I talk about a surprising case study where a lending product thrived in one affiliate marketplace but completely flopped in another. We explore the key differences between marketplaces that can dramatically impact performance and provide actionable insights for fintech marketers.
Key Insights- Don't assume success transfers between marketplaces: A product that works well with one affiliate partner may struggle with another due to fundamental marketplace differences.
- Three critical marketplace variables to consider:
- Algorithm differences
- Competitive landscape variations
- Offer presentation layer discrepancies
- Strategic takeaways:
- Consider designing different product versions for different channels
- Expect varying unit economics across partnerships
- Recognize that market share will naturally differ between platforms
