Balfe's needed a solution that could open up a new acquisition channel without overwhelming their small, busy team.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\"\u201cObviously as a retail business we wanted to grow our sales, but as a relatively new business compared to some of our competitors, it was also a key goal for us to increase traffic to the site from respected\/well-known referrers and build further awareness of the business.\u201d<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Balfe\u2019s Bikes is an independent bike retailer with a strong reputation for quality bikes, parts, and accessories paired with expert customer service. Despite being relatively new compared to some competitors, they have grown rapidly, earning trust within the UK cycling community through their commitment to customer experience.<\/p>

Balfe\u2019s Bikes faced a dual challenge:<\/p>

  1. Growing sales sustainably in a competitive environment.<\/li>
  2. Increasing website traffic from respected publishers and affiliates to build brand authority and trust with new audiences.<\/li><\/ol><\/p>

    Before Avelon, they had not tapped into affiliate partnerships effectively. They needed a solution that could open up this new acquisition channel without overwhelming their small, busy team.<\/p>


    <\/p>\n

    Introducing Queenie Waterman<\/b><\/p>\n

    Queenie Waterman is the Marketing Executive at Balfe\u2019s Bikes. Her role focuses on driving digital marketing initiatives, increasing brand awareness, and supporting ecommerce growth through effective acquisition channels.<\/p>\n

    \u201cObviously as a retail business we wanted to grow our sales, but as a relatively new business compared to some of our competitors, it was also a key goal for us to increase traffic to the site from respected\/well-known referrers and build further awareness of the business.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n
    For Queenie and the team, it wasn\u2019t just about driving transactions \u2013 it was about strengthening their reputation in a crowded market and building brand credibility with new customers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    WHY AVELON?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    When considering affiliate platforms, the team prioritised cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and minimal operational burden.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    \u201cLow cost, low risk with a minimal monthly fee to use the platform vs. other affiliate networks,\u201d Queenie explains. \u201cEase of use & automation. As a small team we are at times quite stretched, so being able to let the platform do its thing once we were onboarded has been very helpful.\u201d<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Queenie describes the onboarding process as easy, informative, and supportive from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>

    \u201cAndrew has always been on hand to help with any queries during set-up and beyond, and always very responsive. As well as sharing with us new features to make sure we can make the most out of the platform.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>

    This high-touch support gave the team confidence to launch quickly without operational disruption, while also learning how to maximise Avelon\u2019s capabilities for their specific goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \u201cI suppose one surprising thing was how quickly sales picked up once we were live.\u201d<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Since implementing Avelon, Balfe\u2019s Bikes has transformed its approach to affiliate marketing and publisher partnerships. Sales grew way faster than expected and within 6-months, their program had matured to \u00a3100k of revenue per month.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt has helped us build relationships with publishers and other affiliates that we didn\u2019t have before. Opened up a completely new acquisition channel for us.\u201d<\/p>\n


    <\/p>\n

    Key outcomes include:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \u2705 A brand new acquisition channel<\/p>\n

    \u2705 Faster-than-expected sales growth post-launch<\/p>\n

    \u2705 Strengthened relationships with respected publishers and affiliates<\/p>

    \u2705 <\/span>Complete automation & minimal overview required after set up<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Instead of being bogged down by manual management, they were able to focus on strategic growth while Avelon handled operational workflows in the background.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    \u201cHopefully we will see our sales continue to grow, both through existing partnerships and the onboarding of new affiliates both in the publisher and influencer space.\u201d<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Unique Outcomes<\/b><\/p>\n

    The simplicity and automation of Avelon were critical to success for the small marketing team. Instead of being bogged down by manual management, they were able to focus on strategic growth while Avelon handled operational workflows in the background.<\/p>\n

    Looking ahead, Balfe\u2019s Bikes plans to continue scaling their affiliate partnerships, onboarding new publishers and influencers to extend their reach and grow sales further.<\/span><\/p>\n


    <\/b><\/p>

    Recommendation<\/b><\/p>\n

    When asked if they would recommend Avelon to other businesses in their industry, Queenie\u2019s response was both candid and playful:<\/p>\n

    \u201cAbsolutely not, please no one else use it\u2026 (Joking of course). Yes we would recommend Avelon, it\u2019s been a highly effective channel for us. It\u2019s cost effective, and easy to use once set up. The depth of publishers and other affiliates provides a great pool of opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
