Today we get a chance to talk with Jeff Cress, VP of Business Development and Marketing at MGECOM. Over the course of our interview we learn that not only was Jeff a DJ spinning the tunes on the FM dial back in the day, but also could tune up the engine in a fighter jet. He is a man of many hobbies with a wide variety of interests, which you will read about below. Enjoy the interview and getting to learn a bit more about our friend and colleague Jeff Cress!

How and when did you first get started in affiliate marketing?
I was in corporate Finance at a global pharmaceuticals company at the beginning of 2009 when I decided to align my career more with my education (MBA with concentrations in Marketing and Health Services). I was initially planning on going into Pharma Sales, but found MGECOM and was immediately fascinated with Affiliate Marketing and the HUGE disparity between the ROI of a well managed affiliate program, and the way most companies do it (very poorly). I was very attracted to the massive opportunity to help merchants protect their brand while getting more bang for their buck.

What do you most like about the industry?
I am most drawn to the creative, energetic, entrepreneurial spirit that drives the industry.

What improvements you would like to see in the industry?
The affiliate industry is still relatively immature with a lot of “wild west” mentality. To truly be embraced by major businesses the professionalism level of many in the industry needs to improve.

What are some of the challenges that you encounter in your Business Development role?
There is no standardization of terms in the affiliate industry. Unfortunately, there are rip-off artists that use the same terminology to describe what they do as the legit service providers like MGECOM. That makes differentiation difficult, even when there are massive differences in the level of service provided.

Do you see affiliates embracing mobile and social?
Of course. I think that some of the most creative and forward thinking marketers in the world are in the affiliate industry. They were figuring out how to make money in the mobile and social channels before most merchants realized that their products could be promoted via those channels.

How do you keep up on industry trends, latest industry news, etc?
A combination of great discussions with prospective clients, lots of reading, and discussions with the MGECOM team, who are some of the best informed folks in online marketing.

What most attracted you to join the MGECOM team?
I was most attracted to MGECOM’s commitment to be the best by specializing in only affiliate marketing program management. Too many firms try to be a “one stop shop” and end up doing a poor job on most, if not all disciplines. I could not work for an agency that tried to be all things to all people. As a BD professional, I sleep well knowing that the clients we bring onboard at MGECOM are getting real value for their investment.

What other jobs have you had outside of affiliate marketing?
I worked my way through undergrad as a radio DJ and aircraft mechanic in the Air Force Reserve.
Then I spent over a decade with some of the biggest Pharmaceutical companies in the world in IT, Sales Operations, and Finance functions.

And on the personal, “fun” side:

What are a few of your hobbies?
Playing with my wife and kids.
Boating
Flying
Ice Hockey
TaeKwonDo
Backpacking
Hot rods
Yeah… I’ve got too many hobbies

What activities/sports did you do in high school or college?
Wresting, Track, and Marching Band in High School (odd combo, huh?)
Wrestling, Football, College Radio, and Rugby in College
Used to wake board and play soccer, but after the 3rd knee surgery had to give both up.

What is your favorite vacation location?
Anywhere my wife and kids are.

If you won a lottery, what would be the first thing you’d buy?
A new phone with an unlisted phone number. Won’t happen though, as I don’t gamble on anything unless I can control the outcome.

Your favorite band to see live?
Sleeping Booty
http://www.sleepingbootyband.com/

What is your “must see” TV?
I don’t watch much TV. I try to catch Carolina Hurricanes games on TV or in person. Otherwise, TV is very spotty and hit or miss for me.
Although, I love when I can catch the Red Bull Air Race Series. Simply incredible how they make such demanding, high performance flying look so easy.

What is your favorite Christmas gift you have ever received as a kid or adult?
Anything my kids have picked out or made themselves.

Coke or Pepsi?
If I have to choose, I’d say Coke… but I rarely drink soft drinks.

As you can see, in addition to working to bring new clients into the MGECOM family, Jeff manages to juggle many other things to keep himself busy throughout his day. Thanks for sharing, Jeff!

Hello Affiliates,

Welcome to the Ipsos i-Say affiliate newsletter. Over the past weeks we’ve made some changes to the Ipsos affiliate program. Basically we added to the action criteria a requirement for panelists to fill out the “Getting to Know You” survey. It was a necessary step that will help improve the quality of the leads affiliates are sending us, but for affiliates it will be business as usual and most affiliates will not notice any difference in the programs performance.

We also updated all creatives and links, and archived the old images and links that had reference to the Monthly Draw, so please be sure to log into your account and replace your old images with the new i-Say images.
We are here to help you succeed! If you have questions about the Ipsos affiliate program, contact us at Ipsos@mgecom.com

We will have more great opportunities coming soon.

