5 Reasons You Should Work With Acme Affiliates

I’m not new to affiliate marketing and I’m always on the lookout for the networks that are coming stars. I’m working with another network that’s getting lots of positive “buzz” among my seasoned affiliate peers. The network is called ACME Affiliates.

First, let me tell you, I get a kick out of this name. If you remember the good ol’ days of cartoons, the ever-popular Looney Toons characters always got their supplies from the ACME Corporation. I always wondered why they called their fictional company Acme. Turns out that others wondered why too, so to quell their undying need for an answer they turned it into a backronym.

Never heard of a backronym? Don’t be too ashamed, most people haven’t. Here’s the definition: “A backronym or bacronym is a phrase constructed after the fact to make an existing word or words into an acronym.”

Many people have “created” backronyms for the Looney Toons’ Acme Corporation. Here are a few; “A Company Making Everything”, “A Company [that] Makes Everything” and “Acme Company Makes Everything”. Makes sense since they sold literally everything; anvils, dynamite, trains, shoes, guns, bombs, crates with tigers in them, and even traps for the coyote trying to catch the road-runner.

As I was saying before the spelling bee tangent, ACME Affiliates has a great name that I really appreciate.  According to their tag line, their meaning of ACME is “A Company Marketing Everything”. Maybe it’s just me, but I really think that’s clever. Marketers are notorious for being creative and these guys aren’t letting us down.

It was because of the name that I decided to apply for their network. How could I resist. I’m an avid Looney Toons fan and anyone playing off the Acme name had to be given a chance. I’m glad that I did. So far my experience has been a great one.

So here are my 5 reasons you should be working with ACME Affiliates too.

1. They seem to have a grip on the challenges affiliates face. We’re always trying to get our pages to convert better. When was the last time, or first time for that matter, you ever saw a network do the same thing? If you want to see something refreshing, go check out their signup page. It’s an a/b split test, at least it was when I signed up. To me that meant these guys understood conversion rates and could speak the affiliate language. I was right, they do speak our language and in-fact they’ve even helped me out on achieving better conversions before, which brings me to the second point.
2. Help is available! I was having a difficult time getting one of my pages to convert like I knew it could. My creative juices had simply ran-out for the day. I got on the phone with my AM and we worked through a few ideas that weren’t just a regurgitation and repeat of my own ideas. That was refreshing.
3. They pay on-time. I know this is a big one and if your wondering why I didn’t name this one first, it’s because every network of good reputation does this. ACME appears to be no different. Their payments came fast and on time. I push higher volumes and I was able to get faster payouts. Very accommodating!
4. Great offers plus high payouts. Almost every offer in their network is either an exclusive or an offer that converts very well. Their picky about the offers they bring in – as every network should be. They are extremely competitive in their payouts too… an absolute plus!
5. Rewards, rewards, rewards. ACME is great because they know how to treat you. I’m one that LOVES getting perks. ACME gives away all sorts of things including iPads, trips and even a Mercedes when you reach certain goals. I don’t know of any other affiliate network giving away a Mercedes as a bonus for hitting volume goals. I can’t wait to get my Mercedes!

Well there you have it. My 5 reasons why I think that ACME Affiliates is the next rising star. Go signup with them and start running some traffic. You’ll be impressed at just how responsive and attentive they are.

Go check them out: ACME Affiliates. They’re definitely worth working with.
