ASW 2011: Come for the Affiliate Marketing, Stay for the Social Media

ADOTAS – The best known affiliate marketing events are the two Affiliate Summits, which have multiplied in size many times since they were launched in 2003 by affiliate marketers Shawn Collins of Affiliate Tips and Missy Ward.

The 2010 Affiliate Summit West had the highest attendance of any Affiliate Summit and the Jan. 9-11, 2011 renewal in Las Vegas is expected to surpass it with a sell-out crowd.

Whether you are an affiliate, merchant or agency, Affiliate Summit is the top opportunity to network with the most successful and stay on top of the latest in affiliate solutions and technology.

Many of the new solutions are related to integrating social media into affiliate marketing efforts. If you attend Affiliate Summit you should consider extending your stay one more day to attend Influence People’s Social Media Marketing Las Vegas the very next day, Jan. 12, 2011.

In a recent survey done by SmartBrief and Summus Limited and profiled in Social Media Examiner’s post on Social Media Trends, businesses surveyed indicated where they are with their social media strategies:

“It takes time for companies to incorporate social media effectively. The data identified a 2-year mark where businesses begin to gain confidence in their social media activity.”

Social media proficiency is critical to affiliates, merchants, businesses and agencies alike. These two coinciding events can put you on the fast track to increased success online.

You can save 10% off any level of Affiliate Summit West pass by using discount code ASW11GROW10 and 10% off tickets to Social Media Marketing Las Vegas by using discount code AdotasAll.
