Partnership marketing
According to DemandGen’s “2024 Channel Partner Marketing Benchmark Survey,” 71% of respondents are optimistic about partner-generated revenue, expecting it to grow by more than 10% this year.
Additionally, one-quarter of the participants foresee more modest increases ranging from 1% to 10%.
This positive outlook highlights the potential for significant growth in partner-driven revenue opportunities.
Companies that engage in partnership marketing to expand their business may experience at least four distinct advantages:
- Access to new customers;
- Cost-effective marketing: Partnering extends your marketing budget and capability because you benefit from the expertise and resources of another business.
- Reduced risks;
- Greater customer trust: Partnering with a brand that has an excellent reputation inspires potential customers to associate your brand with high-quality goods and services.
Marketing partnerships can manifest in various forms, with some being more directly engaged with customers while others primarily operate behind the scenes.
The partnership between Golf Genius and CPG constitutes a referral partnership.
This collaborative effort establishes a referral pipeline, wherein loyal customers of one entity are encouraged to visit and potentially become patrons of the other.
Such partnerships extend beyond mere transactions and necessitate ongoing cultivation and management.
