Victoria McQuillan, head of affiliates and online partners at On the Beach, said: “Our affiliate programme has gone from strength to strength over the past few years and we truly believe that Affiliate Window is the right partner to help us grow to the next level.”
David Hall, publisher services director at Affiliate Window, added: “Travel is a highly competitive sector, so it’s crucial for us to deliver niche, content-related sites within the travel vertical that will help drive incremental sales to the On the Beach programme.”
The partnership between On the Beach and Affiliate Window will allow it to better segment, analyser and recruit new affiliates to drive up performance.
