Overview
Microsites are co-branded landing pages that partners can use to promote vendor products and services. These sites are built from vendor-approved templates, ensuring brand consistency while allowing partners to personalize certain elements. This feature is crucial for partners, especially high-volume affiliates, who need dedicated, trackable web presences to drive leads and conversions.
By providing customizable microsites, the platform empowers partners to execute effective digital marketing campaigns. Lead form submissions from these microsites are automatically routed to the partner's leads queue within the Sell module, streamlining the sales process and enabling accurate attribution for commissions and performance tracking.
