Buy.com Expands Into Europe With Commission Junction
LONDON, UK – 18th February 2010 – Buy.com, the Internet
superstore, is launching its European affiliate marketing activity with
Commission Junction, the leading global network, following the announcement
that the US Company is expanding into five European countries. Commission
Junction will launch and manage the programme for UK, France, Germany,
Italy and Spain.
Buy.com aims to replicate its affiliate marketing success in the US, by
expanding its programme across the UK and Europe. Commission Junction
provides advanced affiliate marketing solutions that help marketeers
increase online leads and sales, by facilitating strategic relationships
between advertisers and publishers. Through affiliate marketing Buy.com will
be able to encourage customers to click on its adverts which will lead them
directly to the site and will thus increase sales.
Founded in 1997, Buy.com, Inc. is a leading retail marketplace with more
than 12 million customers worldwide and is focused on providing the best
deals on a broad selection of high-quality goods. Commission Junction
has offices across Europe and will manage this programme by assigning
dedicated teams from each office to the programme.
Eoin Matthews, Managing Director, Buy Europe, said: "Launching in Europe
with Commission Junction was an obvious choice for us due to our longstanding
relationship with them in the US, and their proven abilities in building
large successful affiliate marketing programmes. Commission Junction's
strong global presence and multilingual abilities across Europe will allow
us to build the structure and support necessary in our affiliate marketing
as we continue our expansion."
Alison Guise, General Manager, Commission Junction Europe, said: "Buy.com
is a very established ecommerce brand in the US and it is incredibly exciting
for us to be working with them as they expand their operations into Europe.
They are very committed to their affiliate marketing channel and we are
delighted that they have chosen to partner with Commission Junction at this
crucial stage of their development."
