You’ve probably referred a friend to a great local café, mechanic, or insurance broker — but did you get paid for it?

Big names like Amazon, Uber, and Shopify all run affiliate programs that reward people for sending them customers. Now, it's time for South Delta businesses to do the same — and it’s easier than you think.

Affiliate marketing is simply referral marketing with a tracking system and a thank-you payment. When someone you trust recommends your business and it leads to a sale, wouldn’t it make sense to share a piece of the pie?

Here’s Why You Should Consider It:

It’s Word-of-Mouth, Supercharged
Your happy customers and loyal supporters become a motivated sales force.
Low Cost, High Return
You only pay when business is earned — no upfront ad spend.
Lifetime Value = Lifetime Referrals
Reward affiliates for the long-term value of a client, not just the first sale.
It Builds Local Loyalty
Neighbours helping neighbours. Local helping local.

From realtors and tradespeople to gyms and spas, almost any South Delta business can benefit from an affiliate model — even if it’s as simple as a spreadsheet and a promise.

“If Amazon can do it, why not your business?”

And if you need help getting started, I can assist in setting up a simple and ethical affiliate program that works for your model. Let’s turn good referrals into great revenue.
