Unlike other affiliate networks, Avelon charges no onboarding, upfront, monthly or override fees. We designed the platform to give advertisers the insight and confidence to pay affiliates what they're worth.
With the huge upfront costs attributed to other networks, the average commission payment for Affiliates in 2022 is just 3%.
On Avelon we have calculated you are able to offer 2 - 5 times the average commission payment than other affiliate networks, and still retain a better margin.
We have included our recommendations based on your product margin below for an AOV of £62.50.
