You can even customise affiliate stores to fit the branding needs of each one of your clients. “Once an online store is set up, an affiliate marketer simply selects the products from your product range that he would like to sell, marks up his selling price and starts to sell on a commission basis. Both you and the affiliate online store owner can log in and monitor sales and progress of an order at any time with payments being processed online directly through the affiliate store.” The tours guide visitors around the DecoNetwork platform allowing them to experience the entire customer process from order through to fulfilment. “Our specialist team will customise the demo for your requirements and to maximise your 30 minutes.