Good luck Affiliates,
Darren

Hello Affiliates,

Welcome to Karate Joe’s April update. Last month I gave you some suggestions of product categories you could promote through the Karate Joe’s affiliate program, so this month I’m giving you a few specific products that are currently on sale at Karate Joe’s during the month of April.

April Opportunities:

- The Tapout Clearance Sale is always popular among affiliates and poular items included in the sale are Tapout training gloves, mouth pieces, Thai pads, headgear and small target equipment.
- Receive a free Tapout Performance Band with a purchase of $25. You could use this item as a great incentive to purchase.
- The Bob XL is currently on sale for $299 and with free shipping. If you are not promoting the Bob XL you are missing out on a great opportunity.
- The regular price for student uniforms is $49.99 but during April student Karate uniforms are on sale for $19.99. I really can’t think of a better incentive to purchase a student karate uniform than a $30 savings.

Affiliates, I also want to mention that the free shipping coupon code FSKJ12 is activated again during the month of April. This coupon is one of the most popular coupons at Karate Joe’s so don’t forget to use it in your advertising.

We are here to help you succeed! If you have questions about the Karate Joes affiliate program, contact us at karatejoes@mgecom.com

After a short hiatus, we are back this Monday morning with an interview with another one of our accomplished Affiliate Managers, Darren Zapsky. Darren has over 10 years experience in the affiliate marketing industry and has been both an affiliate and an affiliate manager, which gives him a great perspective on what it takes to be successful as an affiliate.

How and when did you first get started in affiliate marketing?
I developed my first affiliate website in 2001 and decided to make a career of affiliate marketing around 2009.

What do you most like about the industry?
For me it’s the challenge of performance marketing; in affiliate marketing you are only limited by your imagination. I also think the people in the affiliate industry are among the friendliest and most helpful people in Internet marketing industry. I rarely ever encounter people in this industry who refuse to offer advice.

What improvements you would like to see in the industry?
I’d like to see some kind of standardization regarding issues such as the Affiliate Nexus Sales Tax rulings. Also more network consistency and standardization, while each network seems to do certain things well they all seem to have plenty of room for improvement – especially in the area of support.

What are some of the challenges that you encounter as an Affiliate Manager?
Some merchants who place constraints on their program by only looking at the big picture and not trying to understand what makes the affiliate program work. Also there is a lack of experienced affiliates who actually understand how to niche and leverage the unlimited affiliate marketing opportunities that are out there for the taking. Fortunately, we have great relationships with our merchants and our affiliates, both who are open our ideas, visions and strategies.

Do you see affiliates embracing mobile and social?
I’m definitely seeing social media affiliates but I just don’t think social media and mobile have evolved to the point of being as effective as search. With that said, I’m actually seeing a lot of affiliates exploring ways to move away from search and toward traditional advertising methods.

How do you keep up on industry trends, latest industry news, etc?
Social media, forums, private groups, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, etc,.

What most attracted you to join the MGECOM team?
The opportunity to learn the finer details of affiliate management while working with high profile clients.

What other jobs have you had outside of affiliate marketing?
Search Marketing Manager, E-commerce Manager, SEO technician, Website Developer. I also held positions working construction and distribution earlier in my life.

?And some of the “fun facts” about Darren:

What are a few of your hobbies?
My great passion is wilderness canoeing but I also do casual whitewater and flatwater paddling. I also do Judo and a lot of cardio exercise. I have an old Trans Am I’m restoring but progress is very slow. I’ve also been doing a lot of experimental cooking lately.

What activities/sports did you do in high school or college?
Judo, motorcycle and motocross riding

What is your favorite vacation location?
Anywhere in the deep woods that requires canoe travel. Also Disney or any beach location will suffice.

If you won a lottery, what would be the first thing you’d buy?
I can think of a few bills I’d pay off then consider purchasing a winter getaway somewhere warm.

Your favorite band to see live?
Roger Waters “The Wall” Tour. I saw it two years ago and will be seeing it again in 2012.

What is your “must see” TV?
I’m not really a TV person and I’m proud to say I never watched Jersey Shore. But if I am watching it’s usually something related to history, NFL, or the outdoors. But lately I have been watching a lot of the primary debates.

What is your favorite Christmas gift you have ever received as a kid or adult?
That would be the KitchenAid mixer I got this Christmas. My homemade pizzas and mashed potatoes have greatly improved since I got my mixer, but you could break a tooth on my homemade bread.

Coke or Pepsi?
I’ll have a craft beer please.
