Affiliate Summit New York 2010
New York, Empire State of Mind…. Concrete jungles where dreams are made of! The city welcomed us on Sunday afternoon. For the two us this was of first trip to The Big Apple. What a sight! Time Square was mind-boggling. Wow, let’s leave it at that.
What we were really looking forward to was getting to put a face to a name of our clients. It’s always good to meet those we work with on a daily basis, and learn about their businesses. Here’s a brief rundown of our ASE experiences.
Day 1
After a fun night at Old Castle and show tunes in the ballroom with friends, the day started bright and early at 10am. From 10 until the end of the day the exhibit hall was slammed. Usually we’d expect a lull during lunch, but not this first day. The show officially ended at 5pm, but that wasn’t the end for us! When our feet were tired and our voices were just about gone – the day wasn’t over. The exhibit hall was still swarming with people.
During our busy first day we met a lot of new potential advertisers and even merchants looking to get exposure for their products online – Which is good news for our affiliates. There will be a lot more new offers coming your way.
Day 2
The various parties that were hosted on Monday night resulted in a slow start to Tuesday (Thanks Scott from Adknowledge for the VIP passes!). People started filtering through the exhibit hall around noon, and we had the opportunity to meet a lot more publishers. By about 3:30pm, business was just about done for the day. Attendees started using their drink tickets… of which there were plenty! We used ours for bottled water! By 4pm it was time for us to get in our “limo” and head to the airport. A couple of us couldn’t handle the Chinese buffet lunch, bumpy ride, heat and pure exhaustion so the porcelain princess was their savior at the airport; others of us, managed just fine!
All in all, it was a great show. With great people! The trends that we noticed were mobile marketing, Click to Call, PPV, and telemarketing. We have great leads for new advertisers meaning new offers for our growing publisher base. Thanks Shaun and Missy for a great show once again.
