…And we nailed it again! We successfully hosted our Second Affiliate Forum on November 2nd, 2017 at the luxurious Ibis Hotel Ikeja for our formidable Affiliate members. As we expected, the turn up was awesome, energy was positive and the response was quite incredible! In contrast to the First forum held in June 2017 that hosted more of travel agents, this time we spoke to mostly to our travel bloggers and non-travel content website owners.

What is Travelstart Affiliate Programme?
Travelstart’s Affiliate programme offers lifestyle bloggers, established travel agencies and aspiring (travel) website owners the opportunity to sell flight tickets in partnership with Travelstart. The programme allows selected partners earn up to 70% commission when they get their customers to purchase flight tickets directly from their own website. Becoming an Affiliate with Travelstart provides website owners with an opportunity to continue to be their own boss and make more money for their businesses!
The forum is part of Travelstart marketing initiatives to build stronger relationships with our Affiliates. It also presents an opportunity for Travelstart to share products & features updates, ideas around how the Affiliates can make more money and most importantly, the forum serves as an opportunity for the Affiliates to share their feedback.
