Deal Dispatcher is an opportunity for LinkShare Advertisers to highlight special offers and promotions targeted to consumers or Publishers. These deals have special commission structures or offer Publishers bonuses as a way to increase activity and revenue. Deal Dispatcher is one of the most effective ways to communicate your promotions to LinkShare’s entire network of Publishers. It is a great way to highlight consumer offers available for publishers to promote and to also provide Publishers incentives for promoting.

Deal Dispatcher is divided into 3 main categories/pages: Consumer Promotions, Publisher Promotions, and New Advertisers

The Consumer Promotions page of Deal Dispatcher is a list of deals from Advertisers that will benefit customers; for example, free shipping or $10 off of a purchase. These offers can be very helpful for turning clicks into sales and increasing conversion rate.

The Publisher Promotions page of Deal Dispatcher is a list of deals from Advertisers that will benefit Publishers directly through commissions. These awards can be anything from sign-up bonus offers for new publishers to increased commission rates or return days for loyal supporters.

The New Advertisers page of Deal Dispatcher is a list of the newest Advertisers to join the LinkShare and the Lead Generation Networks. Short descriptions of the program introduce the Advertisers and an Apply Now link is available.
