[buy at]

Hi Everyone

I hope your all doing well.

I wanted to pose this question as buy.at pioneered " open network " style relationships between its merchants and affiliates in the UK and we found that all aspects of the working relationship were improved by the close contact this bred.

We regularly meet our affiliates to gain more insight into how the relationship can be improved and to focus on supporting their business's . This is done through events we hold , industry style events and more focused sessions with groups of affiliates in a sector or genre or one on one meetings .

I wondered how often US affiliates get together with their networks to discuss developments and growing their repspective businesses?

It would be good to get a feel for the forums view on whether people see this as an important part of the mix for them?

All comments gratefully recieved.

Thanks

I would say face to face meet ups are relatively new and reserved to the conference's and summits.

We here in Orlando have made a habit of having our now famous "Central Florida Lunch" where a lot of good ideas are passed around and shared.
