The Undercurrent to Exponential Growth for a Young Ecommerce Retailer—Affiliate Marketing

LinkConnector and JEBCommerce teamed up to launch an affiliate program for Cafe Last giving the new retailer customized strategy, technical solutions, all-hands on deck teammates and creative innovation resulting in rapid online growth.

Entering the eCommerce ocean and standing out from big box stores to acquire customers is a daunting endeavor for small businesses. Cafe Last, a retailer of espresso machines, found affiliate marketing to be its lifeboat. Together with the strategic guidance from JEBCommerce, an affiliate management agency, and the technical solutions from LinkConnector, an affiliate network, Cafe Last navigated and thrived exponentially to grow revenue 285% over their goal.

A case study released today by JEBCommerce (JEB) and LinkConnector (LC) tells the story of how Cafe Last is harnessing the innovation of affiliate marketing to empower exceptional growth and exceed revenue goals in the first two months of its affiliate program. Graham Cooke, Founder of Cafe Last, expressed how “Together, JEB and LC helped us build transparent and profitable relationships with affiliate partners helping our brand connect with relevant audiences.”

Affiliate Marketing has proven to be an invaluable means for Cafe Last to grow customer acquisition, access technology solutions and increase revenue all while achieving a profitable return. The case study findings illustrate the diversified reach Cafe Last garnered through affiliate partners reaching consumers at all stages of the shopping journey with Content affiliates driving 43% of affiliate channel revenue as they connected with shoppers in the discovery stage.

Growing a profitable eCommerce presence equipped with the metaphorical oars, flares and position-indicating beacons to remain buoyant are the lifeboat qualities from which online stores benefit and rise with the tide when having an expertly steered affiliate program.
