The conference started on Saturday, January 16th, but the party really got started at the meat market on Sunday. The BPM table was one of the most visited all day (it helped that we were next to a big screen TV playing the Jets – Chargers game). Some more numbers to describe the meat market: 4 BPM team members, 1 table, 6 hours of talking = 4 lost voices. We met some great people and look forward to working with a lot of them.

After closing down the meat market, we rushed to get ready for dinner, and the affiliate summit tip off party, co-sponsored by who else? Blue Phoenix Media of course. The party, at the hardwood suite in the palms, was a hit, with 700 people in attendance before we closed the doors.

After the party, it was time to get down to business. Monday and Tuesday brought meetings, lots of meetings. We’ve put many names to faces and started building some lasting relationships. And if we weren’t starting a new relationship, we were catching up with some of the individuals and companies we’ve been working with for years.

If you were at the conference and we didn’t get to meet you, please drop us a line at meetings@bluephoenixmedia.com, we’d love to get to know you, don’t worry, we’re a friendly bunch. And if you weren’t at the conference (don’t worry, we won’t hold it against you), drop us a line as well.

Due to what I am told was relatively sparse attendance last year, many people involved in affiliate marketing dragged their feet buying passes to Affiliate Summit West this year. These people were very surprised to find that the event was not only going to be pretty well attended, but that it was even sold out well in advance. I have had no fewer than eight people (some to whom I had spoken, and others to whom I hadn’t) email or call me out of the blue asking if I had extra passes.

I’m not sure that this means what I hope it means: that the economy is actually on its way back to a full recovery. I feel confident, however, in the idea that performance-based marketing is really recovering from the global recession faster than traditional advertising and most other industries.

In any event, there has been a lot of buzz in the industry about Affiliate Summit West. Some of what you’ll hear and read is in anticipation of the parties. Most, though, is in anticipation of reconnecting with former clients, vendors and colleagues in a much more certain and positive commercial climate.

  The Blue Phoenix Media team will be at the Affiliate Summit West 2010 in Vegas!  This event will be fully loaded with experts, vendors, affiliate merchants and networks ready to share their expertise and create money making relationships that will help affiliates rack up on the big bucks for 2010 and so on.  Some of the speakers include Larry Adams from Google, Dave Gaetano of the New York Times and the CEO of Offers.com, Steve Schaffer.  Some other companies that will be in the building are Facebook, Affiliate Future, Resource Nation and Hub Spot. 

Yes, these speakers and companies are fabulous movers and shakers of the online marketing world; however, it’s only right that we take a few seconds to boast a few of our many attributes that we feel you should know about before meeting us at Affiliate Summit West.  We’re known for our affiliate network which consists of over 200 advertisers and 4,000 publishers.  We’ve got our back end PHP server along with 20+ exclusive web properties to maximize brand awareness that we’ve built and own as well as various Education Portals that generate quality leads.  We offer campaigns in over 20 verticals which include Education, Consumer Products, Health and Diet, to name a few.  We also have a Coreg platform to serve into registration pages to monetize websites.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, our CEO Amy Sheridan and COO Malaika Schmidt along with their team of affiliate managers will be in full effect at Affiliate Summit.  If you’d like to schedule a meeting, shoot us an email at Meetings@BluePhoenixMedia.com, otherwise just stop by Table #7 on Sunday January 17, at the Affiliate Meet Market, Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Amazon A-E
Time: 12:00pm – 6:00pm .  See you soon!

The Affiliate Convention, known for its platform for idea sharing and business building, will be held next week in Los Angeles from December 3rd-4th and our CEO Amy Sheridan will be there. Aside from all affiliates given free admission, they are provided with two full days of training, exhibiting and networking. Some of the many speakers include Marshall Simmonds, Chief Search Strategist of New York Times, Dush Ramachandran, VP of Click Bank and the CEO of Site Tuners, Tim Ash. As we can’t name all of the topics covered, we’ll tell you that some of them are The State of Search, Niche Markets (Dating and Travel), Mobile Marketing and SEO for Affiliates. Over 1,000 affiliates, 84% of this year’s delegates, will be in attendance and we definitely look forward to the possible business opportunities and relationships that will be formed next week.

If you’re going to be at the Affiliate Convention and would like to schedule a meeting with our CEO, Amy Sheridan, shoot us an email at Meetings@BluePhoenixMedia.com. See you there!
